2. Referral Marketing
One of the best (and still underestimated) e-commerce marketing practices is referral marketing. This is a simple reason: we are all social creatures and love to share our experiences with our family and friends. It is also beneficial for us we help each other avoid bad experiences and support each other in having a positive experience for locations. Whether you like it or not, people will share it with their friends about you. Would you not like to share with your brand and company something positive?

4. Try filters and QR codes
Sneh Ratna Choudhary, the Beaconstac digital marketer, says social media filters like Snapchat and Instagram will offer a unique shopping experience to eCommerce brands. That includes Levi’s Denim brand, which enables Snapchat users to scan QR codes in the shop and digitally check their jacket by using Kylie Cosmetics online, and Kylie Jenner’s makeup company, Kylie Cosmetics, which used Instagram filters to help users to see what their latest lipsticks looked like. In a similar way, QR codes in printed advertisements can be conveniently found by customers on the website of advertisers. “These QR codes typically are contextual enough that users can open up new deals at various times of the day, “said Choudhary. ‘Last year, Amazon.com sent a gift catalog that contained qr code to enable its customer who are parents to buy toys and other things for their kids seamlessly. This was nice because of the vacuum created after Toys R Us was shut down.
5. Pay per click ads
