Fashion Retailer Online Looking For Strategy

Posted by Anonymous on 250 Points
Hey guys,

So I represent a fashion retailer who is gettin its feet wet through ecommerce. I just joined their web marketing team and its seems like there is no direction currently.

So there target market is women and men aged 20-35, with a focus more towards the women. They have awesome brand recognition too.

At this point their goal is to increase traffic and in turn generate more sales revenue.

From an SEO standpoint my hands are tied I cant optimize the site at all, which by the way is completely in flash, because our web development is handled by a 3rd party that we are in a not so happy contract with and it is very difficult to make chamges with them.

So to make a long story short ill put some key points down
Men and womens fashion ecommerce site for trendy fashion company.
99 percent of all organic traffic comes in from keywords that contain its brand. So customers are searching for our specific brand already.
Email blasts go out to newsletter every month with sales or discounts
Social media right now is not being taken care of properly, that is somethin I will be fixing
They have tried ppc befoew but never worked too well.
No affiliate network currently but open to the idea.

So anyone have any creative ideas on how to drive traffic to the website witb a 5k monthly budget? Also any one know of any good affiliate networks out there for fashion companies?

    SEO can be done off page as well as on page but one without the other is a recipe for a lot of frustration. With your dilemma I suggest you research on the latest about optimizing Flash sites. There is a way now to include attributes for Flash that the engines can pick up. Personally, I was able to rank a flash site based on the strength of back links alone but of course if your site was optimized on page then your SERPs will be better. PPC keywords for this niche are amazingly cheaper than other niches so I wouldn't discount PPC . Google loves brands so build your brand well. I've seen brand based searches with more than 3 organic listings for just that particular domain. These are just some tips you can look into but obviously there is a lot of things you can do to improve traffic and conversions.
