Promoting your store

Hi everyone,

I have my store all set up and it looks nice but I am struggling to get any views (never mind sales, at this point sales are a pipe dream). I promote on Facebook, Insta and a few other places but it is exhausting and I work full time too.

I am seriously considering hiring someone but I don’t know how. Does anyone else pay to promote? Who do you use? Is it worth it? Do you approach bloggers or other “influencers” and ask for thier help? What do you do please because I cannot keep up with all the promotion.

You have a very impressive number of FB page likers… how long have you had your page to get so many ?

I used to write a blog about parenting and the art we did together. One of my posts went viral and about 6000 followers came from that.

Wow that must have been brilliant.

Hi @Heart2Art

I had few views or sales when I first started out, but once I started plugging away on FB on a regular basis I started to get more people interested and things have gradually improved. I’m by no means a mega-seller as the day job gets in the way, but I do enough to fund my hobbies.

You have some very nice products in your shop but I did notice that you don’t always show their dimensions - it’s sometimes difficult to see how big / small it is.

I have also had good feedback on the descriptions I use for my products - I try to tell how they are made and why I made them, even mistakes made along the way.

I’m not an expert in this, so I can only go on my experience

Good luck for the future :slight_smile:
