I thought it was fine

"Fine" is how you go bankrupt. There is way too much competition out there for 'fine' to be enough.
Fun fact, the word "fine" means "the end" in Italian.
Also: "thin", "elegant", "goal".
Is that from a fortune cookie?

How many many Japanese candies by mail services are there, not a lot of competition here ;-)

Sorry for the double reply but I can't edit my previous anymore. I just saw an ad for a "TokyoTreat" while on Facebook too
I think you might have searched for that or "Japan"?

I've never seen any of those.

I'm always seeing ads for Japan Crate on Facebook. If it weren't for HN posts I'd have never heard of Candy Japan.
For an indie effort on a limited budget it was fine. I got the point. I don't need to see the actual candy. If you don't already get the idea of weird candy from other countries not sure illuminating it more would make much difference. If it were me I would have invested a bit more to make 1 or 2 remixes of the ad content to see if one had more traction than the other. But yes, I'm not a successful web marketer.
