In beginning stages of building, but looking for real constructive opinions on what I have so far. Please don't hold back and be honest and truthful. Not rude. Thank you in advance.

Hey Dailywatchspot,

The main menu should be shifted somehow rightwards in order to avoid the empty space on the top right of the header. The correct order of arrangement of elements in the main menu is as follows: Home, All Collections, Sale, About Us and Contact Us. Other major improvements to be made regarding store optimization are as follows:

1. I would love to see an Account login/sign-in system, as it is a must for an ecommerce.
2. Login, when added, should be placed beside the search bar, cart and currency converter for a more systematic header look.
3. The section containing the footer links should be named as "Quick Links".
4. Social links like Facebook and Instagram are a must in the footer for enhanced customer connectivity.
5. Multiple newsletters should not be used. Only a single is sufficient in the footer for the latest updates on discounts, promotions etc.
6. Instagram images and testimonials are a must for better brand promotion.
7. You can also install one of the most popular app Growwave which is all in one marketing platform that helps store owners increase conversions with ease.
8. Finally, I would also recommend replacing the default search with an advanced search like Sparq which allows synonyms, advanced custom tag filters, spelling correction, and other such features. Visitors with search are high intent users and their conversion rate is higher than normal users.
   Check out the features live here.
   You can use Sparq free trial for as many products in your store. After the trial period, you can enjoy with Sparq’s Free Starter Plan for upto 1000* products.

Wish the store improvement helps you gain more sales and conversions in the days to come.

Neha :)

Hi, 

Just a few ideas, hope they can be helpful for you:

- You might consider having fewer words in your "Sign up for Updates": Visitors might quickly go through that pop-up and turn it off without reading all the words and miss your offer. Just my impression but my eyes weren't drawn to the '$10 discount code'.

- Consider increasing Page speed on mobile: You can take a test on Google PageSpeed Insights. There's a detailed report, which even provides suggestions to increase page speed.

- About us page: it's maybe still under construction but the current one can't help me trust your brand. I suggest some human elements in the page, like a photo of your team in action, your aspirations, story or anything interesting about you. Consider adding more pieces of information that your visitors can relate to or information that your prospects are seeking to see.

- Contact us page: your current page is simple, which is good to start, but you can also add some personality into it, like a sentence to encourage your visitors to leave a message. Try this term 'best contact us pages' to get some inspirations.

Overall, you've done great work. Your site looks professional, neat and easy to navigate. Keep it up and good luck!

Hey @ttteec ,

You have a great store. For getting more sales and revenue you need to focus more on customer engagement and retention. You can start giving loyalty points to your customers on different activities like signing up, visiting a store, making a purchase, allowing for push notifications. This will help you to entice your customers and retain them. You can reward your customers in order to redeem those points.

Add a chatbot to make sure you never lose any of your customers. Every visitor can be your customer. 

You can add a countdown timer to create urgency for your promotions or offers with the countdown timer bar and motivate your customers to buy more from the store.  It helps in increasing sales.

Add a referral program. Referral marketing is a cost-effective way to gain new and loyal customers. Because people are social creatures, individuals that are referred to your company are much more likely to remain loyal customers.

If you would like to implement all these on your store I would suggest you to install AiTrillion.com. It has all the features in a single app and is a fully integrated app. It is all in one Shopify app. Plus you don't need to install multiple apps. You can check it out. I am sure you will find it useful.
