Send individual emails to the leads
In our age of mass business and promotional mails when you receive a personalized mail it makes you pleasantly surprised. A client will feel special if he or she gets a personalized email declaring some nice discount or telling them about a product. It shows that the sellers or the brand owners have noticed them. They will feel special and valued. Sending customized emails is one of the best ways to get the right sort of attention from clients.
Create your own content
To reach out to potential customers your startup will need good content. Instead of depending on others, you should create your own visual and written content. Ecommerce startups should be more careful about the content they create. Good content can help you get a good placement in the popular search engine and create a niche for your business.
Proper use of resources
You should stop yourself from splurging unnecessarily. Just because your business is doing well you cannot recklessly spend money on useless stuff. Be careful with the most vital resource of your business that is money. Invest excess money considering the future. Outsource work instead of buying new, huge workspace. Keep your regular workforce small and manageable.
Increase your contact list

Live chat is profitable
It may seem like an additional expenditure, which will not work for your website at first, but later on you will definitely find it to be profitable. Live chat helps in answering the questions of leads and converting them into loyal clients.
Summary
The new generation is more interested in starting their own business. To be successful as a startup you must learn to use available resources with care.
