Google shop + Email Marketing + Pinterest
I believe it's not a new practice that people often realize how bad they've been after they've spent all in the name of looking for "fast results"
For the past 5 years, I've contributed to this sub and other related subs about the effect of practicing the "customers' thoughts" culture, nothing can beat branding.
This store is the same store struggling to do less than 300$ since January while over $700 were spent on TikTok and Facebook ads, and money was spent on getting good creatives too.
In your pursuit of developing a profitable dropshipping store, you should put consumer behaviors first because people won't buy just because you're welling or you have the best quality... shopping is a lifestyle for the majority of online shoppers.
Have you sat down and thought or asked yourself these questions:
The dropshipping stores making a lot of sales, how do their customers find them?
Why did they choose to buy from them?
What makes them different? Etc
There's a long list of questions but the simple analogy is that there's no perfect way to grow. Here are some of my recommendations for growth hacks.
Be everywhere (Pinterest, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr)
Put uniqueness into your branding (let people recognize your brand without checking the link just the same way you'd easily recognize Coca-Cola even when there's no label)
Leverage on Google shop, email marketing, TikTok shop, Facebook shop, and SEO. These are the major and most effective sales channels a store could have for consistent and crazy results over time.
When you spend your time working on those, you'll sit back and enjoy your hardwork.. it might come slowly, but the fact that there'll be a lot of turnouts from several channels makes it more impressive and encouraging.
Lastly, you'll waste a lot of time researching, if you think that there's a secret recipe.
If you have questions, ask (I'll answer all in the comment section ONLY)
I pray we all win
