No business can survive without customers; that goes for dropshipping too. Customers are the foundation of a successful and lucrative business and there are many ways to attract them. The most effective of them all is starting a social media ad campaign.

This allows you placing your offer in front of potential customers that will help you generate sales and revenue and, in no time, lead to a quick scaling in business. It will also give you the edge to compete with other existing brands and retailers.

There are other options like search engine optimization and email marketing; you can set up an automated email sequence, collect email addresses of your customers and send discounts and special offers to their inbox. With this method, you can grow your customer base and generate revenue without incurring extra expenses.

6. Analyze and Optimize

It is imperative you track all the data and metrics required to scale your business. You have to keep tabs on all your sources of organic traffic that includes Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc, and whatever be your main customer acquisition channel.

When you keep track of every conversion, it enables you to know what channel and strategy works. You get to eliminate the ones that do not work and scale up those that really work so brilliantly for you.

You also have to continue testing the waters, check out new opportunities and fine-tune campaigns. Also, keep an eye on social media algorithms, as it changes from time to time.
