Promoting an online dress store

Sorry, but in most cases that just isn’t realistic. Your competitors are really unlikely to want to exchange links with you – why would you want to advertise your competitors’ sites?

Unless you are contributing to a lot of relevant forums and blogs, it’s unlikely to have any serious effect. How many people on here, for example, do you reckon would follow a signature link to an online dress shop with the intention of buying anything?

Just wait dear to gain more traffic for a website it’s a easy process. in one you achieved are sufficient bu handling yourself. if you want for 3000 to 5000 traffic a month then go for a social media marketing company they will do it for you because it have team that can easily gain more n more traffic…

I think you can also post to classifieds about your business and your promotion. Classifieds can help to create awareness about your business and may drive some traffics.

Yes, I agree - classifieds do their job well sometimes.
But making up an affiliate program will definitely bring you good results.

And if you do this ( using a coupon ) you might consider as a way to promote your site via coupons. Discount … for what you offer ( even to products that you sell if you can do this ). Or a coupon for membership, etc.
