Promotion advise needed for adult toys online store!!
 

Hi!

We are building an online store selling adult toys. Sure, we will try to make all the necessary on-site SEO.

But, what could you advise as an off-site promotion?
What specifics?
Maybe there are some things that work best of all for retailers like us?


Thank you!

if they are your own products, you could set up an affiliate program, and advertise for webmasters on boards like this one,
if you are just promoting the products, then you have a whole gambit of things to do..
some of which are building free sites, prefferably with models using toys, and promoting your site and toys there, tgping the same way, as well as an army of SE pages for each toy you want to sell...also get into networking sites adult areas and set yourself up on them...

that's just a few things you can do to start off the bandwagon...
i'm sure others will come up with many more...but those are basic and straight to the point..and should get you building traffic to your site by doing them daily..

Voltar, first, thank you very much for the extensive reply!!

As a store, we sell products of our own and we are already preparing an affiliate program.
But our area is very competitive... Sure we will work on links, and will post some articles, but else can be done?? |huh

no where near as competitive as the adult porn market...by far it's the most cut throat..
but to your question...
get some social networking going, you know facebook and those type of places...
get out into the various medias, print ads(in adult mags, newsletters, newpapers, swingers adverts,..etc) and such...articles to them can bring in some fresh traffic...
to be quite honest, before starting a venture like this you should have a network of sites and traffic in the adult realm prior to doing it..otherwise you are working handicapped...so building your web of interlinking sites and blogs can help you alot...yeppers i included a blog...where you can daily post a new product..having a few pics of it in use each day would go a long way in getting bookmarkers as well...
and remember, you are now in the adult realm, so no way to get away from naked raw porn..even selling toys...
say "I sell rubber dicks!" 3 times out loud to yourself...
go ahead, it will set your mind in the right frame and get you over any shyness that many have when they first come into the adult realm of things...

once done, run with it, sit down with pencil and paper and set you out a daily routine..and follow it..amend it...and make it second nature...because time and continous promotion is what will bring in the numbers...

=)))) yeah! Starting daily training!


Thank you very much for the ideas!

Good luck!
