    Greetings! I'm new to e-commerce and I have a website where I have products from a shop that I'm selling online and shipping worldwide. My shop mainly deals with Vintage Fashion Products, Art Products and Jewelry Products. Nonetheless, I've had this business for a while now, about two years, but no sales through the site. What's the best way to market my website so people can visit and buy products from it?

    Get onto social media - particularly instagram and promote the items you have in stock but in a fun way so that people don't feel they are being sold to.

    Look at the way you photograph and describe your items on your site too.

    Okay. I've tried Instagram but didn't have any luck. Thing is that I have a website and all the products are listed there. What I need is more people to click and buy from the site.

    But you have to drive traffic. Advertising obviously, but back it up with the free methods. Pop over to the reviews section and get a review of your site and your insta account. There may be some easy tweaks.

    Native ads are great for e-commerce because they look like part of the website, so people don’t find them annoying. This platform is good choice and can bring targeted traffic to the store, which helps increase sales.

    i don’t know your budget, but here are some low-cost/free ideas:
    • etsy forums – engage in discussions and drop your link when relevant.
    • facebook groups – join vintage fashion/jewelry groups; share tips and link your store.
    • pinterest trends – use it to find trending keywords and tailor your pins.
    • tiktok lives – show behind-the-scenes content to engage viewers.
    • small bloggers – connect with them for backlinks in exchange for features.

    Hey there Brother Alameen!

    It sounds like you’ve built an amazing shop, and I’m excited to help you get more eyes (and buyers!) on your products. You've already been told to improve your SEO, so let me share some additional ideas to help you drive the right kind of traffic and boost your sales.

    Here are six ideas that should help:

    1. Get Active on Social Media
    I think platforms like Instagram and Pinterest could be game changers for you. Both are super visual, which is perfect for showing off your vintage fashion, art, and jewelry. Post beautiful, styled photos of your products, and don’t forget to use relevant hashtags to reach more people. Instagram Stories and Reels are also great for showing behind-the-scenes peeks or sharing how people can use your products.

    Another idea is to collaborate with micro-influencers in the vintage or art niche. They don’t need to have huge followings, just engaged ones who might love what you offer!

    2. Join Online Communities
    Get involved in forums and groups where people already share your passion for vintage fashion, jewelry, and art. Reddit has some awesome communities (like r/VintageFashion) where you can join in on conversations and, when the time is right, mention your shop. Just be helpful first, and the sales will follow.

    3. Start Email Marketing
    Do you have a mailing list? If not, no worries—now’s the perfect time to start one! Offer people something in exchange for their email—maybe a small discount or a cool guide on styling vintage clothing. Then, you can send them updates, new product drops, or even fashion inspiration. Personalized emails can do wonders to keep your shop in their minds.

    4. Try Paid Ads
    If you haven’t done this yet, Facebook and Instagram ads can really help you reach people who love what you’re selling. You can target people based on their interests (vintage fashion lovers, art collectors, etc.) and even specific locations. Google Shopping Ads are another great option to get your products in front of potential buyers when they’re already searching for items like yours.

    5. Create Great Content
    Think about starting a blog or YouTube channel! You could share posts about vintage fashion trends, how to care for vintage jewelry, or even give some behind-the-scenes looks at your creative process. Not only will this draw people to your site, but it’ll also show them the personality behind the products, which helps build trust.

    Create a flipbook (Lookbooks) with images and content about your products. You can share it on social media or send it to your email list.

    6. Run Special Promotions
    Everyone loves a good deal, right? Running a flash sale or offering a limited-time discount could help create a sense of urgency. You could even try offering free shipping for a limited time, especially since you ship worldwide. A referral program could also work wonders—offer existing customers a discount if they refer someone new who makes a purchase.

    I know it can feel overwhelming sometimes, but start with a couple of these ideas and see how they work for you.
    With some consistency and the right audience, your shop will start seeing the love it deserves!

    All the best,
    Helene
