MenuWhere do we begin to get our first sales for our curated yoga wholesale website with a limited budget?
This question has no further details.
Answers
Quickest way to drive traffic is either Google Adwords (SEM) or Facebook Ads, however, with a limited budget you can't guarantee sales (you will be paying per click). This is also a great place to test different copy, images, or audiences to see what works best for your website.
A great way to spend marketing budget when you are first getting started and on a limited budget is affiliate marketing. Basically you pay a commission to other sites that drive sales for you (pay per sale model) or when someone submits a lead form (pay per lead model). This is not the fastest way as you need to structure your program and find affiliates, but you typically don't start spending your budget until sales are coming in. Niche markets are usually a good fit for this so your yoga should align nicely.
Shareasale is the largest when you are just getting started but this article has an aanalysis of some other options as well.

Over the past decade, I've worked with a lot of brands that just can't spend their way to a consistent set of leads. With a limited budget, you're going to want to conserve your finances for the actual implementation of your strategy.
The best way to start is to leverage the people you know in the industry. Talk with them about their challenges in the field -- for yoga wholesale for example, it can be a quality issue or a inventory consistency issue. Addressing that need is going to be your first step to getting your sale.
Using the aspect that merges your company's best differentiator and your clientele's biggest need will give you the core parts of what you need to communicate in your marketing. Your next step would be getting that marketing in front of your potential clientele -- your network.
If you need help figuring out what makes you special in your market, I'd be happy to talk with you to hone that down so you can really get a marketing strategy that works for your business.
Namaste
That's a interesting question.
Firstly I'm not here to talk on how digital marketing will bring in the traffic.You will find them all over the internet.
The below are few pointers to make your website a unique one from tons out there.
1)The word yoga means Union. A sense of acceptance to who we are and our role play.
Today sadly yoga has just been reduced to body bending postures and their pictures posted on social media.
2) I'm assuming your website is based on yoga products for sale.
One word answer to this would be "Uniqueness and authentic"
Assuming it's a yoga products website bringing the attention of people based on authentic scriptural content In Sanskrit written ages ago.
Articles on yoga, the basics on how anyone of any age and shape can connect to it and benefit it.
Storytelling is one powerful tool how people connect with their life's that dawns faith and trust to bring that change.
Bottomline - Let people know the roots of Yoga from its roots, Pathanjali ( father of Yoga ) and what the Vedas have to say about them for modern times.
Connect with genuine yoga practioners who aren't for masses but want to touch lives those seeking it.
I'm still on the assumption it's a Yoga product based website. I would appreciate the fact of we could connect and I get to know the specifics of it.
And another request would to go through my profile on how we brother can be a catalyst in multiple ways to your endeavours in bringing you content or podcasts from the roots of our ancient treasure of wisdom.
Hope this brings a new perspective on being able to bring notice of your website for your sales.
For sales, keeping the technical knowledge to the last as its not my forte but I'm from India and if your talking about Budget, it doesn't get better than to outsource it here where your budget fits in.
I have friend whose reference work I could share to see for yourself on SEO / Google Adsense and more for the traffic flow.
Thank you for your time and I hope we connect and have a detailed step-by-step guide how we can take this forward.
Thank you.

How can I convince a client to sign up a 12 month SEO contract?
The best way to work around something like this is to map out the long-term strategy in phases. Build out a brief project map that outlines what they will receive within the 1-3 month period, the 4-7 month and the 8-12 month period. Set micro objectives for each period and this will give the client a bit more confidence in the short-term plans as well as the long. The key thing to remember here is that the client will often be worried about being tied into a contract that doesn't deliver results. As a result, you need to show why you need the time that you do. One thing that I often throw in is an extra incentive for longer contract lengths - for example, an extra PR/content campaign or some paid advertising extras. Try to assure them of some shorter term results that you can obtain as 'quick wins' and build their confidence this way - the major targets will always be longer term but if you can demonstrate that there will be progress between then they will be a lot more receptive.MH

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.AM

What are average profit margins in Ice Cream store business?
Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.MF
