Suggestions for web store

[David Ponraj]

Hi
I have an online store that sells art prints and other tribal artifacts. I would like some suggestions for advertising my products inexpensively. I would appreciate any efforts to answer this question.

thanks

Vistaprint.com can supply you with relatively cheap flyers and posters that you can print off, and although its an online business, you shouldn't refuse even local people who would be interested in your goods.

Print off some flyers and "mistakingly" place them among others in a large store or somewhere they will get attention, ask store owners that sell similar products if you could leave a poster there, or if thats too large, some more flyers.

Even go so far as to get business cards with services on them, vista print, after a 20 dollar rebate gives you 750 cards for 7 bucks, its a great deal. Then pass them out to people leaving similar businesses. Just be discreet about it.

As for actual online advertising, any forums you use, put your URL into the sig and it'll attract some extra customers.

I have to go to class now but I'll update this when I get a chance.

As you probably have some fine products, maybe you could use the product submit function at Yahoo Shopping.
Also Google has that service.
This way you can add your products in the specific category for maximum effect.

Thanks for your suggestions. For now I have added some paintings to the online store and I plan to get some business cards printed as well.
