1.Gift Guides

 What do you do while you’re struggling to find a good gift idea? If you’re like most people, you Google “holiday present thoughts for co-workers” or “unique birthday presents”. Then you scroll through the piles of gift guides that pop up in the search results.

Why not get your own product included in these gift guides? They exist for just about every industry, type of person, and holiday you can think of. Look for the lists that rank on the first few pages of Google and reach out to see if you can be included. They could drive a lot of traffic back in your store.

Remember, you need to provide a reason why you should be included. Mentioning your product and a repurposed product description at the list has to add fee to the author or editor of the post, so be sure to highlight what makes your product a distinct or unique addition to their current listing.

 

2.Email Marketing

Email is one of the most consistently effective channels for acquiring new customers. And while channels like search can take a while to start generating organic traffic, email marketing can start working right away. That’s why you should be using email to promote your o online store.

 3.Affiliate Programs

 Affiliate programs typically work via way of means of creating a custom URL for each person promoting your products. They can sharet heir link on social media, in a blog post reviewing your product, or even in a YouTube video in which they’re showing it off. Through the custom links, you’ll be able to track who is driving sales for you so you can compensate them.

A little bit of education is usually helpful if you plan on introducing affiliates. Remember: they’re promoting your products for you, so in some sense they’re handling a marketing function of your business. If you don’t offer best practices, they’ll make up their own.

4.Pinterest

 Pinterest is the place to be if you want to buy or sell products online. 93% of active pinners say they use Pinterest to devise purchases. Not surprisingly, many people use Pinterest to build wish lists. This makes it a great area to promote products—especially well-designed products that photograph well.

What’s even better is that pins tend to stick round for a long time. It’s not unusual for pins to get viewed for months after they’re posted. Optimize your pins by posting when more people are online, the usage of the right keywords, and using captivating images. You can even run contests to extend your reach.

Make sure you enable Rich Pins to have additional product information included.

 

5.Search Engine optimization

Although it takes a while to get going, search offers one of the few opportunities to build predictable, compounding web traffic.

An effective search strategy involves some of steps, from finding a domain name, forming a keyword strategy, to conducting more granular keyword research, to optimizing your site architecture and performance (e.g. category pages), to building links back to your website. Like I said, it’s an uphill battle, but it’s one you can fight in the background as your store starts to gain traction.
