How do I start a successful floral buisnes online? - Sylvia - 02-28-2013 03:38 PM
I have a business for several years specializing in floral decor for all type's of big events. Now I want to expand into online floral delivery service. I have a website up and running but no luck with sales yet. It's been up and running for the past two months. I just started advertising on a few sites but no luck yet.
Can someone guide me on what I am missing and what to do next? Also, I don't have a retail space, its just a online business.
How can I increase my website traffic, I have plenty of key words in my site don't know what else I need to do.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Thank you

To increase your web traffic, you will need a lot of clicks on your site. The best way you do it, is via social network sites as facebook or twitter! There's a free business section on Facebook where you can list your products and items online and you can add links from your website there if someone wish to order your products and by that way, you will make sales via social network sites and you will increase the traffic on your site.
Start from here.

You should be able to find a lot of guides on youtube on how to sell on facebook or other social sites
