Hi MsRaines,
Yes, having beautiful pictures helps, as your products would stand out more and grab users' attention. You can also try adding videos to show your items from all angles.
I like your idea of asking people to leave feedback on your products, even if they are not buying, maybe offering coupons for future purchases?
To attract buyers organically, it's good to have a lot of items in the store and have descriptive keywords/copy in product descriptions. To attact people through social media, regular postings and promotional posts help. In any event, it sometimes takes time to establish a strong user base of repeat customers online.
We are working on the new marketing and sales tools for our members on the new site. Can't wait to start sharing some of the things we are working on. Stay tuned!
