How to drum up business without emptying the wallet

Howdy,

We are a small Virtual Business Support company and I am trying to reach out to those that have online stores that may need help uploading products, especially with the shopping holiday season around the corner. I have tried searching the internet but I can't seem to find the "proper" place to advertise our holiday specials. I want to concentrate on those using Shopify for either store or drop shipping. Preferably those on the smaller side, maybe under 10,000 products. The kicker is we don't have much money for advertising but if I can get a point in the right direction on how to find these stores that would be an excellent start.

    You can try instagram marketing. Is a great place for free or cheap way to gain customers

    Content marketing and blogging are usually the most cost-effective marketing methods.

    Because you have a very specific target "Shopify Stores" you can do a simple Google search " inurl:.myshopify.com " and this will only display shopify stores in the search listings.

    I would create a letter who you are, what you do, and a link to your site... I would pull up the above mentioned search result, and start clicking on sites, going to the contact us page, and sending that message in e-mail. Back out and goto the next and the next and the next.

    And the KICKER.. no money, and only time.

    Best of Luck!
