What are the best strategies for running an online store that you can try even as a newcomer with a really young business? For Gagandeep, our today’s guest, one of the answers was using Sellvia to power his 3-month-old store. Let’s see how he’s doing it, exactly!
Hi, please, introduce yourself!
Hi, my name is Gagandeep Singh, I’m a Sales and Marketing professional from Canada.
Overall, I’m an entrepreneur with a wish to do something in life that would make people remember me. Someone who finds positively in every situation of life. A believer of the book called ‘The Secret’.
Let’s talk about your remarkable online store! How did it begin?
3 months ago, I got the AliDropship plugin to create an online store by myself. Now, it’s a self-made store on standard WordPress, working in the pet niche. It’s selling accessories and supplies for pet owners: carriers, sleeping mats, toys, etc. I’m targeting buyers from the US and Canada with it.
Some time after I got the plugin, I received an email with the Sellvia offering – the services of an ecommerce ecosystem with its own warehouse in California. I found it to be very interesting because of the fast US delivery and decided to give it a try.
Was it easy to set up Sellvia?
Powering my new store with Sellvia was very easy since everything is plugin-based and mostly done on autopilot. Also, it didn’t cause any legal changes for my business, like with registration or taxes or payment processing: everything stayed the same.
The big change, however, is that with Sellvia, I am able to fill my store with quality products and start growing it actively.
How do you choose the products for your store?
Before importing an item from the Sellvia catalog to my store, I compare its price and the recommended price to the market average. After I make sure the product has a good potential and can be profitable, I import it to my store and set the final price.
How is this strategy working out for you?
Using Sellvia to source products and process orders is more convenient, and the main thing is quality and reliability of the products. Quality control and fast delivery give me an advantage over competitors. Plus, shipping is awesome! I am now more confident in the store, and so are my customers. Feels like I now have a solid supplier I can trust!
And it kicked asap with the right advertising strategy: you can see it yourself from the store stats.

What are your advertising strategies?
I promote this store on social media and do Facebook ads.
Also, I am waiting for the Sellvia marketing materials to get released. I joined Sellvia at its early development stage, but I already know there will be sets of ready ads and materials for products, and I will simply import and use them to launch ad campaigns easier.
In general, what would you say about your experience with Sellvia?
It’s an awesome next step for the future of ecommerce. Full-scale marketing support will make it a one-stop solution for all ecommerce players.
In 3 months, Gagandeep went from a newly launched empty store to a working pet shop with orders coming in – and he keeps building it up. If you’d like to try the same route, you can take a look at how Sellvia works, whether you’re an ecommerce newcomer or a well-experienced business owner.
