SPAM - I started a website selling condoms and lube. Tell me what you think..

[mavrick]

So I haven't posted in a while since I moved to Chicago for a few years for my job, but I got bored and decided to try starting an commerce site. I always hate going to the store to buy condoms, so after checking on the web and not finding many good options I decided to start my own store selling condoms and lube.

Check it out and let me know what you think. If you end up wanting to buy something use coupon codes "Save15" and "Free Shipping".

This is too awesome to be spam. You've got a great nose for dong related business.

[Art Shirk]

I know a guy who did this and makes serious bank. I sold a business with e-commerce like yours recently and we sourced our condoms through a fella just like you. Best of luck slowing the world population.

Do you carry size XXXXXXXXL?

Do you carry size XXXXXXXXL?

Probably easier to throw it over your shoulder than just carry it?

[mavrick]

Do you carry size XXXXXXXXL?

I have a small little thia lady that hand makes them at that size. She's only done XXXXL, so she made need a step ladder for you. She has tiny hands so no need to worry about any funny business from her...

Have you had much difficulty hiring staff for the returns department?

[Mofro261]

This is the type of economic stimulus package we need.

[ACH]

Hmmm, didn't see any "black mamabos"...

Have you thought about expanding your inventory to add santorum cleanup supplies?

Saw your name and I really thought you'd be asking for vapor barrier condoms..

If you want some honest criticism: your store is mostly terrible, and you have massive competition.

Problem #1: You're charging the prices 7-11 charges, plus shipping. Amazon and Walmart.com beats the shit out of you on price, and internet consumers generally don't give a fuck where they buy their generic commodities from.

Problem #2: You carry four brands (granted, four major brands). I know you're just getting started, but this isn't gonna cut it.

Problem #3: You're way late to the party. I'd suggest checking out www.condomdepot.com and seeing how it's really done. Hell, just copy and paste most of what's over there and you'll be light years ahead of what you currently have.

Problem #4: Every lube you carry is bad. Just fucking bad. So bad I'm just going to have to assume you have never had sex, ever.

Problem #5: The information about the condoms is whatever was written on the box. Know your product, take measurements, etc.

I could keep going. Sorry if it's harsh, but this is what 15 minutes of research on your competition brought up. It feels like you didn't bother.

I do like the sense of humor brought into it, and the logo kicks ass. Beyond that, I have no reason to buy from you.

Lube? If you need lube, you're doing it wrong.

[beaterdit]

Cool idea and I think the site's OK. What do you really want from an online condom store.

The prices do suck though. I got 36 trojans from my local grocery last week for $18, your price is $24 PLUS shipping.

As far as lubes yeah, not much selection. However, as far as I'm concerned all you need to know about lube is Astroglide so it'd work for me. A bigger size would be nice though I guess.

Personally though, I don't give a shit about picking them up in person and it's not the kind of thing I usually plan out well enough to wait for online shipping. It's more like fuck, I'm out of rubbers! I'll be right back baby! Then I try to find the cute checkout girl and act all casual like how YOU doin? Yeah, that's right, gettin me some tonight. You could have some of this too baby, if you play your cards right. Awwwwww yeeeeaaaahhh, see ya next time...

FKNA. Nice site. I go through a lot of condoms and have been looking for just such a site... because the drug store employees are starting to know me and now I get funny looks from them.

Special Edition Maggot Group Buy?

Maggot 30% discount code = "Maggot"

You make some good points. I just dropped prices $1 - $3 across the board. Will address the other points tonight.

The guy I know is the fella behind condomdepot. He is actually right off Leary in Fremont for the Seattle mags. So when I said he makes a shit load of dough, I guess its because he is the go-to spot. Don't toss the dream aside though OP. You furnish those wangs!

[PNWbrit]

I go through a lot of condoms

Try squeezing the air out of the little teat thing at the end.

Or just double-bag it?

Condomdepot.com site looks awful. Like someone who's never heard of website design. mavrick's site has a much cleaner design.
Also, I assume they come in plane brown boxes?
Lube really helps sometimes. Especially when it's some chick your not that into and you can just pound it for hours. Not enough lube = dick sore.

Agreed. condomedepot.com looks like a generic ecommerce site put together with bailing wire and duct tape from GoDaddy.com. Horrible design. therubberhut.com FTW.
