    You need to get lots of traffic! Create a Fan Page on Facebook, make it pretty, proffesional and fill it with posts about your products and spacial offers. promote your page in groups, promote it with small amounts of money for start.. Tag people in your posts etc. Good Luck!

    Also make sure you don't lose any potential customers. A good way to do that is using an exit-intent popup service like OptiMonk or Bounce Exchange. OptiMonk is going to open their free beta registration soon, and it will be priced between $19 - $149 while Bounce Exchange costs $3,995 a month. Both services are great in my opinion!

    I suggest you to try OptiMonk first because it's free for a while.

    Tdavis is right. You need more traffic. One great way to get traffic is to start selling on online marketplaces. The advantage here is that these marketplaces already have traffic and buyers who purchase goods every day! When you ship a product, include a card or flyer directing the buyer to your own Website for future sales. As I've said before, I've known several e-commerce entrepreneurs who used this strategy to grow from nothing to over $1mil in annual sales in five years.

      I would start by making sure that registration on your site is seriously as easy as you can possibly make it.

      Social Login is probably the best method for doing this right now. Give your site's visitors the option to login using their Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ accounts. It's important to also include an option to login via good, old-fashioned email. Not everyone is socially plugged in.

      For those who are plugged into one of those social networks, though, signing up just became that much easier. Not having to type anything or fill out a bunch of forms to register for a site is a huge bonus to those surfing the Internet. When people can register simply by clicking an "Accept" button in a Facebook window, it's a feeling similar to getting something for free. It's nice, and easy.

      Other than that, I would consider a content marketing campaign. Start a blog. Do a bit of market research and find out where your target audience hangs out, in terms of social media. Do your best to create and curate content that reaches out to your audience and your potential audience in a creative, refreshing way.

    • To increase registrations and signups, you have to make the signup process at easy as possible. Research says that around 70 percent people leave the site when asked to fill the long signup form!
    • Make sure that your site loads quick. No loves a slow website.
    • Make sure that Signup button/banner is clearly visible and attractive enough to catch clicks.
    Personally I have found that adding social log-in helps a lot. I have tried LoginRadius and it works well. Links : http://www.loginradius.com/social-login

    Hope this helps
