Advice needed for new Webstore

3 replies
I have joined this forum recently and am in awe of the wealth of information that this contains.
I am not a very active member , as far as posts are concerned, I am still browsing around the forum and trying to digest all the info that it contains.

I own a couple of fashion jewelry stores and just recently I have launched my fashion jewelry website.
The products are in the medium price range €20-75€ and we hold nearly all the products physically in our stores.

As of today, zero sales, that was excepted by me before I launched the website due to the fact that getting traffic take time.
Just recently I have outsourced the SEO to a company and I expect to see some results in a couple of months.
I am thinking about outsourcing the social media also, any ideas , tips would be grealty appreciated.
My question to this forum and its experts is , I was thinking about getting some affialiates through companies such as Shareasale , Commision Junction etc. Do you guys think that its possible for such a young company Online to get affiliates with no sales yet?
Got to mention that the commision structure would be pretty high in the region of 20%-30%.

Any other ideas for traffic would be great.

    I would start promoting high priced products and jewelleries as well since this is the internet and the world is your audience.

    Its easier to make higher sales with expensive products and will make your business scale faster.

    I would also do youtube vids reviewing some of your products to gather more traffic.

    Traffic comes from everyewhere!

    You definitely need hordes of traffic to make any significant figures. Or your product needs to be unique like something unique as local product etc ... my opinion.

    First thing is traffic would automatically come up with some sort of effort. And coming to the affiliate stuff, I would say that at this very initial stage I would not prefer to go with the same. Rather getting a genuine sort of traffic and again after that focusing on the affiliate marketing would really shine up the marketing approach.

    But coming to the traffic part Social media is one of the best platform and I would suggest you to go ahead with the same so that some boost in the traffic would really rise up.
