What to Do After Launching Your Online Store: First 7 Steps for Success

You’ve launched your online store — your products are listed, payments are connected, and delivery is ready. Now what?

Most businesses go quiet after launch, but this is where the real work (and growth) begins.

In this blog, we’ll show you the 7 most important things you should do after launching your website to get visitors, build trust, and start generating orders.

Step 1: Announce It Everywhere

Share your store link on:

• Facebook (personal + business page)

• Instagram

• WhatsApp & Viber status

• TikTok (if available)

• Email & SMS your existing customers
  
  

Don’t just say “We launched a website” — give people a reason to click:

• “Get 10% off on first order”

• “Free delivery on your first purchase”
  
  

Step 2: Add or Update Products Weekly

An empty store looks dead. Keep adding or updating:

• New products

• More photos

• Better descriptions

• Prices or offers

Active stores are more trusted and perform better in search engines.

Step 3: Set Up Facebook & Instagram Shop Links

You don’t need to sell only from your website.
Connect your Thulo store link to:

• Facebook Page buttons

• Instagram bio

• Linktree or similar if needed
  
  

This helps drive social traffic to your store.

Step 4: Test the Customer Journey

Act like a customer:

• Can you find a product easily?

• Is the checkout smooth?

• Are payment options working?

• Is delivery info clear?
  
  

Fix anything confusing — first impressions matter.

Step 5: Ask for Reviews from First Buyers

Customer reviews = instant trust.
Ask your first few buyers:

• “Can you write 1–2 lines about your experience?”

• “Would you recommend us?”
  
  

You can display these in product pages or testimonials.

Step 6: Track Performance from Your Dashboard

Inside your Thulo dashboard, check:

• Page views

• Orders

• Most viewed products

• Abandoned carts (if available)
  
  

This helps you improve content, pricing, or promotions.

Step 7: Run Your First Offer or Campaign

Even a small offer helps get attention. Try:

• 5% off for first-time buyers

• Flat shipping rate

• Buy 1 Get 1 on selected items

• Festive bundles or gifts
  
  

Promote it on social media and groups. Share the offer with your store link.

Bonus: Start Building Your Customer List

Each sale = one customer you can re-market to.
Add their contact to your list for:

• Viber/SMS alerts

• Email campaigns

• Future offers
  
  

Thulo helps you manage this in the backend.
