Email Marketing:

Send your customers emails featuring your latest and new products. Try and make the email visually appealing as well because that does make a difference. Here’s a trick.

This way, when they visit your website they can also check out your other products and boom! You have grabbed their attention.

Run ads:

The above two methods work with the customers or prospects who already know you exist. But, how to get new customers to visit your website or social media page? By running ads. In your ad copy, again, keep it visually appealing and the copy short and simple. Copies make the biggest difference in your sales, and make sure to get them right.
