Ecommerce Growth Flywheel - Traffic

Introduction

To sell something online, a web store needs visitors: traffic. So traffic generation is always on the top of our minds.

When shoppers are looking for new products, search engines play a vital role. The same is true for social media, but in a different way. Actively searching for a product usually indicates a high intent to buy, which helps score a quick conversion. People who discover a product via social media may not even know it exists. Due to this, they enter the sales funnel at a higher level, and might take more time to convert.

Both search and social media distinguish organic traffic from paid traffic. Creating content that stands out on social media or optimizing content for search engines (SEO) is often the key to organic traffic. If you want to reach even more people, you can pay Google, Meta, TikTok, and other channels to advertise your content.

In addition, you can also generate traffic by partnering with influencers, running joint promotions, using email and messaging, holding events, and conducting offline to online activities. The articles in this section will surely inspire you to explore new options to generate store traffic, or to improve your current efforts.
