3. Interact

Most online sellers do connect and share their store on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, but they spend less time engaging with their audience. You have to interact with your followers and fans! Share contents, reply to messages in a timely manner and don’t forget to thank them for checking your store. Interactions will nurture trust and this will increase people’s awareness towards your online activities.

It’s a chain reaction. If they are interested in your sharing, they will check your content and indirectly discover your online store! If you are lucky, they will share your content too! Isn’t that awesome? Take a look on our finding that is related to interaction.
