Anyone who sells their artwork and crafts through online stores such as Zazzle, CafePress or Society6 will understand the importance of promoting those stores in order to drive traffic and gain some exposure.
Even the most talented artists and designers will make very few sales if the buying public are unaware of what they have to offer. As such, many artists and designers will my site use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Goggle+. And using Pinterest, claim some, is one of the most powerful and effective ways to drive a significant amount of traffic to your stores.
Although I use Pinterest, Twitter and Google+ for promotional purposes, I have to say that, personally, I have not had a great deal of success with these sites. I find that whatever I post on Pinterest soon gets lost amongst the recipes, stiletto heels and images of cute puppies. Twitter, on the other hand, does send some traffic to my stores and although I do not have any concrete evidence to support my claim, does not result in conversions.
In light of my lack of success when it comes to promoting my stores through the usual channels, I began to research some of the lesser known sites, particularly those similar to Pinterest, to see what they have to offer.
At the view publisher why not try these out site time of writing I cannot offer any stats when it comes to the amount of traffic sent to each store from these new sites, as I have only opened accounts, uploaded images and posted links. Overtime, however, I plan to update this hub with more detailed information.
