I think the best marketing you have done thus far is ask this question. At the moment 1.2k have seen it, 65 liked it and 39 commented! That’s not bad and might generate some leads.
I wouldn’t suggest doing away with your website. It’s your one place to show you are serious about your business....

I wouldn’t suggest doing away with your website. It’s your one place to show you are serious about your business. You’ve invested time and money. However, getting off Wix isn’t a bad idea. You don’t need to spend a lot or have a complex site, you just need a presence on the web that isn’t free.
Speaking of free and the next most important thing you can do to be successful - network and connect. You have 7 connections on Alignable (no recommendations yet), 128 connections on LinkedIn and I couldn’t find your Facebook page. Link up your Facebook page here on Alignable. Invite all your friends to like your page (if you haven’t), use up all your connection credits in Alignable or upgrade to get more. Start making new connections in LinkedIn - check the suggestions and request connections with people you have the most mutual connections. And lastly, make sure your business is on the Google listing and correct.
There is always more that can be done, but this is a good start. I didn’t proofread this well, as you may noticed ;)
It is the go-to plugin for eCommerce on Wordpress. Highly recommended!
