Founder Updates - Dec 13, 2024
A banner week
Hi all,
Welcome to the 83 people who’ve signed up since we last sent this newsletter. We’re excited you’re here! We are Chris and James, the founders of Lyric, and we send out these updates weekly. If you’re new here, you can read why we started Lyric.
Here’s what is happening…
COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER
Wow, this was the biggest sales week by far. We absolutely love getting your updates in our inboxes, and it’s so exciting to see that all the hard work of posting updates and sending emails is paying off — your customers are excited to be buying great products from you this holiday season!
WHAT SHIPPED
Community on Upgrade, part 2
Following from last week’s update: we have continued to build out community hubs as a core concept on Lyric. You can see a few on the Lyric homepage, as an example.
Each storefront now supports a rich community page, and you as a store owner have some more robust tools for inviting others into and curating your community. Head over to your community page to dive in.
One Easter Egg - when you favorite a product from another seller in your community, those favorited products will show up first on your community page.
Discounts 💥
Highly requested feature! You can now set discounts for your store. These can be applied to all the products in your store, or just products matching a certain product tag. Discounts are scoped to end on a certain day/time, so you can set up exactly when your customers should see the discounted prices. Lyric will show the appropriate discounted prices on all store pages and email newsletters.
More to come with discounts, but we’re excited the first version is up and running!
When you’re ready, set up your first discount.
UPDATE OF THE WEEK
We’ve had the good fortune of seeing Ann’s work in person — great, high quality work. Here’s her post from Cute AF this week. Subscribe!
It’s been a wild week for sales. We’re so happy to see the orders come in, and we’re doing our best to keep up on this end. Until next time!
