Find forums related to your e-commerce website. Use your website's URL as your forum signature, if allowed to do so. Participate regularly in forum discussions. Get to know other posters and tell them about your website. Ask the site owner if they would like to link to your website. If they agree, return the favour by putting a link of their site on yours.
Use the power of social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, to share your e-commerce website with others. Make a Facebook page dedicated to your e-commerce site and encourage customers to become your fans.
Create business cards and pamphlets with your e-commerce URL printed on them. Hand them out whenever appropriate.
Ask existing customers to tell their friends about your website. In exchange, offer a discount on a future purchase.

2) Public relations; word of mouth: Excellent customer service and compelling products or services can generate many leads over the long term.
3) Strategic partnerships: Creating partnerships can be free and can benefit both companies greatly. Identify which companies can help you achieve your goals.
4) Blogging; Blog advertising: If blogging isn’t for you, consider advertising on blogs; it can run from inexpensive to thousands of dollars. However, it may not be a bad investment.

@ JennySha Social media marketing can take a lot of time but it is worth the effort. You can get some genuine visitors and potential client base from these sites. You can easily set up a business page on Facebook and post special offers regularly. Similarly with twitter, you can tweet pictures and videos related to your business to your followers, this gets more visibility.

I agree if done right you will definitely benefit with the social sites. Alternatively you can do some paid advertising campaigns that helps. Post ads /banners on other popular sites too

As per the recent updates from Twitter, it would soon start a dedicated page for e-commerce websites. They would charge for that tough, but it would surely add up to your business.

You may also try Re-targeting or Re-marketing if you wish to attract users who've been to your website previously.

You can promote your eCommerce website by building a fanpage for your niche on Facebook. Once you have created it, start posting useful content on it and in a few days you will notice traffic coming in to your site, the link to which you will need to provide on the page.
