Are got that right. Now 30% of my customers are from Canada.
There are man from Canada buying women stuff. It’s interesting that how many Canadian are willing to buy something. which is cost less than the shipping.
It seems to me that Canadian sometimes can’t get what they want in Canada. So they are willing to pay more shipping and duty fee to get a cheaper goods that is not available in their country.
If you are selling some sexy stuff like I do, you need to join Yahoo groups! Find your niche group and promote your discount there. Oh .. by the way, There are so so so many Canadians on Yahoo 360 and making friends.
