What to do when sales are slow

What can you do while sales are slow to make things better?

First of all: relax! There will always be slow months in the year and sometimes you just have to ride them out. That doesn't mean not do anything, but it does mean to try not to stress about it.

Some other suggestions include:
Increasing your facebook ads. I know this may seem a little scary to spend more money while things are slow, but it can genuinely increase sales and interest. You have to spend money to make money. 
So if you already have an ad running, try upping your daily limit, or try promoting specific posts. If you don't have an ad currently running, this is the time to do so!

You can also add a few more ads to related blogs / websites. If you already have one, add a few more for a one month deal with some other sites. You can also see about paying a little more on the websites you are currently on and get a better spot (ex. a bigger ad, or higher up on the page).

Some free ideas to up your sales would be to really go full bore with your free marketing. Get onto Twitter like crazy, start finding more followers on instagram, post all your awesome items on every free social media site you are on. Just don't stop. 

This is usually the best time to sit down and clean up your shop, remove items that aren't selling, work on your blog or website, update everything you may have fallen behind on. A slow month can be great for "Spring Cleaning". You know all those new products you haven't had the time for? Find the time! It's time to get those online! Show off all your new products so people remember why they should buy from you even though maybe money is a little tight that month.
