Sure thing
The great thing about a Blog is that it gives you a couple of options in having visitors leap onto your main site - for whatever page you like.
You could make a small banner and place it on the Blog sidebar, the only thing about this is that you are relying on the visitor to spot the banner and get interested to click.
Now the best way is to add a link into specific posts on certain days. So lets say you add a page on your main site for a specific product that your selling - write a review about the product on your blog with a direct link to product page on your main site. This way if the reader likes the sound of the product he/she will be tempted to click the link on the post to see more on your site and get their credit card out to buy the product
When I add a page to my site I'll go over to my Blog and write a little of the same topic posting a direct link to my new page.
Your were spot on to ask this question as your blog will always find new readers either from Search Engines or RSS feeds so you do need to tell them about this main site of yours.
Just a tip you may want to consider - With your main site start building techincal fixes pages related to the products your selling. The shoe is on the other foot with me, I offer fixes and need to start offering products
