However, in order to stand out in the fiercely competitive e-commerce environment, an effective promotion strategy is essential. This article will explore the two strategies of paid and free cross-border e-commerce promotion, and propose how to combine them to achieve the best results.
1. Paid promotion strategy
(1) Search engine advertising
Use search engine platforms such as Google AdWords for paid promotion, and attract potential customers and increase website traffic by setting keyword advertising and targeting advertising.
(2) Social media advertising
Purchase advertising space on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to display products to target audiences, increase brand exposure and customer conversion rate.

2. Free promotion strategy
(1) Social media marketing
Establish a brand account, regularly publish high-quality content, interact with fans, and increase brand awareness and reputation. It is necessary to continuously produce valuable content to attract and retain fans and establish a good interactive relationship.
(2) SEO optimization
Improve search engine rankings and increase natural traffic by optimizing website structure, keyword settings, page content, etc. It is necessary to understand user search habits and needs, reasonably set keywords, optimize website content, and improve user experience.
(3) Word-of-mouth marketing

(4) Cooperative marketing
Cooperative marketing with related industries and platforms, such as co-promotion with bloggers, Internet celebrities, public accounts, e-commerce platforms, etc. It is necessary to establish a good cooperative relationship to ensure that the content of the cooperation is in the interests of both parties.

The successful promotion of cross-border e-commerce is inseparable from the effective combination of paid and free strategies. Enterprises should formulate comprehensive promotion plans based on their own conditions and market demand, and continuously optimize and adjust strategies to achieve sustained brand growth and steady market expansion.
