A new perfume, from poster to status

What does this tour show?

It shows a sample seller putting a new perfume on sale before lunch. Hiruni sells from home under the name Hiruni's Scents. Like most people who sell through status updates, she already designs a poster for each scent, with the name and the price of each bottle size. Typing the same details into a shop form feels like doing the job twice.

The tour has four steps on two phone screens. The first screen, Add a product, turns her poster into a product. The second, Share, turns the product into a status picture and gives every share a code of its own.

Why track shares at all?

A seller who posts the same product to her status, three groups and a cousin's group cannot tell which of those brought the orders. So she keeps posting everywhere, at the same times, and has no way to learn what works. When each share carries its own code, the answer is on the screen a day later: this group opened it eighteen times and bought twice, the morning status was opened forty-six times and bought three.

That is not a statistic about anyone else's business. It is a count of your own shares, and it tells you where to spend tomorrow's ten minutes.

Step by step

1. Start from the picture you already have. At 08:00 Hiruni opens Add a product and chooses to add from a picture. She picks the poster she made for Amber Night, the same one she will post on her status. It appears at the top of the screen, marked Your picture.

2. Let the AI read it. A line under the poster says "Filled in by AI from your picture". The Name field reads Amber Night. Under Sizes and prices there are two rows: 10ml at Rs 2,100 and 5ml at Rs 1,350.

3. Check the ringed field. The 5ml price is ringed with the hint "Check this one". The AI was less sure of that figure, perhaps because the poster's font was small. Hiruni looks at her poster, confirms Rs 1,350 is right, and moves on. If it had read Rs 1,850 by mistake, this is where she would fix it.

4. Save when it is right. The note above the button says it plainly: check the details, then save; nothing is saved until you do. She taps Save product. Amber Night is now on her shop link with both sizes.

5. Open Share for the product. At 08:10 she taps Share. The screen shows a tall status picture with her shop name, Amber Night, both sizes with their prices and a square code. Beside it a short note says what it holds, and the link it opens, ending in her shop name.

6. Say where the share is going. Under "Where is it going?" there are three choices: Status, Group and Other. This time she is sending it to her family group, so she picks Group and types the label Family group.

7. Send it. Share status picture sends the picture through WhatsApp; Message sends a written message with the link instead. Either way, the code in this share belongs to the Family group share, not to any other.

8. Read what earlier shares brought. At the bottom, "What your shares brought" lists her earlier shares. Morning status: 46 opened, 3 orders. Family group: 18 opened, 2 orders. She can now compare one with the other instead of guessing.

Two shares of the same product, side by side

The sums are simple: orders divided by opens. Three from 46 is about 6.5 per cent; two from 18 is about 11 per cent. A small group of people who know you often buys more per look than a status seen by many. That is worth knowing before deciding where to post next.

Tips for poster-to-product

• Keep your poster prices large and clear. The clearer the figures, the fewer ringed fields to check.
• Use the same size names on every poster, such as 5ml and 10ml. Buyers learn them, and your products stay consistent.
• Label each share with something you will recognise next week, like the group's name, not just "group 2".
• Share the same product to two places with two labels, then compare. One week of results teaches more than a month of guessing.
• Price each size on purpose. If the 5ml costs you more than half of the 10ml to fill and bottle, check that the smaller price still leaves a margin.

Common mistakes

Saving without reading the ringed field. The ring is there because the AI was unsure. A wrong price saved once ends up on the status picture and on the link, and the first buyer to order will hold you to it.

Reusing one share for everything. Forwarding the same message to five groups means all five use one code, and you lose the ability to tell them apart. Make a new share for each place.

Editing the poster but not the product. If you change a price on your poster, change it on the product too. The status picture made by Share uses the product's prices, so the two will disagree otherwise.

Judging a share in an hour. Status posts are seen over a whole day. Look at the opened and orders counts the next morning, not straight after posting.

What should you do next?

Wait for the orders. The next tour in Hiruni's day shows the other side: a buyer who saw the status opens the shop link, picks a size and places an order, and the WhatsApp message to Hiruni is already written for her.

The pricing guide is worth reading before you set prices for a new size, and the markup versus margin guide shows how to check each size still makes money after the bottle, the box and the delivery. The AI guide explains where tools like poster reading save time and where you still need to check the result.

How EasyTaskr helps

Add from a picture reads your poster into a product name and a price for each size, rings anything it is unsure of and saves nothing until you do. Share makes a status picture with a code that opens the product, and every share keeps its own count of opens and orders.
