 Before you set out to explore the online shopping market you
should do some planning, take a piece of paper and pen and
write down the steps that will help to bring in traffic to
your website.
And once they have visited you must have something to entice
them to remain and do some shopping, in our website:
www.shopshopshop.org We try to mix our affiliate, we have
some highly recognizable name and some not so well known.
One frequent complain we get is the cost of shipping, people
are willing to pay for convenience but they do not want to
pay for shipping, so we use the free shipping banners when
available.
And the great savings the affiliates are offering, this is a
lure to catch their attention, after all when people are
saving money and are provided with theconvenience of
shopping from the comfort of their home they are happy.
Step (1). Mix your affiliates you want some well known
names, but remember the well known retailer pay the lowest
commissions and are the most demanding.
Don?t settle for the first affiliates that accepts you, you
may start with a few, but if you build your site right some
of the affiliates that turn you down will revisit your site
and approve you.
Make sure to keep good records, and stay on top of the
affiliate emails to be able to use the incentives they
provide to induce people into buying the products your
affiliates are offering.
Develop a program where shoppers will provide their email
address so that you can inform them of future promotions and
savings available to them.
(2). Links are a way to have search engines give your site a
high ranking, reciprocal link exchange are a good way to get
started , many businesses are in the same position you are
in and are looking to link to somebody.
The more links you have leading to your site the better the
search engine will rank you. You may choose to pay for links
and here again make sure they are giving you good companies
to link with.
If you a have a family oriented business you don?t want to
be link to an adult site. You want sites that related your
business or are complimentary.
A example would be if you have a site that sells only
clothing you would like to link with a site that sells
jewelry or footwear.
(3). Keywords: key words play a crucial role in your
internet business, people must be able
to find you. Keywords are what people search for on search
engines.
People who have never heard of your company are not going to
look for youby name but they go on the search engine and
type in keywords to be let to a site that matches the
keywords provided.
If the keywords type in relate to the keywords on your site
then you will getcustomer to come and visit your site, and
hopefully buy something.
You will want to have as many combination of keywords as
possible in order to drive web traffic to your site, Make
sure you have the most popular search terms and use as many
as possible.
Keywords is the key to traffic and traffic the key to sales,
when your web page comes up near the top ten in response to
a searches on searche engines , your traffic will increase
and so will your sales.
(4). Contacts: everybody knows somebody so start using the
those contacts to promote your business, but do so in a
tactful manner so that people are not turn off by your
aggressiveness.
Giving somebody a business card and asking them to checkout
your website might be a very soft sell that might lead to
conversation about your business and help you gain a
potential customer.
Just think of all the people that you come in contact with
on a daily basis, by themselves it will not be enough to
make a fortune but added to the other marketing results it
could make your business venture a profitable one.
(5). Incentives: Offer businesses incentives to continuously
use your site for their purchases, businesses expend
thousands of dollars every month on office products and
other essential items for their businesses but get nothing
in return, so offer them some kind of rebate or free items
for purchasing through your site.
Offering a free gift for individual is also a good policy
but make sure that it is contingent on purchases being made
so that you don?t attract all the freeloaders.
Everybody shops the question is where? Your job is to make
sure they do it on your site. Or preferably at
