Hello @Getactiveegoodz,

I am Gina from flareAI app helping Shopify merchants get $6Million+ in sales from Google Search, on autopilot.

Here are my suggestions.

1) Optimize your product pages
Enhance your product pages by optimizing them with compelling product descriptions, high-quality product images, and genuine customer reviews.

2) Harness the power of email marketing
Utilize email marketing as an effective tool to engage both current and potential customers, keeping them informed about special offers, new product launches, and more.

3) Maximize the potential of social media
Leverage popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to expand your reach, connect with new customers, and foster relationships with existing ones.

4) Drive sales with enticing discounts and promotions
Boost sales by regularly offering attractive discounts and promotions that incentivize customers to make purchases and take advantage of limited-time offers.

5) Deliver exceptional customer service
Prioritize delivering outstanding customer service to ensure a positive experience for your customers, fostering loyalty and generating positive word-of-mouth.

6) Invest in search engine optimization (SEO)
Invest in optimizing your website for search engines to increase visibility in search results, making it easier for potential customers to discover your products and website.

7) Create a rewarding loyalty program
Establish a loyalty program that incentivizes repeat purchases, rewards customer loyalty, and encourages customers to continue supporting your business.

Remember that generating sales takes time and effort. Be patient, learn from your experiences, and keep refining your marketing strategies to improve your chances of success.

Hope this helps

Gina

I agree with the rest of the points in this thread, I would only add this:

since you mention promoting your site on two different channels, I think you should do more digging into the various cross-channel marketing strategies. Having a unified approach to how you present your brand on various socials and email campaigns is something that's easy to neglect. Yet, I found that the cross-channel aspect is pivotal for the success of any effective multi-channel marketing strategy. So, the two terms are not synonyms: it's more about how the SEO game evolved over the years. In essence, cross-channel marketing is about knowing how to collect accurate data about customer behavior before properly utilizing it in several micro funnels. Here's a good article for this process. 

On the same note, consider implementing personalized messaging in your outreach rotation - it's a great conversion method and helps with retargeting as well. The goal is to keep on supplying your customer base with fresh, relevant content that they wouldn't mind checking, even if just for entertainment purposes.
