you could place a classified ad on ebay (it's free) and show some of your sale items, with a link to your site.
Also take a free classified on http://uk.freeads.net/ they get a lot of traffic.
join bt tradespace and post your deals there. They are well indexed by the search engines.
please PM me your site address, so i can take a look at your SEO

have you thought about using quidco ? and offering X% off for orders over X£ amount?
you will get a noticeable amount of hits, which should lead to direct sales,

Can any merchant use Quidco? I though they were just interested in big companies.

You cant use quidco it has to be done through a affiliate company like tradedoubler, affiliate future in turn cashback sites use them

It would be easier if you could say what kind of clothing you say so we can help you.

*Start a blog on your website about what you sell: It will give your online shop 'a face' to the customers.

*Use lots of keywords: If you do this blog thing, use lots of keywords relevant to your clothing. So if you sell corsets and lingerie, make sure you mention key words in that sector like 'Dita-von-Teese style corset' etc. By making references like this, Google will be able to pick it up easier.

*Specify your target audience: Who are you aiming your clothes to? If you are selling clothes for young people, go where all the young people in your age bracket are - places like Facebook and MySpace. Start a facebook group and build a following on there. If your target market are elite fashionistas, write a press release to a top fashion magazine like Grazia and ask them to feature you in a tiny article.

Hope this helps.

thanks for pointing that out, >so if you want to setup with quidco go setup with affiliatefuture.co.uk
