As many of you know I recently launched my ecommerce store. I am currently working on improving the site based on the many great suggestions from the members here and from customers that I have met. As I am improving the site, my mind jumps to "what's next", and invariably the topic of advertising my newly improved site comes to mind often. So, for those experienced entrepreneurs out there, if you had $10,000 to promote and advertise an ecommerce store, what would you do and how would you do it?
p.s. - I was able to confirm how much one of my competitors spent on advertising per month. To achieve around $350,000 in sales/year ($120,000 in net profit), they advertise between $2000-5000 per month. I feel that my site is already superior to their site, and I carry many of the same brand names, so I feel that their sales are certainly within the realm of possibility.
p.s.s. - I live in Washington, DC, so there is a large amount of population density and a captive audience since many people work for the federal government in a security or safety-related field, and many people still vividly remember living here during 9/11
