Hi @AllAgeGames,

I've spent a few minutes on your store and I must say that it looks great. The contrast is good with an attractive badge Free Shipping, I'd love to buy one if I own a Playstation. By the way, I noticed some glitches that you can easily fix to improve visitor experience on your store.

 

The content here should be left aligned to increase legibility & make it easier for your visitors to read.

You may consider starting to build your brand awareness by adding a favicon for your store. It will definitely make your store look more professional. You can quickly check Shopify guide here (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/using-themes/change-the-layout/theme-settings/add-favicon)

The price here is pretty small compared to its surrounding objects. It should be bigger so your visitors can scan the price of products faster.

It seems like visitors can't write a review here. How would they know if the rating is real? I encourage you to add an area for visitors to write a review or to see the previous reviews of each product.

This image here looks kinda blurry, I believe it should be fixed too.

Furthermore, I think there are a lot of things you can experiment with your new store. I highly recommend you to take a look at other competitors in the industry to see if we've missed anything. I've found one reference here, hope it will help (https://www.dkoldies.com/)

Wish you get more sales in the future, please do let me know if you have any questions 😊

Hello @AllAgeGames, Here is the feedback for your store:-

1. Home Page should flow better. I would recommend setting it out like this. 

-Slideshow Image with a call to action button it.

-Collection List  

-Popular Products ( 4-8 Max ) I would only use 4

-Testimonials

-Newsletter sign up box

2. Add favicon. It adds legitimacy to your site and helps boost your online branding as well as trust from potential consumers. Add social media links to build a social media presence. 

3. You should maximize engagement on your store. It will help you to capture visitors and convert them into customers and result in more sales. Add a chatbot. Give customers instant answers 24/7 with the help of the live ChatBot. 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.

4. Add a web push notification. It turns visitors into subscribers and subscribers into customers. It can be sent even when customers are not on your store and bring back the losing customer to your store.

5. 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.

5. Add an announcement bar to highlight important information that you don't want your customers to miss out on.

To implement the marketing tools on your store. I would recommend you to install AiTrillion.com. It is 'All in One' Shopify app that has all the essential features in a single app and is a fully integrated app.  Plus you don't need to install multiple apps. You can check it out. I am sure you will find it useful.

About changing the price size in collections how do i do that to make it look larger as you said it is really small and hard to see. With the reviews do i add an app? to do that cheers mate appreciate it

Welcome to the world of Shopify, All Age Games!

I really enjoy the theme of your store. It’s simple, straight-forward and clear. In my opinion, you’re already ahead of the game here. 

A few things to consider right off the bat:

1. Prepare for an international audience and mention the currency. Yes, it would be obvious that it’s AUD since you’re in Australia. However, when you’re dealing with international visitors, clarity is key. It would be nice to automatically adjust to the visitor’s geographic currency as well. Or at the very least, include the currency for each product page.
2. Expand your shipping information. You mention nothing of international shipping on your shipping page. I also was a bit confused why you would include “shipping calculated at checkout” on product pages if you only provide free shipping to Australia. Make it crystal clear to all your visitors what to expect for shipping costs (and time?) before they get to the shopping cart. 
3. Promote those reviews: Right now, the lack of star rankings give me pause and makes me a little nervous that you aren’t legit. I would suggest adding a product review request in your purchase confirmation email and following up with your customers after the purchase to check in on the purchase and (again) ask for a product review. 
4. Give your social media some love. On every product page, you have the same “About us” messaging, but your link to your Facebook page isn’t working. Use social icons to help get people to your social accounts. 
5. Are you going to build out more options? When I look at your “About” page, I see so many more gaming system options. However, your website only offers two. Especially as a Nintendo fan myself, I would love to see more options available online. You could ask a poll to see if anyone is interested in buying from these other gaming systems or at least help you prioritize getting the inventory online. 
6. Do you have a logo? Right now it looks just like text, which may be your actual logo. It’s unclear. If you have a logo, use it! 

It’s all going to come down to your visitors and what they think. In my experience, your visitors will be the ones to tell you what works or not. I think heatmaps would really help your store. Heatmaps show you exactly where your visitors are clicking (or not), including on drop-downs and pop-ups.

Heatmaps will help you evaluate your “Account” link. I’m not sure what that means or how it benefits the customer (Can they buy without creating an account? Why would they want to login to it?). If your heatmaps show very little activity on it, you may want to rethink how you position it on your website. 

Don’t forget about giving visitors ways to contact you! Right now your only method is a contact phone. Phone numbers tend to scare people away from submitting it, so I would highly suggest different methods. I usually suggest having phone, email and chat connections available.

Chat would let you connect with visitors and ask them to chat if you see that they’re getting stuck. If someone’s lingering on your shipping page and from outside of Australia, you can ask them to chat to answer their shipping questions.Visitors love it, and you will love it too.

Lucky Orange has heatmaps, polls and chat (among other features) bundled into each free trial and plans. You don’t need a credit card to give it a try. If you decide to move to a paid plan, it’s just $10/month. 

All Age Games, you really have a great start here. Good luck with your store.

Cheers!
Danny

Thanks mate appreciate it dearly, At the moment we are only selling within Australia. But are subject to one day go international. With how you said about "bit confused why you would include “shipping calculated at checkout” on product pages" i also believe what your saying is VERY correct how do i go about editing that bit out i have looked for a while to find a way but have not found a solution in doing so, could you explain how to do it for me? please.

About building out we are deffs going ahead in adding more platforms to the collections which will include Nintendo etc. I have updated my logo back to my original one. Do you think its to plain? appreciate your time in replying with such awesome detail. You have a friend in me mate cheers

Hey All Age Games.

Everything from the favicon to the Central banner looks quite professional. The checkout process is clean as well. Apart from it, Other keen observations about store improvement are as follows:

1. "About All-Age Games and Contact All-Age Games" can be replaced by "About Us" and "Contact Us" respectively to be more precise.
2. "Attractive discounts or Free shipping" offers can be easily highlighted by using a unique header template.
3. Better social connectivity can be facilitated by adding some social links like Instagram, Twitter, Linked in, etc to the site footer.
4. "Brand promotion" is better possible only if you add Instagram images to the site footer.
5. Decisiveness of the customer can be improved if you add product reviews below each item.
6. Modification of logo is required by changing font style and adding an impression of graphics as well.
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 performs well in the days to come.

Neha :)
