Hello Everyone,

Just want to introduce ourselves and need some advice on sales/marketing.

We are a fairly new business selling Tiles in ceramics,porcelain and other natural stone. Did really hard work last year at research (but its never enough) and finally started trading 8 weeks ago.

I need all of yours help for giving me advice on how can I get sales?

I can tell something about my products, its brilliant, direct from the manufacturers around the world hence the best possible prices. How can I put this towards right people? Also Just to let everyone know,

-I got website. (Its getting better day by day as we making changes)
-I use yell for PPC and SEO
-Social media is there but not really started yet (will be soon)

from your own experience and knowledge, I would really appreciate your advice on what else can I really do to push sales? As i know its the best quality product at unbelievable prices. How else can I put this in front of others?

Thank you very much in advance

Regards,

Rohit

Are you selling nationally or regionally?

Who is your target market? The general public or trade?

What is your USP? Given the huge number of tile shops in every town plus all of the sheds like B&Q, Wickes et al, I think you are entering a saturated and competitive market, in which I am sure you must have a strong USP that is more than just lower price.

You could go around all the local tile shops and look for a board with business cards, write down any with an email address then send a brief email. I know direct marketing involves spam thesd days, but these are very targeted emails.

If you are targeting regional sales, make sure your website has the address on the top of every page. Create web pages with long tail keywords, you can be page 1 of google for hundreds on 3 and 4 keywords and no ppc cost.
