Six Months and Only 1 Sale. How do you get more sales?

Hey all, Happy Tuesday!

So I'm feeling frustrated today.

For six months now, I've been posting to Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. The top platforms used by my target audience. My website is mobile friendly. The top method my target audience uses to view those platforms. I've paid for advertising on all three. I post regularly and I have a decent (at least I think so) sized inventory to choose from. I've also encouraged feedback and input (looking for what THEY want to see). And nothing. 
I'm even hosting a giveaway for two beautiful Christmas cards with matching envelopes-- crickets.

What am I doing wrong?
Is the market more saturated with makers than buyers?
Is it the current economy?

I don't believe it's the price because I feel my current pricing structure is acceptable considering size and materials. My ONLY sale was to a Co-worker who bought 10 cards but won't be needing anymore for at least a year! ๐Ÿ˜ž

 

Any input would be extremely appreciated at this time.

Thanks for your helpful response.  No, I have not heard of tedoo, but I am going to try it today. Very encouraging.

 

Again, thank you.

How are you doing with Tedooo? I did try it, and actually liked it, but my joy was short-lived.  All of a sudden, I began to have some serious problems with it working properly. So, I cancelled it. I hope you are still doing well with it, though.

Hi,

 

I am having the same problem. I have not received any sales. I don't know what else to do. I was wondering if my SEO information could possibly be part of the problem. I'm new to writing SEOs, but I am determined to get it right. I also noticed that occasionally, I have been the third listing when I logged onto my website. 

 

I would appreciate suggestions/feedback that could improve my results.

 

Thanks

Where are you promoting your product? FB? IG? Do you have a website?

@ReneesGreetings Have you ever thought of just going live on facebook or instagram and engage your followers? Have a Q&A let your followers ask you questions, show how you come up with ideas and make your cards. We have found out that a younger audience wants to be engaged and make a connection. We go live and sell our products at least twice a month, we have a good time and it lets our facebook/instagram customers know we are human and not just a website trying to sell something. When you make that connection, that is when the sales start.
