    Try selling on Amazon and target the US Market. Would be the best way to test the waters.

    As far as your website goes, I would highly recommend opting for a Responsive Web Design. Having a website that's not mobile-friendly could really work against you since, in the US, the number of mobile-only users exceeds the number of desktop-only users.

    Thank you for your reply.
    We decided to launch a shop. At the moment we don't want to sell on Amazon.(there are different reasons)
    So my question is more how to promote our shop?
    For example with Facebook ads?

    Great!

    Yes, Facebook advertising is one way you can promote your shop. Done right, Facebook advertising is very effective. Another way, which many popular foreign retailers do, is reaching out to popular bloggers/vloggers and offering a pair of slippers in exchange for an honest, published review.

    Yes, that will be the nect step, we want to try.
    We want to check our service and if payment works in every country and every state well.
    We call it "Mission Impossible" because it is not so easy to sell boiled wool slippers to Africa,
    (similar to sell a refrigurator to an eskimo)
    So we want to search for pilot-customers in every part of the world, to test our shop.
    First mover will get the half price and after review (delivery time and pic with the slippers) the opportunity for secound deal with half price.
    Yesterday we got the first response from Australia ( it took only 5 days by Air parcle)
    How we can get good hubs in USA, or find blogger who are interessted?
