Growing Online Store

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Currently we have an online store selling a very niche type of music which generates about $125 daily. I am trying to find some resources targeted at growing an online store that is already generating profit.

Any suggestions?

This comes from off line work (which I know a little about instead of online marketing at which I am still something of a novice) but I think it should have pretty good carry over. Do some research on the people who have already purchased.

Contact them and thank them for their purchase. Then ask them to help you continue to improve your service to your customers by answering a couple of questions.

#1 is to tell you how they found you site.

#2 is why they decided to buy from you rather than someone else.

Thank them again.

Then, using the information you learn you can do two things. Focus your web site content a little to take advantage of the buying motives. (Ex. if they bought based on price comparison to others, call more attention to your great prices.)

Second, based on where they learned about you, focus more of your attention on those activities.

Wow, that sounds great. Is that all profit? If so I'd focus on what is working and increase.

Good luck. Keep promoting your goods in big marketplace ecommerce sites.

Finding resources may not be what you need. you need to concentrate on getting repeat customers and building up a cgood reputation so people start recomend you. also lookat on site factors to increase conversion rates for instance is your buying process as easy as it could be. ive found that having to register for a site can cause 10% or more of people to drop out etc.
also a little bit of seo never goes amiss!
