Several members already named the main channels — and stressed SEO, pointed to social, mentioned email/PPC and noted offline — which is a solid start. What’s missing is a practical sequence and the technical/measurement work that actually makes those channels profitable. The items below translate channel ideas into actions that produce repeatable results.

  • Fix the fundamentals first: mobile‑first responsive pages, site-wide HTTPS, fast page loads, clear shipping/returns, visible trust signals, and complete product pages (good images, concise bullets, FAQs, and reviews). Add product structured data so shopping/serp features can read price and availability.
  • Instrument everything: set up analytics and event tracking (visits, add-to-cart, checkout steps, transactions). Use UTMs for campaign attribution and track KPIs: visits by channel, conversion rate, add-to-cart rate, cart abandonment, AOV, CAC and repeat-purchase rate.
  • Automate retention early: build three flows (welcome, cart-abandonment, post-purchase upsell/feedback). These typically pay back faster than cold-acquisition.
  • Acquire with tests and scale winners: run small, targeted ad tests, push bestsellers to marketplaces/shopping feeds, and use remarketing for cart abandoners. Don’t pour budget into channels until landing pages and tracking are validated.
  • Continual improvement: run A/B tests on product pages and checkout, use session recordings or heatmaps to find friction, and iterate.

Troubleshooting quick checks: if traffic is good but sales are low, inspect checkout friction, shipping surprises, page speed and trust signals. If conversions are fine but traffic is weak, prioritize marketplace listings and small paid tests. If abandonment is high, enable guest checkout, show shipping early, and add cart-save + email reminders.

Spend the bulk of early effort on measurement and conversion fixes — acquisition scales best when the site converts.
