How to market compact mirrors
If you want to maximize currency generation, you are going to need a marketing strategy. There’s a lot of competition across all platforms and marketplaces – some with more, some with less – so you want to make sure your compact mirrors stand out.
Create your brand
You need to have a clear brand in mind. You might have amazing custom compact mirrors designed, but if you want your business to stand out, you need to develop a recognizable brand. A clear brand is necessary for a complete marketing strategy across all channels and platforms.
Social media presence
Let the world know about your brand. Create social media channels and join Facebook groups. Set some money aside for advertising if you can’t wait for that organic traffic to come in.
It’s also always wise to have your own products on hand. Of course, you can use product mockups on your social media, but we always encourage our merchants to order product samples to, first and foremost, make sure the end product looks and feels good. And second, you can take gorgeous photos for social media. You can also attract attention by flashing brand-new custom mirrors in public.
Giveaways work
When you have a steady social media presence or want to attract more attention to your brand, you can organize a contest or checkout giveaway — so people can see and feel how lovely your products are and spread the word about your store.
Optimize your shop for SEO
No matter how great your custom mirrors are, if a customer can’t find them, they essentially do not exist. To change this, you need to make SEO-optimized listings and product details. If your product is at the top of search results that’s half of the win, as shoppers tend to pick the products that come up first instead of going through tens of pages.
To optimize for SEO, you will need to understand the keywords your customers will be searching. Coming up with what your potential audience is looking for will help you win more sales. Include the keyword in the product title (the beginning of the title works best).
Run paid ads
Even though you can run your business with zero investments, experience shows that paid ads really do work. Paid ads make sure your custom compact mirrors will be seen by the people you specifically target, either by location, age, gender, or interests. You can reach your desired audience by spending only a couple of dollars each day, as long as your audience is well-defined.
Encourage reviews
Today, before making a purchase, people will go through reviews on Etsy and social media to see if your business is legit and your products are worth their money. So a positive review can go a long way.
Encourage your customers to leave a review after receiving the product. If you feel like they need a little nudge, offer a promo code for their next purchase if they leave positive feedback.
