I posted this on INSIDERS but didn't get any replies so here it is again. My company is ready to take orders and now I need to figure out how to actually get traffic to the site.
After around 8 months of work, i've finally gotten everything together and have begun to take orders. This is after a long process of:
-creating the product
-Making samples and giving to people I know for testimonials
-designing the label/logo (if anyone is in need of a good label designer I can refer you to the lady that did mine, she did a very good job with it)
-creating social media
-creating the website and reading copywriting books to help with it
-writing a few blog posts
-registering as an llc
-finding the right manufacturer
Heres my site: somavitasupplements.com
My first product is basically a mood booster that relaxes you, as well as increases sociability, and reduces anxiety/stress.
Right now my plan for marketing is to message ig accounts with around 10k followers and offer to send them a free bottle to try, and say that if they like it they could optionally post a review on their ig that I can repost. So far i'm targeting yoga girls, health/fitness crowd, and music festival accounts. I'm not exactly sure if this will drive enough traffic to the site but we'll see.
Additionally I approached a local smoke shop and gave them a few bottles to sell for free, and told them to call me if they sell well so we could work out a deal.
This is my first business venture, so I wanted to reach out to both help people by seeing my process as well as get any constructive criticism and advice on what to do from here in terms of marketing. Right now my site hardly gets any views at all so having a good marketing strategy is a must. I want to try and grow it organically before resorting to paid advertisements on ig/google.
