How to Get Your First 100 Orders on Your Bangladesh Ecommerce Website
You launched your website. Now what? Getting the first 100 orders is the hardest milestone — after that, word of mouth takes over. Here is the exact playbook.
Step 1 — Start With People Who Already Trust You (Days 1–7)
Message every contact in your phone. Tell them your site is live. Offer a 10–15% launch discount for the first week. Your friends and family are your first customers — do not skip this step out of embarrassment.
Step 2 — WhatsApp Broadcast (Days 1–14)
Create a WhatsApp broadcast list of everyone you know. Send product photos with your website link. WhatsApp has 95%+ open rates in Bangladesh — far better than email or ads.
Step 3 — Facebook Page Content (Week 1–4)
- Post 2 times a day: product photos, customer reviews, behind-the-scenes
- Use Reels/short video — the algorithm pushes these for free
- Run a giveaway: "Share this post and tag a friend to win [product]"
Step 4 — Facebook Ads — ৳500/day Budget
Even with ৳500/day you can reach 5,000–10,000 targeted people in Dhaka. Target by age, interest, and behaviour. Test 3 different ad creatives and keep the winner.
Step 5 — Pathao and SteadFast for Fast Delivery
Fast delivery = 5-star reviews = more orders. Set up Pathao and SteadFast accounts before you launch. Promise next-day delivery inside Dhaka.
Step 6 — Ask for Reviews After Every Order
Send a WhatsApp message after delivery: "Hope you love your [product]! Please leave us a Google review — it helps us a lot." Paste the Google Review link. Reviews build trust that converts the next 100 customers.
Timeline to 100 Orders
Most businesses reach 100 orders in 30–60 days if they follow these steps consistently. The key is showing up every day. Do not wait for the perfect post — post now.
