I need some "solicited advice".
As a registered supplier, I can have 2 and only 2 threads at one time. I want to get exposure for my Ejuice and my
website, of course. I run the contest thread to give away juice and to chat with all the "good Tree People" that I have come to know.
I also have another thread which is basically used as a base so that people can always find The Vape Tree:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...lassmanoaks-vape-tree-official-thread-11.html
I need some ideas on a different way to use that base thread to:
1. Promote my Website and Ejuice, but also
2. to promote vaping, PIF, DIY and all the vaping related things that are important to me.
I don't want to usurp the PIF threads or the DIY threads, but I want to do something for the good of "The Community".
ANY IDEAS?
Alrighty, i have a few suggestions. Bear with me as my thoughts are entirely coherent. I am exhausted.
First, SEO. Find an affordable SEO (Search Engine Optimization) provider, company, college student, web designer, anyone with true experience. This will cause your site to be listed in the top relevant hits during google/bing/yahoo/ect.. searches. In my experience when shopping online, most people make their purchases from one of the top 10 hits on a search engine.
Facebook.
A) Create a facebook shopping cart. Hold special promos on facebook and allow people to make their purchases directly from your FB page.
B) Join EVERY consumer oriented vape group. There are MANY! And post links, deals, and contests on a somewhat regular basis.
C) CONTESTS, I sent you an idea for a somewhat expensive promo to run, the alternative would be 1-5 larger prizes that is announced in the aforementioned groups. Have people like your page, share a link or photo, encourage them to have others do it, all as rules for the FB contest. Let people in the contest promote your site for you in hopes of winning!
D) Paid promoting. Facebook has an option to pay for advertising. It can be expensive, but they work with low budgets as well. if you go with this, it would be ideal to center it around a promotion, contest or announcement.
Email list, encourage people to enroll in email updates and a newsletter. This may require you to pay for this service, or you might be able to find free or cheap ones. (I would suggest making sure these email programs respect your customers privacy, ie no 3rd party selling)
ECF, offer a special ECF discount code for members (although you would have no way to verify if it is really being used by members). ECF10 for 10% off or anything you deem fit would encourage people in the community to use it. Who doesn't like a discount!?
Social Media, start a instagram, twitter, google+ and reddit for your website. Even if you dont update them often (however its good to keep up with them) it will allow more people to find your biz, for more corners of the web and drive up exposure and ideally sales.
I have more ideas, but alas it is time for my lunch break!
I am happy to help you with facebook promotions. i have become savvy with it
ill be back soon with some more suggestions.
