My shop has been open for a while, but I barely get any traffic and no sales. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Hi, @stylecolumn !
My name is Lilith, I’m on the Social Care team at Shopify.
From your question, I don’t have any reference to the following areas regarding your efforts or business:
- What your site is about
- Business mission/values
- Brand story/identity
- What the products/services are
- Site aesthetics
- Customer base/target
- Marketing strategy
- Social presence
- Other details
However, I can provide some general tips and advice on how to successfully run a business and develop strong entrepreneurship skills.
I’ve included links above in the list to help you determine and work on your business objectives and strategies. Remember that you own your business and are now a new entrepreneur. Take your time to go through each step and give your business a great solid foundation so that it can grow long term.
Here are a couple of additional resources that can help you out after you work through the first list above:
- Starting a New Business? Here’s What to Expect
- Need a Roadmap? Here’s How to Write a Business Plan You’ll Actually Use
- Shopify Community guidelines/tips on how to get effective feedback on your store
Let me know how you do with the information above! I’m happy to answer any questions you think of as you work on your business.
Hi, @stylecolumn,
You need to do marketing to drive traffic to your store!
Just an idea, but have you considered running a giveaway to try and drum up users? Giveaways can be an awesome, low-cost way to gain more website visitors on your store. You can build out email marketing lists for your store, and send them special offers after signing up.
You can run a giveaway really easily with this app: https://apps.shopify.com/run-viral-contests-giveaways
