can give you is to dedicate time early to driving organic traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t know what organic traffic is, it can be easily explained as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Organic traffic is the visitors that come to your store from unpaid sources.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, it can also be referred to as <strong>free traffic<\/strong>, because you don\u2019t have to pay for ads, shoutouts, promotions, or similar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this one of the most important tips on dropshipping? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important because organic traffic can skyrocket your business over the long term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Check out the<a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/tiktok-bio-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\"

id=\"Utilize_Upsells_and_Cross-Sells_Before_Running_Ads\"><\/span>Utilize Upsells and Cross-Sells Before Running Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upselling and cross-selling strategies can help you increase the value of each conversion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your Facebook ads bring a visitor to your store who decides to buy the item you were advertising, they can, in addition, buy another complimentary item that you decide to place at a smart location during checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To clarify, this process increases your ROI and results in a much higher <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/dropshipping-profit-margin\/\">dropshipping profit margin<\/a> when you calculate the cost of ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn

id=\"Dont_Underestimate_Referral_Programs\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Underestimate Referral Programs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Referral programs are free marketing strategies that can be automated and used to make sales without you lifting a finger. It\u2019s one of the most clever tips for dropshipping ads without actually paying for ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You set up a referral program \u2192 customers start signing up for a bonus in return \u2192 they bring in new customers \u2192 you make a sale without ad spend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, a percentage of that sale goes to the referral and the discount for the customer. However, you never initially paid ads for that customer. As a result, even a lower profit margin on those sales is still a win for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It literally costs you a few minutes to set up a referral program and let it do the work for you. It actually grows exponentially, and once it starts to pick up you\u2019ll notice a significant boost in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1<strong> Tip: <\/strong>If you\u2019re dropshipping on Shopify, here are <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/best-shopify-affiliate-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 of the best Shopify referral program apps<\/a> you can use to quickly set this up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plan-ahead-for-holidays\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_Ahead_for_Holidays\"><\/span>Plan Ahead for Holidays<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/LNBdyqwxxTqhEexBWEOQaqM-Cbnd6HtG5q4PY6_c5MApeC8S7XIjGGFS41q1FIr0bYH6SfC9ph01nhPCT9vIwUAGuiNO0aNVf3jP-Lk63o2qVNZRJF44QXHddwbVvc-sXfnmbET1FRXOLaRJ_A\" alt=\"dropshipping marketing tips\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When I say this, I don\u2019t mean to pause the store on holidays and go out partying. Instead, you should mark huge holidays on your calendar and create special marketing campaigns for those days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, you should consider holidays that are only important to the customers you are targeting. For example, you shouldn\u2019t create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/holidays\/july-4th\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">4th of July<\/a> marketing campaign for customers outside the US, as this holiday is exclusive to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People generally buy more on holidays or ahead of holidays. Their spirits are lifted and they often buy mainly because they want to gift the product to someone they care about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, it\u2019s your job to create discounts and market them aggressively to your target audience. There is a great chance to see an increase in conversions during these times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-stick-to-only-one-payment-option\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Stick_to_Only_One_Payment_Option\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Stick to Only One Payment Option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all customers will be able to pay with PayPal, despite it being the most popular payment option. As a result, it\u2019s important to include multiple of the most popular payment methods, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PayPal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Credit Cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Debit Cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Pay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apple Pay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amazon Pay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This one may not be exactly defined as dropshipping marketing tips but it\u2019s a no-brainer and is still important to include it as some of you may forget about it or think that it\u2019s not necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcdd Note: <\/strong>Don\u2019t simply include every payment method there is. That will make you look like a scammer and complicate things even further. Stick to these 5-6 most popular ones and you\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MUST READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/dropshipping-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dropshipping Scams &amp; How To Avoid Them As a Beginne<\/a>r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improve-your-copywriting-skills\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improve_Your_Copywriting_Skills\"><\/span>Improve Your Copywriting Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the all-time best dropshipping marketing tips to increase your sales is to master copywriting.

As a result, you would have flushed all your money on dropshipping ads down the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, out of all the dropshipping marketing tips here, this one is probably the most important if you\u2019re working in the bottom range of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/minimum-budget-to-start-dropshipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minimum dropshipping budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/create-shopify-store-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Set Up Your First Store on Shopify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-a-live-chat-app\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_a_Live_Chat_App\"><\/span>Install a Live Chat App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should definitely install a live chat Shopify app such as Tidio before you start running ads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because great <a href=\"https:\/\/dropshipping.com\/article\/customer-service-for-dropshipping\/\">dropshipping customer service<\/a> is critical.
