Hi everyone, I am new here and would like to ask for help. Hope to get kind advice from you. I and my mate worked very hard on our fashion jewelry site www.7flowerjewelry.com. We collected jewelry we think nice and of good quality from all over our country and then get them listed on our site, and hope to be supplier of fashion jewelry and other accessories.The site was finally finished last month. But we meet several problems now:
1. we planned to do both wholesale and retail business. We now only have retail price for individual item on the site, and we would like wholesale buyer send mail order to us because we can find more jewelry than we selling on site, and some times wholesale requires exclusivety. And the problem is how can we get all visitors know clearly on our service as some one may not read the information section of the site.
2. Traffic is the big headache. We did google adwords. The result is very sad and disappointed. We paid much to google but gain nothing valuable. Where can we have effective ads and we will pay less.
3. Some of my friends suggest that discount is not good for a site store. But I can see big selling site and shopping malls always have nice discount on certain sections. I am totally confused now, Can you tell if discount good?
4. We are willing to provide free sea shipping for wholesale orders. But sea shipping usually takes much longer than air express and no online tracking service available. Will people feel safe when dealing?
Thanks very much in advance.
