First of all, VERY nice work!!! Have you looked into Ebay's new prostores.com website? Prostores will allow you to register keywords with search engines and shopping assistants like Froogle. (Note: free 30 day trial) You should also consider making up flyers and business cards with your website address on them. Ebay has a great reputation but it should support your business, not replace it. When sending purchases, make sure to have your own website address on the mailing labels and within an enclosed "Thank You" note... do whatever you can to get the word about. There are two books that I found in the library ... Marketing Without Money and More Marketing Without Money that will help you brainstorm new ideas for getting people to your store/site. You should consider having a press release written about your business and letting it be published in a local newspaper. Make copies. Use that with other marketing materials. Let family and friends spread the word for you. Construct a mailing of postcards to random households ... just 10-12 a week and see if that helps increase your sales. You dont have to go nuts. Ask local businesses if you can hang flyers. We have drug stores and hardware stores that have community bulletin boards. Hope some of these ideas will help brainstorm what's right for you.
