To get the first 100 orders for a new online shop in Bangladesh, start with a small range of products you can deliver well, make one clear landing page, sell to the people who already know you, then run a small Facebook or TikTok campaign and call every order before sending it. The first 100 orders are less about luck and more about doing the basics every day. This guide gives a step-by-step plan.
Written by the Sellsull team, October 2026. Results vary by product, price and effort; this is a plan, not a guarantee.
Step 1: Pick 1 to 5 products, not 50
A new shop sells faster with a few strong products than with a large catalogue. Choose products that:
- solve a clear problem or look good in a short video,
- are light and do not break in delivery,
- leave enough profit after courier, returns and ad cost.

Step 2: Set up a shop people trust
Customers who don't know you look for signs that you are real. Before spending on ads, make sure you have:
- clear product photos (a smartphone is enough: product photography tips),
- the price and the delivery charge shown clearly,
- a phone number, a Facebook page link and a simple return policy,
- an easy order form with cash on delivery.
On Sellsull, the free Starter plan lets you open a shop with up to 10 products, which is enough for this stage. A custom domain and tracking tools such as the Facebook Pixel are on paid plans. How it works: what is Sellsull.
Step 3: Get the first 10 orders from people who know you
Your first orders are the easiest. Share the shop with friends, family, classmates, colleagues and local groups. Ask them honestly to order if the product is useful, and to leave a review after delivery. These first reviews and photos make the next 90 orders easier. On Sellsull, customers can leave reviews with photos, and you approve them before they appear: product reviews.
Step 4: Post content every day
- Post on your Facebook page daily: product videos, packing videos, customer feedback.
- Short videos on TikTok and Reels reach new people for free. Put the shop link in your profile: selling from TikTok.
- Reply to every comment and message quickly. A late reply is often a lost order.
Step 5: Run one small, focused ad campaign
When your page and shop look ready, run one Sales campaign with a small daily budget, sending people to a product landing page, not your home page. Set a maximum ad cost per order before you start, and judge the campaign after 5 to 7 days.

- Landing page: how to build a landing page for Facebook ads
- Tracking: Pixel and Conversions API setup
Step 6: Confirm every order and deliver fast
For a new shop, every returned parcel hurts. Call each customer before sending, confirm the address and the total, and ship within a day. A short script helps: order confirmation call script. Connect a courier so you can send orders in one click: courier integration. To stop fake orders early, read how to stop fake COD orders.
Step 7: Recover the orders you almost lost
Many visitors start the order form and leave. Sellsull keeps these as incomplete orders with the phone number the customer typed, so you can call and help them finish. Guide: recover incomplete orders.
Step 8: Turn buyers into repeat buyers
A happy customer is the cheapest next order. Put a thank-you note in the parcel, follow up after delivery, and offer a small coupon for the next purchase. More ideas: customer retention strategies.
A simple 30-day plan
| Days | Focus | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 5 | Products, photos, shop setup, prices | Shop ready |
| 6 to 10 | Friends, family, local groups, first reviews | First 10 orders |
| 11 to 20 | Daily posts and videos, one small ad campaign | Orders every day |
| 21 to 30 | Keep the best ad, improve the page, follow up buyers | Toward 100 orders |
Some shops reach 100 orders in a week, others take two or three months. Real examples from Sellsull shops: Daily Shop and NM Fashion.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get the first 100 orders?
It depends on the product, price, content and ad budget. With a good product and daily effort, many shops get there within one to three months.
Can I get orders without paying for ads?
Yes, from people who know you, daily posts and short videos. Ads speed it up once your page and product are proven.
Should I start with a website or only a Facebook page?
A Facebook page brings attention; a website makes ordering easy and lets you track ads properly. Many sellers use both. See Facebook page to online store.
How many products should a new shop have?
Start with 1 to 5 products you can deliver well. Add more once those sell steadily.
What should I do if the ads bring no orders?
Check the product, the price and the landing page first. If people click but don't order, the page or the offer is usually the problem, not the ad.
