How to Attract More Shoppers to My Online Handmade Accessories Store

kim1978 · 07-10-2009, 05:58 PM

Hi,

I am currently running an online store Kimiso, selling handmade fashion accessories with products ranging from bracelets, rings, earrings, bags, etc.

But sales have not been ideal.

Are there any proven successful techniques to share in this forum?

Cheers

Hi Kim,
What is your website?

I also run a couple of online shops, eg:

http://www. naturalsoapbox.com/

http://www. thinkjoy.com/

Some sales but not enough

You can advertise to get started, but remember to check on your ROI (Return of Investment). You can try google adwords.

Please remember that if you advertise $100 and only manage to get $50, you make a lost.

Furthermore, many advertising platforms are occupied by giant companies which have unlimited budget for branding. Competing with them will surely kill your business.

In the long run, organic search engine placement is the only answer.

thanks for sharing. So I guess i am not alone.

i suppose you do need a retail presence to get things moving... else you will be stuck with stock. My site is www.vivajasy.weebly.com. Looking for sites to exchange links.

Gmarket is total free, and can put up to 1 year, unless you sell something then hav to pay 12%.

They might not buy from you at first but sure will check you out.

Once you have some ROI then you can ads any where as you please.
