I would like to share a few suggestions while going through your question. I hope my tips will help you provide the solution you are looking for.

Promoting your Shopify store better is the key to driving traffic, boosting sales, and maximizing your return on investment. You have to convert the traffic to sales. You can do this through many strategies.

  1. Start a content marketing program
    You can promote your store through articles or blog posts, videos, podcasts, and other forms of digital content.
  2. Email campaigns
    An email campaign is a sequence of marketing efforts that contacts multiple recipients at once. Email campaigns are designed to reach out to subscribers at the best time and provide valuable content and relevant offers. Using email campaigns allows you to build deep and trusting relationships with your customers. An effective email campaign will help in gather data about subscribers, provide valuable content to customers, encourage customer engagement, drive conversion and increase site traffic, get helpful feedback from customers and build a customer loyalty program. Email campaign includes welcome email, newsletters, transactional emails, etc.
  3. Affiliate marketing
    Affiliate marketing is a reward-based system that encourages partners to promote your products in exchange for a commission. Anyone can sign up to be an affiliate, though. An affiliate signs up for your affiliate program and sends visitors to your Shopify store through their special referral link, and any sales that you make as a result of their promotion earns the marketer a reward.
  4. Integrate Instagram
    For eCommerce marketing, adding products to your Instagram posts and stories gives your followers a direct path to purchase, which is key for increasing your online sales.
  5. Remind abandoned cart customers
    With abandoned cart emails, you can remind your customers of the items they expressed interest in and then left your store with no intention of returning. You can do this from your store Settings > Checkout > Abandoned Cart section > Choose to send abandoned cart emails either one, six, 10, or 24 hours after a customer abandons a cart.
  6. Posting on social media can be a good way to promote your online store and connect with customers. You can create social media accounts for your business to help build your brand, improve your SEO, and increase traffic to your store.
  7. Make sure your store is mobile-friendly
    Over 54% of all web traffic comes from smartphones and tablets, so make sure your store is mobile-friendly.

It is an amazing strategy for gaining visibility for your brand and ultimately increasing sales without having to rely so heavily on doling out money for a large marketing budget. You will get more organic sales when your products are found on free sales channels like Google Search and you will start getting order conversions for virtually zero cost. flareAI works every day for you, tapping into Google Search and 20+ of world’s best & biggest free sales channels.
