Running an online store is not always easy. The Storenvy marketplace can help drive traffic and sales to your shop but it isn't a magic bullet.
Here are a few suggestions for simple things you can do to increase the success of your store yourself:
- Take better photographs - When a customer can't touch your products or see them in-person, your photographs become the most important way for a shopper to see what they're buying. At a bare minimum, make sure they are clear, in-focus, and in good light.
- Take more photographs - We allow you 10 photographs per item and you should aim to use every one. Even the most simple product can probably be photographed from 2 different angles and you can always take a picture showing the product in use or in the setting the buyer would put it.
- Optimize your descriptions, title, tags etc. so search engines can find your products more easily.
- Market your store on free social media channels - An active presence on one or more social sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram, can make a huge difference to the number of visitors to your store if you do it right. Choose the platform(s) depending on what fits your target market best.
- Be selective in what you sell - Too much choice actually means a shopper is less likely to buy as customers are expecting to see a store that specializes in a certain type of product. If your products don't fit a clear brand or category, shoppers will doubt the integrity of your items.
