Promote Your Kidzola Store
Below are helpful tips to promote your Kidzola store:
- Spread the word via e-mail. When you open your Kidzola store, send an announcement to everyone you know announcing your business and ask them to help you spread the word. Make sure to tell everyone what’s special about your products and what inspired you to open your own business. Explain what makes your store special, whether it’s great prices, a wide selection or a unique product.
- E-mail Part II: Update your e-mail signature line to include your Kidzola store URL. Your direct shop URL is www.kidzola.com/username
- Blogs and Social Media: Link your blog and social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to your Kidzola store URL and make sure to tell all your friends and followers to shop at your Kidzola store. Use your blog and social media pages to announce when you have new products or a sale.
- Sponsor a booth at a local baby or craft fair: You can sell your products and promote your Kidzola store at the same time. Bring a sampling of your items for sale along with your Kidzola business cards. Let interested customers know that they can keep in touch and order your products at any time through your Kidzola store. Make sure to get their e-mail address so you can contact them in the future about new inventory and sale items.
- Out and about: Carry Kidzola business cards with you at all times (you never know who you’ll meet) and tell everyone to come and shop at your Kidzola store.
- Keep in touch with customers: Reach out to your customers when you add new inventory or offer a sale. If you keep good records of your customers and what they purchased, you can easily e-mail them when you have new or sale items they may be interested in.
- Take great pictures: A picture’s worth a thousand words and a great photo is your best sales tool. Shoppers base much of their buying decision on the photograph, so make sure you showcase your items in their best light. Extra pictures are free at Kidzola, so feel free to take multiple pictures and show your items from various angles and highlighting special details.
- Keep your Kidzola shop full of inventory so shoppers have a good selection when they visit your store. List new products often so your visitors have a reason to keep coming back.
- Feature your items on the homepage gallery, at the top of a category or highlight your listing to make your products more visible to the entire Kidzola community.
- Be good to your customers. Remember that their opinion of you counts towards your feedback rating. Great customer feedback and comments helps instill confidence from new shoppers.
