What is the best way to get activity in your shop

muellly

I opened a shop recently, and I'm wondering what is the best way to get activity in a shop?

Bump it frequently and make sure the title is as clickbaity as humanly possible.

muellly

Okay, so how should I make this tittle more clickbaity.

Neverending dreams a detailed Review and Idea shop

Maybe use emojis…
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/141133665/ Has emojis that people use in their shop titles.

Okay so I added some of them to the tittle. Is this more likely to get clicks?

Use a crazy font with an emoticon, like:

✨ᑎEᐯEᖇEᑎᗪIᑎG ᗪᖇEᗩᗰS✨ ᗩ ᗪETᗩIᒪEᗪ ᖇEᐯIEᗯ ᗩᑎᗪ IᗪEᗩ SᕼOᑭ ᕙ(◕ᴥ◕)ᕗ

That seems a little excessive to me. I found a huge list of symbols, and this is what I came up with.

edit, well Scratch deleted what I originally put. Anyway is Detailed Review Idea in the most bold font in Scratch or is there another?

Okay so using the symbols PrincessTS came up with I made

✨ﬡe̫v̫e̫r̫e̫n̫d̫i̫n̫g̫ ᗪr̫e̫a̫m̫s̫✨ ѧ ᗪe̲̅t̲̅a̲̅i̲̅l̲̅e̲̅d̲̅ ☽ᖇe̲̅v̲̅i̲̅e̲̅w̲̅☾ a̫n̫d̫ ☽Id̲̅e̲̅a̲̅☾ s̫h̫o̫p̫★

I think that tittle looks nice. However if we are going for as clickbaity as humanly possible then it would be.

Just with what I did for Neverending Dreams A Detailed with every letter. I could, also replace some of the symbols with colored Emoji.

Okay so does anyone have any advice on how to get more activity into a shop that does not include click bait tittles or bumping?

Bump. I'm still wondering other ways to get more activity into my shop. Also for the click bait titles does anyone have suggestions on how to make my current tittle better? I want to focus on giving details in what I make, however I don't want to spam my tittle in to many random symbols.

muellly

Bump yet again. Is there any other way.

PrincessTS

Maybe using some more BBCode would be good.

Tada!

PinkyPants

For the clickbaity title, I would reccomend this:

nєvєrєndíng drєαms ☄dєtαíllєd ⓇⒺⓋⒾⒺⓌ αnd ⒾⒹⒺⒶ shσp ☄ σwnєd вч ⓂⓊⒺⓁⓁⓁⓎ

Otherwise, here are some tips for getting in actual activity.

Make the formatting easy to read, and aesthetically pleasing. I would be more likely to order or take orders from a shop that looked nice than any others that didn't. Use lots of images, just slightly below the point it would look lazy. Basically do whatever looks cool to you.

Bump frequently. Do it no more than two times a day, otherwise that will be considered spam, and you could get in trouble. This is one of the best and easiest ways to get people to know about your shop.

Be enthusiastic! I would not order from a shop with an owner that says “ugh, this is too much, i need a holiday”, but would definetley order from with an owner that says “Whoo! Thanks, guys! I greatly appreciate your effort to come here! It really helps! ”

Check it at least twice a day. This one is pretty obvious, but it's also important. The shop basically depends on you, and wouldn't really go well without you. If you at any time can't be that active, hire a manager to do the work for you. They can be temporary, just while you're away, or they can assist you at any time.

Always accept reviews. They can really help you improve, and customers usually love getting their say.

Hold occasional events. It can really get the spirits up of anyone that visits your shop. Say Christmas is coming up. You could change the design, add some limited-time offers, host contests and more.

I hope these helped you -

muellly

Thanks for the advice! I added some BBCode making some texts centered, the parts of the forms you should keep blue, and the headers purple. I also took what PinkyPants said to do for the tittle, and combined it with the tittle I already had, and got

✨ﬡєvєrєndíng ᗪrєαms✨ ☄ ѧ dєtαíllєd ☽ⓇⒺⓋⒾⒺⓌ☾ αnd ☽ⒾⒹⒺⒶ☾ shσp ★ σwnєd вч ⓂⓊⒺⓁⓁⓁⓎ✨

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could do for the first post, tittle, or any ways to get more activity.

muellly

Bump. Is there any more ways to get activity?

muellly

Bump, are there any other nonsarcastic ways?
