Every online store wants to increase traffic and conversions. But even after you’ve put together a basic strategy it can still be challenging to decide on which marketing tactics you should try.
Setting up your e-commerce website and optimising it for the best shopping experience is only part of the equation. It’s true that the fastest and easiest way to drive traffic and conversions on your website would be online ads.
For a small business that has limited marketing dollars, it is more important than ever that your online ads are targeting the most actionable group of customers and on marketing strategies that can first help you see a positive ROI, which can be further reinvested into growth.
