We have been struggling with acquiring users, any suggestions would be highly helpful.

We built a tool that allows you to watch prices of products you love, when prices drop we notify you via email or Facebook. We support over 350 stores including Amazon, Zara, Asos, etc. Give it a spin at www.pricify.com

Do give us some advice on how you think we can acquire customers.

I plan on writing a follow up post with details and ideas on how to acquire users. I'd just say think outside the box. Particularly when it comes to writing. Don't just write for your own blog. Guest post with quality, useful content for other blogs (with readers). Also, always reference your product but you don't have to write directly about it.

I like your site. How do you support so many stores? Did you write web scrapers for each? Or are you using APIs?

Have you tried a ShowHN post? Relevant reddit channels?
