What options do we have available to us that will bring customers into our stores? My new ebay listings have a small link box at the bottom of the auction but it does not seem to be too noticable.
Is there any other ways or methods of getting my auction customers to get to my store?

There have been some previous threads on this so you might want to search back.
1.I use the storefront template as that uses your logo which is "clickable".
2.Also include an "about me" with a link to your store.
3. You might consider google ad words.
4. Submit to all the search engines.
5. I offer free shipping to people who combine an ebay item with a storefront item. So be sure you somewhat "force" people to use checkout. Mention your store in your WBN, shipping notice, etc.
Good luck.

Great points Baylor!
But don't forget the all important patience after submitting to the search engines! <grin>
I feel like I'm standing out in the middle of the freeway on the information superhighway with a sign proclaiming my store that is written in small letters on a 3x5 card and the people are whizzing by and unable to read it.
BUT... with patience, my large BILLBOARD will be up there at almost every milepost soon... once the search engines catalog me.
Oh yeah... submitting to the internet directories too. Man, I forgot about that myself. Got to go do that now!
Hey... if you see my small sign... honk and wave!! LOL
