Hello @Eddy81,

I am Gina from flareAI app - free sales machine, and I am here to provide assistance.

Here are some tips to help boost your Shopify business and increase sales.

1. Optimize your website
Make sure your website is user-friendly, visually appealing, and easy to navigate. Use high-quality product images and descriptions, and ensure your website is optimized for mobile devices.

2. Offer free shipping
Consider offering free shipping to incentivize customers to make a purchase. You can either offer free shipping on all orders or set a minimum purchase amount to qualify for free shipping.

3. Use social media
Use social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest to showcase your products and engage with potential customers. You can use paid advertising on these platforms to reach a wider audience.

4. Offer discounts and promotions
Offering discounts and promotions can help drive sales and encourage repeat purchases. You can offer discounts for first-time customers, bundle deals, or holiday promotions.

5. Focus on customer service
Providing excellent customer service can help build trust and loyalty with your customers. Make sure you respond to customer inquiries promptly and address any issues or concerns in a timely manner.

6. Use email marketing
Email marketing is a great way to stay in touch with your customers and promote your products. You can use email marketing to announce new products, offer exclusive discounts, and share customer reviews.

7. Collaborate with influencers
Partnering with influencers in your niche can help you reach a wider audience and build credibility. You can offer influencers free products in exchange for promoting your products on their social media channels.

Remember, building a successful Shopify business takes time and effort. Be patient, stay persistent, and continue to experiment with different marketing strategies until you find what works best for your business.

Hi @Eddy81,

I'm Richard from PageFly Landing Page Builder. Nice to talk!

If you want to improve sales for your Shopify store, firstly you need to be aware of the reasons why your store get traffics but no sales. There are some common reasons:

1. Your website is not compelling enough

To validate this, please answer these questions:

• Is your menu visible, well-navigated, and impactful?
• Is your hero banner on homepage impressive to keep visitors staying longer and engage them to explore?
• Are photos on the website clear and high-quality?
• Are CTAs on your website effective?
• Does your website provide the necessary information?
• Does the product description sound curated and compelling?
• …

2. Your store is not mobile-optimized

Because so many shoppers are accessing your online store via mobile devices, it makes sense to prioritize a mobile-friendly design

There are some tips for you to optimize mobile design:

• Create short and concise on mobile
• Arrange content in order of importance, make important ones as prominent as possible
• Make CTA big enough to click
• Keep things simple, clean, and distinct using white space
• Make navigation on mobile easy to understand

3. Your store's product page isn’t great

As you know, the product page is at the bottom of the funnel to get sales. So you need to keep visitors staying there as long as possible. 

You should focus on the below factors on the product page:

• Product images: clear, show in many scales, and include at least 4 product images
• Price: make it prominent
• Product description: write a compelling description that highlights and explains every feature of the product and answers all customer questions.
• Reviews: Have a star rating shown for each product and review widgets at the bottom of the product page
• CTA: Have just one max two CTAs on a product page

4. There might be a flaw in your checkout process

There are many reasons for the abandoned shopping cart. A lot of shoppers add products to their cart but stop because of the checkout process.

So make sure that you design a seamless checkout process, include necessary information, and don't make it too complicated to checkout.

After reviewing the website, these are some suggestions for you on what you should do to get more sales for your store:

1. Improve your website look

This is very important because no matter whether your store has the items the shoppers need, if your website is impressive enough, it can persuade shoppers to stay and explore.

2. Improve the user experience on the website

Make sure that your website runs fast and has a seamless checkout process.

3. Add tactics to keep visitors engaged

• You can add reviews/testimonials on your website to create trust.
• Upselling and Cross-selling is also good idea to increase AOV (Average order value) and have lifelong customers
• Use a customer loyalty program: Establishing a good relationship with your customers not only builds trust but also helps build a strong connection.

4. Get traffic through social media

You can use social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Titok to promote your products, or run ads. Add discount coupons or sales promotions such as Buy 1 Get 1 to trigger audiences.

5. Leverage email marketing

Build an email list and you can send newsletters, new product updates, offers,...

6. Customer service is king

Customers always have questions that we don't think about it yet. So make sure that you provide an instant support service with a dedicated, friendly, and gentle attitude.

Hope that our suggestions can help you find out ways to improve your conversion rate on your website and increase revenue. Happy selling!
