I have 18 approved cards today! Hooray! But ...
Apr 12^th, 2011, 10:39am

Hi all, I have in my shop 18 approved cards. Thanks to a great GCU team that does not simply require alteration cards, but also explains why this should be done to the card was purchased. Cool

Thus, the goods in a shop there. But very few visitors. A sale. How to increase the number of visits to the store? How interested buyers? I'm just an artist. I do not see in advertising and promoting goods and services. Share your ideas, please! Is it necessary to independently engage in the promotion of a shop or GCU is doing for us? Thank you! kiss

Hi Larissa -

Congratulations!

If creating is your strong point and you aren't going to be doing any personal promotion/marketing - then just keep designing and uploading. At the VERY least - study ways to use effective titles, keywords, descriptions ... choose the best possible categories. GCU has at least three sites that will feature your work - and with good keywords and a lot of cards, you can get sales thru their own search engines.

If you want to do only a LITTLE work yourself to promote your shop ... purchase your own cards and send them - your friends/family will enjoy hearing from you and your store name on the back of the card will do the promotional work for you.

Sales will come slower this way - but they can happen. Who knows ... after a bit, you might WANT to do just a little more promotion - don't be surprised if that happens!

Of course I don't wanna do only a little work... I promote my store on Facebook, etc, send emails to my friends, but... I understand that I need to know more about keywords... I understand you that GCU has three sites? I hope that it'll be to work
