    Invest on marketing and advertising. Online and ofline works fine.
    Make a facebook fan page and gain fans, than you have post ads.
    Make a twitter and get new followers. Then you can post ads there, too.
    Do the same with G+.

    You have to give in order to get.

    What marketing activities you have engaged? And if you can show us your online store, you will get more detailed suggestions. Have you used live chat software to your site? It enables you to engage visitors in real time and reach out them proactively, which will help you improve sales conversion. If not, you may try Comm100 Live Chat.http://www.comm100.com/livechat/

    From an eCommerce point of view, some ways to improve convergence on your site are...
    (1) Have a strong feedback rating
    (2) Research other sellers and see what they're doing for their eCommerce site
    (3) Focus on the title of the items you're selling (The right title is essential.)
    (4) Use descriptive words
    (5) Take good photos of the products you're selling
    (6) Analyze the pricing of your product compared to similar products
    (7) Time it right (when posting items on sites such as eBay)
    (8) Be fair with refunds
    (9) Think globally about your products. List the product on different countries' eCommerce sites

    I think the best way to increase sales is increasing the customers engagement. Think how many times you walk in a real store and you're welcomed by a nice and kind shop assistant, if he/she is capable enough you will walk out the store with at least two shopping bags ;)
    I think online is the same thing, I've seen eCommerce boost their sales after installing a Live Chat.
    You can get one for as low as £9.90 per month! You u want to try and see if your results will improve I suggest you the 30 days free trial of imlivehelp.com
    Good luck! :D

    What are you currently engaged at? And in your marketing, what are your call to actions? This should be clear, after all you want your users to do something on your website instead of just their visit. Make sure your call to action is clear, all buttons are attractive and your website's user navigation is easy.

    Sales is always a Serious Question and to answer that, we seriously need to start and think as a customer. On the internet space, your design, content, SEO and SOCIAL MEDIA -- they are your 'the sales people'. Invest in them, give them time and... you will never ever worry about 'sales or conversions'

    If you need help with understanding your 'Why Nots', pm me your website. I can run an analysis for you and tell you what's not working and what'd work for you.

    Think of potential business partnerships. For some it may sound cliche, but this is how big companies were made, by cooperating and getting support from others. Perhaps you could promote some other brand/product and get promotion of yours on their site. If you organise it well, you should be able to exchange promotion in a barter system.

    Have you ever tried adding Livechat Software to your website.
    This software helps you increase sales by interacting with your customers and also helps customers in recovering abandoned carts as well. Some of the service providers also offer multi-lingual chats if the user knows a different language.
    I know this guy who asked me to buy this service before when i was working at my previous employer.
    Check out their website, its http://www.webgreeter.com/

    This is a bit of a broad response, but a lot of the mentions of customer service in this thread are totally spot-on.

    Engaging with your customers is definitely one of the best ways to improve your conversion rate, and it dovetails nicely between both marketing and customer service.

    From a customer service angle, make sure your site and/or selling operation is as easy to use as possible. Figure out how to make returns a snap. Implement some form of the live chat that's been mentioned in this thread a few times already. When your site is easy to use and your selling operation is easy to deal with, people will be a lot more ready to spend their money with you.

    In terms of marketing, content is another really great way to engage with your audience/customer base. Look into good ways that you can produce interactive content for your site. Push out surveys. Ask people what they think, and take that feedback seriously. Don't be afraid to tell people that something new you're doing is based on their suggestions -- they love that stuff, and it shows that you, as a business owner, are about your clients.

    I suppose that a short way of saying some of this is to suggest that if you're getting a lot of traffic, but it's not converting...it might just be as simple as coming up with a clever or creative way to ask your potential customers why. Figure out what you can offer to make them happier, and then see what you can do to offer it.

    Hope this helps!

    You need to target people that are interested in your products. You can reach out to them through Facebook Ads. Facebook Ads can be great for targeting very specific people. If you don't want to spend money, try optimizing for more keywords or create social media accounts for the site.
