Hi i’m in UAE and instagram shop and tiktok shop are not allowed so how can i advertise my shopify shop to get real sales?
If you can’t use Instagram or Tiktok shop, I’d recommend just starting out with creating organic content for people in your niche instead.
I know ads can get you faster results but since you seem like you have some money to spend, you can pay for tools or freelancers to help test out different content ideas and angles for your niche.
Someone else asked about how they can get traffic to their store and this is what I told them:
In my opinion, the best way to start with this is to take a step back and ask yourself what kind of problem you’re trying to solve with your store.
I don’t know what your niche is but think about some potential problems it has and how you can solve them.
It helps if you have some experience with the problem yourself but if you don’t just do some research on different online groups like subreddits and facebook groups.
Once you know what problem you want to solve for people in your niche you can start marketing to attract customers.
Your marketing can be as simple as you just starting a Instagram account or YouTube channel talking about your experience with whatever problem you’re trying to solve.
If you prefer written content instead you could write blog posts about the problem you’re solving and share them in online groups.
Try your best to be genuine and actually talk about potential solutions to the problem in your content.
Also share relatable stories about how the problem has impacted your life and what helped you get through it.
And please don’t push your products too much at this point. You can mention it but you don’t want to sound too sale-sy.
I think a good strategy could be to make some content to get people to know your store exists and you’re trying to solve “this particular problem”. As a call to action try to get them to join an email list. When building offer something for free that can help people solve a problem in your niche.
Focusing on building an email list is a great way to engage people in your audience and connect with them before asking for a sale.
Plus they can help give you feedback on your website and help improve your messaging and overall site experience.
And as you send emails to them, you can promote your products.
In general a good guideline to follow would be to promote your products or ask your audience for feedback in 1 out of every 5 emails.
It might seem like a drag to focus on making content and building a list but it’ll be a powerful asset for you once you figure out how to do it in a way that works for you and your brand.
Now once you have an email list that is growing, you can start promoting your products to get your first sale.
And once you do get it, reach out to the customer that bought from you and ask for feedback and possibly a review.
Rinse a repeat that strategy until you’re able to get consistent sales.
Overtime you’ll begin to collect reviews and start to get sales without people having to join your list first.
Let me know if my response to this was helpful and if it wasn’t and you’re sure you want to run ads for your brand, you can look into other ad platforms your customers might be on or reach out to online groups that are in your niche and ask the owner of the group if you can pay for a sponsored post to promote your store in the group.
Let me know what you think about all this.
Yes it was helpful thank you
