Does anyone else use storenvy?

I opened my shop earlier this year and I just completed my second sale today. I have days and weeks where my views jump quite a bit, but sales are still slow. I'm wondering if anyone else has a shop and might have some tips for how to bring in more views and sales?

Post a link to your shop and I'll check out your work. Maybe we could cross-share each other's work on facebook or other social sites, that always seems to help.

What worked for me even though I have an Etsy shop was to make a Facebook page. I'm in a lot of different groups on Facebook, so I shared my shop's FB page and url in the relevant groups and got a lot of followers from that. I've made a lot more sales from sharing the page in groups than I did just trying to tell my friends about it, and I've managed to get a few return customers.

I tend to throw in freebies for people who spend a certain amount or shop more than once, and that helps with repeat business as well. As soon as I signed my shop up to take credit cards, I made a lot more sales than I had when I only accepted PayPal. I don't know how StorEnvy works, but if you can accept credit cards in addition to PayPal and other methods, it gives people a really convenient way to make a purchase.

I do have a facebook page that I tend to make decent sales from, but usually it's from friends or friends of friends. I haven't had much success with getting outside of that circle yet. I was thinking about maybe pinning some of the things in my shop into a special board on pinterest to try and get more views, but I'm not sure if that would help boost actual sales or not.

I do throw in little freebies with each online sale based on how much is spent (a small keychain with jewelry purchases, a mini patch with a t-shirt, a coupon for $1 off with a Blockhead/plushie, etc.) and just did a sale all through December where each pre-made purchase over$30 got a coupon for $5 or 10% off a custom order to try and bring in more custom sales, but so far the numbers seem to be pretty stagnant.

All the payments are processed through paypal for security, but I believe you can just type your card info in and not sign up for paypal.

I'll look for more facebook groups to join though, maybe I just haven't joined the right ones.

Crafting communities, movie fan clubs, and theme groups might be good to look into.
Since all of my shop's things are Discordian, I promoted my shop in a bunch of Discordian groups.
