00:00Hi Sissy Curls! We have a new dress. This is our Celeste dress.
00:13So you should buy this.
00:15Oh, someone commented. Huh? Someone's behind me.
00:20Oh, hi Rocco! I'm here.
00:22Oh, you're here?
00:23Yes, come with me. Come on.
00:25Okay, okay.
00:26Okay guys, this has four non-working buttons and a waist tie.
00:31So you should buy this.
00:33And Victor, we'll continue our live selling.
00:37Yes, see you later.
00:41What is up guys? Welcome back to the show.
00:43It's still me, Rocco Ruiz, and we're here on Straight From The Expert.
00:47On today's episode, we're joined by Ms. Jam Añago.
00:52Hello!
00:53Yes, Jam is in charge of Jamazing Apparel, which is an online selling platform.
00:59Jam, what can you tell us about online selling?
01:02Because I caught you in the middle of online selling earlier, right?
01:04So how is it as a business, as a whole?
01:06Well, as a business, online selling is good because you can cater any buyers around the Philippines while just being at home.
01:14When it comes to profit, it's really good and less expensive when it comes to online selling.
01:20Yes, it's like the store is coming to you.
01:22So when did you start online selling?
01:24I started online selling in 2021 during the pandemic.
01:28Because everyone is at home and as a work-from-home girly who misses shopping,
01:36what I did was reselling items from Taytay.
01:41Then we sold all of it to our friends, families, and our hometown.
01:47And after many months, it's good because we were able to manufacture our own items.
01:54So how do you make sure that your products are better than others?
01:58Well, number one, since we're manufacturing, we make sure that our items are affordable.
02:04Secondly, our items are high quality.
02:07And thirdly, our target market is very specific, which are dresses for churchgoers in the Philippines.
02:15So that's the target audience, the churchgoers.
02:18That's why you're selling Sunday dresses.
02:22Yes, it is actually inspired vintage church dresses.
02:27It looks a bit timeless.
02:28So I'm curious, there are a lot of online platforms where you can sell online, right?
02:34So what's the best for you?
02:37I've tried Facebook, Instagram, Shopee, and TikTok.
02:40But of them all, we earn more from TikTok.
02:45Let's say, from live selling, 80% of our total live selling or online revenue is from TikTok.
02:53But how about you? Do you have gimmicks when you sell online?
02:56Maybe the most I've done is viral memes.
02:59But for gimmicks, when we do live selling, we give freebies.
03:05We have discounts.
03:07And even, we have games.
03:09Something like that, to boost and show our consumers the items they're wearing.
03:16I have a question for you.
03:18Because keeping up with memes is a bit of a challenge, right?
03:20So what are the challenges you face as an online seller?
03:24Well, number one, maybe, is the bogus buyers.
03:27Ah, okay.
03:28But do you lose funds because of that?
03:31Or not?
03:32No, we don't.
03:33Just effort and time?
03:34Yes.
03:35How do you avoid bogus buyers?
03:37So what we do when they don't respond is, we really wait.
03:43Just to make sure that they're not bogus buyers.
03:46And if ever, we have bogus buyers, we make sure that we take note and block them right away.
03:53So that it doesn't happen again.
03:54Wow.
03:55Don't be bogus buyers, okay?
03:57It's a hassle for those who only earn honest living.
04:01I also thought that it might be a challenge for you if someone agrees with your designs.
04:06Or if someone sells similar items after seeing that,
04:09Wow, that's amazing.
04:10It's like their Sunday dress is on fire.
04:13Does that happen to you?
04:15Like someone agrees with your products?
04:17Yes, actually.
04:19Sometimes, our resellers sell the same item.
04:24But what we do now is, we provide exclusive designs to our resellers.
04:30So you'll make a design just for the reseller.
04:33And you have a design that's exclusive to you.
04:35Yes, exclusive.
04:36That's a good technique.
04:37So I'll just share, in my online skits, I upload 2-3 times a week.
04:42But I'm not that familiar with the technical aspects of live selling.
04:46So how often should you upload?
04:48How often should you live?
04:50What time should you upload?
04:52What are the technical aspects that you want to share with our audience?
04:56So we do live selling 3-4 times a week.
04:59And then, we have teasers that we invite our consumers.
05:06Like, at 8pm, see you guys.
05:08We have live selling.
05:10We have prepared videos ahead of time.
05:13So that our buyers will be informed.
05:16Secondly, of course, we do inventory count.
05:20So that our back office is updated.
05:23And when our customers check out, all of our items are on hand.
05:27And it will be shipped quickly.
05:29Thirdly, we do online selling for around 3-4 hours.
05:353-4 hours?
05:36Yes, directly.
05:37Is that just you?
05:38No, I already have my team.
05:40I'm with them.
05:41Since it's tiring if I'm the only one.
05:43So it's in words?
05:44Yes.
05:45Okay.
05:46Especially when it's our grand lives.
05:48They always look for me.
05:51Or special events like birthday live selling.
05:55Anniversary live selling.
05:57I should be the one doing the live selling.
06:02Can you teach me how to live sell?
06:04Sure, let's do it.
06:05There you go.
06:06G-Pad.
06:07Live selling this.
06:09So, Ms. Jamazing.
06:11Live selling G.
06:13So, what do I need to do to live sell effectively?
06:16How do I do this?
06:17Maybe, number one, you should have a cellphone.
06:20And your lights should be good.
06:22So that your buyers will appreciate the items that you're going to sell.
06:26Okay.
06:27Number two, you should know the product information of your item.
06:33What are the fabrics?
06:35What are the sizes?
06:37And what are the details of it?
06:39Okay, so I need to have a good memory of the details of the product.
06:43Yes.
06:44Number three, you should be on time when doing live selling.
06:48And number four and last, most importantly, you need to have fun.
06:53Is it as if you're just talking to your customers and you're answering their questions.
06:59So, do you have techniques to have fun with your customers?
07:02Do you have games when you do it?
07:03First of all, I call them CC girls.
07:06Number two, I'm always very energetic when I do live selling.
07:11And lastly, I say and address all their concerns properly in one item.
07:17Okay.
07:18Let's do a sample.
07:19And I'll handle you after.
07:21Sure.
07:22Let's try to do a live sell.
07:23It's like this, Rocco.
07:24Okay.
07:25Okay, CC girls.
07:26This is our dress.
07:28This is called Zarina dress.
07:30And the fabric of this is georgette.
07:32You won't like it.
07:34And it has different details.
07:36It has a zipper.
07:37It has a ribbon and collar.
07:39And of course, it's available in small, medium, and large.
07:43Okay, I'll try it.
07:45Yo, what's up, CC bro?
07:46So this is the red dress made of fabric.
07:50And it's available in size medium.
07:53Small, medium, and large.
07:55And if you buy this, your girlfriend will be very happy with you.
08:00That's the best valentine's gift you can get.
08:02Because it's red.
08:03The color of love, right?
08:05So buy one, broski.
08:07Buy one, take one.
08:08I'm just kidding.
08:09Buy one, take one.
08:10Can we do that?
08:11We might lose there.
08:12CC girls, go mine.
08:13And go mine, broski.
08:16That's okay, Rocco.
08:17You're already good.
08:18But don't forget to always check the comments.
08:21Because that is how you will communicate with your buyers.
08:25It's so fun to do live selling.
08:27I feel like I'm being lied to.
08:28I'm tired of it.
08:29I'm embarrassed because you usually do your live selling for 3 hours, right?
08:33And it just goes to show that if you're hardworking, you'll get far.
