Some say forum using is their hobby and sometimes they get knowledge from fellow users too.

Yes forums can help to increase your shopping cart sales because we know that people who do online shopping always use forums for expressing their views.
And that is the best place to market our products or services and interact with those products’ users directly. Mow come to 2nd question how marketers will do that?
Process of finding and creating profiles on forums:
First marketers will analyze your business and products. Marketing Company will find reputed forums directly related to that industry. After finding and selection of right forums Marketing Company will do registration with your business name. Or they will use a dummy profile which may represent our business there. Marketing team will contact to people in forum discussions and will explain functions of our products or services.
Pre causations in forum marketing:
Marketing Team/company will not run those profiles forever so you need to collect all details of those profiles.
When Marketing Company handover all details to you, you will need to use those forums on regular basis such as use them on weekly basis.
Never ever spam any of those forums because reputed forums always deal strictly with spammers. If ever you will find any member on forum who shows interests to contact you directly or indirectly. You should make contact with him/her through PM or email.
