I want to open a international online shop on electronic products. I have good sources, but I really do not know how to promote it. I have found many comparison shopping engine online, such as nextag.com ,thefind.com and bizrate.com, I thought they will be helpful for me, but , most of them cost much, according to the click, similar with PPC. So, do you have any other ways to promote a new online shop, the products on it are cheap. Except forum, blog,articles. By the way, some online shopping habit is helpful for me. For example, if I want to buy a cell phone onine, I will go to ebay and tabao fisrt. What will you do firest?
Opening a gadgets store is a good idea, especially now that everyone's hyped with touch phones and so on... If you are planning to start your own website with an e-cart that customers can use to buy your products, it's a good idea. Promoting your gadgets store can be made possible using other ways such as Multiply Marketplace (where you have to sign up first as member), Social Networking sites (Facebook, Friendster, Myspace) and also by having a Twitter account (where you can post product updates for your clients to see). More power to your business!
Hoa, i think you should firstly try using opencart as it has features like you can use SEO keywords and meta tags on each and every product. this would help your site alot and could get you alot of customers, let me know if you want more info
Traffic suggestions for you: * Pay per click * Offline advertising * Article marketing * Newsletter * Auto responders * Word of mouth * Joint ventures / strategic partnerships * Talks to groups * Participation in online forums / discussion groups
You need to advertise your online shop using Adwords or other advertising companies. This way you can promote your shop. If you don't want to pay anything at the moment , you could add your site to directories, advertise them using email list, newsletter and local advertisement in your area.
Open up an affiliate program with a leading affiliate network and offer a datafeed of your product line. That may or hopefully should send some affiliates your way to help you sell your products. If you can't do that, then look into Googles shopping, I think that may be free to add your products, well it use to be. If you can't do that, then try and do SEO and get organic visitors which hopefully will buy your products.
If you know something about SEO you should try to promote your store on your own. Firstly use any open source shopping card like OSCOMMERCE. Do Onpage optimization of your site and promote your site by using article marketing, newsletter, forum posting, social networking, email marketing etc. and if you don't know SEO then its better to hire some SEO to promote your site for better result.
Just do everything you would for any other website. Write articles about electrical gadgets (or whatever you're selling), some for your site and some for article directories; submit links to a few good directories, especially electrical ones if you can find them; try some social bookmarking; create a facebook page and link it to your blog/shop rss feed so new products get posted to your page, like this http://www.facebook.com/thegadgetguru or this http://www.facebook.com/CoolestGadgets and pay Facebook for ads so your page gets plenty of fans; open a Twitter account for your store to make little announcments etc. Those should keep you busy for a while, well actually forever if you do it right.
This is a lot of work to do,I suggest you understanding google. Optimize your site. www dot ztoshop dot com
