It would depend a lot on what you are selling and who your target market is.

You create awareness by means of advertisement, promotions amongst others...
..which I see you have done.
It also depends on the intensity of the promotion/s but bear in mind that is dependant on your product/s.
May I suggest you have a tie-in promotion say with some entity selling cellphone covers, cases etc.
It's a tough market for what you're selling unless you have something unique to offer.

You would need some good exposure for your products with maximum exposure and low overheads. Try the E-commerce way - target not just the Singapore market but the rest of the world too. I tried advertising in the Straits Times and Magazines but through the exposure of the Internet I have a virtual shop 24hrs a day, 7dys a week at a fraction of what I pay for a Hardcopy Advertisement. May be worth a shot.
