Did you assume that sales would come rolling in once you set up your virtual storefront? People can’t just magically sense that you’re ready to sell them the product or service they’ve been looking for. You need a\u00a0proactive strategy to drive traffic<\/a>\u00a0to your “door” and convert viewers to customers.<\/p>\n

Your marketing plan doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Once you get people to your site, their activities will let you know if anything needs to be tweaked or revised. Here are some tested methods for driving traffic, moving from basic to more sophisticated.<\/p>\n

Take Advantage of Free Networking Channels<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Spread the word about your business to all your contacts via email and social media accounts. Even if your friends and family don’t make a purchase, they can share a link with members of their network which can be just as valuable.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Share a link to your store in online forums and communities where your target audience is likely to congregate. Offering discount codes will pique interest and help you track where the customers are coming from.<\/p>\n

Create Paid Advertising Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Online advertising is more cost-effective than you may think. Most channels charge per click only, and you can get started for as little as $10.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Each platform has its own pros and cons. Do your research and choose ones that are likely to attract your target market.<\/p>\n

Tap Into Existing Audiences<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Develop synergy through strategic partnerships with companies that are non-competitive but have overlapping target bases.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reach out to bloggers who may be receptive to writing a review or news story highlighting your product or service. Another possibility is writing guest blogs to position yourself as an expert in your field.<\/p>\n

The best marketing programs are fluid, not static. Using these methods will give you solid feedback you can use to evaluate and refine strategies.<\/p>\n
