[connor15]

I can generate about 100 store visitors a day via Snapchat, Pinterest and Tiktok, but it costs alot of money. Are there any other ways I can get traffic to my store?

My store is www.skinandslimbody.com.

Thank you.

You will get less sales and traffic if your products are not found on Google.

Hi there, thank you for leaving the store URL so we can check it out and give out some suggestions.

Below are some tactics you can consider using:

1. Try to list down some popular topics revolve around your products/ niches/ industries and write blog posts about them
In order to do this, you can start by browsing some popular communities or famous social accounts/ KOLs to see their most-read/ most-viewed topics (people also tend to ask and search for those topics on Google). Then categorize and pick some general keywords for those chosen topics. After you have all those keywords in one place, we suggest using keyword tools to re-check their search volumes, explore more potential keywords. The remained job that you need to do is to write, post on your website and keep optimizing them.

2. Be present on all social media sites, but stay focused on the most suitable and beneficial platforms
We can see that you're selling skin care products and Instagram might be the place you can start investing your resources in (you only mention Snapchat, TikTok and Pinterest so we assume that you've not tried Instagram). We suggest that you keep the Instagram account regularly updated with beneficial contents for customers, also stick to the neat, clean and professional brand image (since you're selling skincare products) if possible. Then on the bio don't forget to link your website URL.

3. Asides from generating traffic, pay much attention to your landing page
Your website has a persistent color palette and we appreciate that. It gives off a comfortable feeling for customers when visiting a skincare website. However, after pulling traffic to the website, you need to pay attention to improving some details that could decide whether visitors would stay or not:

a) Sticky menu bar: you could modify a bit with the menu bar since as of now, visitors can't navigate to anywhere they want while visiting your site. This would affect their experience a lot.

b) Social proof/ Previous buyers' reviews section: visitors tend to look for previous buyers' opinions/ feedbacks/ reviews, and most of visitors will browse through homepage and product page first so this section should be added and placed right in Homepage, product page and other pages if possible. Your website doesn't have this section so you can consider adding one. You can start figuring out the most prominent way to add a social proof section using Ali Reviews - a review platform. Add more reviews of previous buyers to increase the trust of your website is a very needed step.

c) Showcase collections: it says "Skin and Slim body" so we suggest you can add two basic collections first, "For Skin" and "For Body" and show them off right in Homepage, which provides visitors more options to choose from while navigating through your website.

We think those are the most important things to take note when you're trying to aim for a free-traffic marketing plan. Long story short, besides running advertising, you can start building a SEO strategy to get more traffic for your store. Please keep in mind that it might take some times to see the effect when you choose to go with SEO since it's cost-effective, very powerful in the long run yet quite time-consuming. Then, be persistent and always-on on social media so customers get used to your presence. Lastly, don't forget to improve and update your website (add sticky menu bar, update new reviews from buyers, add new collections etc) every now and then to increase your conversion rate. Hope this helps!

Hi, hope everything is going well with you and your store! 

@AliReviews provided you with some good observations and suggestions. I totally agree with writing blog posts on popular topics revolving around products/ niches/ industries. It is an effective way to reach out to more potential customers because every time you publish a blog post, you have a greater chance of showing up on the search engine results page. Thus, more traffic will come to your site through your blog. 

Regularly updating your site content can help attract store visitors. You must consistently update your site with new content and information that persuades people to purchase from you if you want to keep visitors coming to it and ensure that they stay. Even after they've already made a purchase, this method of consistently upgrading your material offers a means to entice visitors to return to discover what else they may learn. 

Something that will also help with generating traffic is retargeting campaigns. Retargeting offers a technique to keep your business at the forefront of customers' minds even after they leave your website. With retargeting, an online advertisement for your company effectively follows them to other pages. Your past website visitors can consider you while purchasing by seeing your retargeting ads, which constantly remind you of your offerings and value proposition.

Hope it helps you out and boosts your store visitors!

you can also try social selling. it helps a lot to maximize your marketing funnel. 

It is important not to confuse selling on social media with social media marketing and advertising. Social selling means direct and personal interaction with customers via their social media activity to create a sense of credibility and establish a relationship. Social media marketing, on the other hand, means conducting promotional activities using the company’s social media accounts and building brand awareness that way.
