Johnny Says: If You Wanna Get Hit, Stand in the Middle of Traffic!

Increase your visibility through social networks!

Social networks are not only a great way of keeping up with what your friends are doing, but they’re a great way of advertising for large and small businesses alike. Shopit is like a Hammond B3 organ; its plays the blues; but only if you know how to play it! So we’re here to give you some lessons.

Your store won’t sell itself; you have to get out there to generate your own sales and increase your visibility. Social networks are great for doing this! At Shopit, we have recognized the value of increasing our user’s visibility on the web, so we have created Shopit applications for six of the most popular social networks; Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5, Ning, and AIM. Each one of these networks is a little different, which helps to appeal to almost every personality type.

First step in getting started: Get an account with any or all (for you ambitious types) of the social networks to follow. You can sign up here: Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Hi5, Ning, and AIM.

Second step: Add the Shopit application, and your store will appear right on your social networking profile! This will allow the users of these networks to view all of your store’s products and even checkout right from your page. Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5, Ning, AIM.

Last Step: Promote your store, your products, and yourself! Make sure to take advantage of everything that these social networks have to offer. You can communicate with customers by posting bulletins, sending messages, blogging, and more. Every time you write about your store and its products the more attention it brings. It’s like a bug flying around a barn; you will eventually get caught in a web! So start talking about it. Out of ideas? Tell your customers about updates to your store, the advantages of your products in comparison to others, sales, package deals, new items, seasonal/holiday items, back to school stuff, promotional goods, free shipping, relevant items; baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sporting goods… etc. (just to name a few )

So get out there and start making some noise; start selling your store!
