Why am I not getting sales?

[AsiaGoss]

Hey I started my shop not too long ago and I thought after I got done with it I was going to get  sales but I haven’t gotten a sale yet and I really wanna grow this business the best way I can but I don’t know what could really be the problem

Hi @AsiaGoss 👋  Self awareness is key,  a store isn't some magic money maker just because you built it doesn't mean anyone is buying.

Do the work and walk the graveyard of all that asked the same cliché question over and over oblivious in their lack of self awareness to all others that also asked the same thing over and over ad infinitum.

Do not consume glossy feel good answers, dig deep and find the patterns of long term survivors and solutions that solved real business problems not meaningless aesthetics.

What is the actual business plan.

Good Hunting.

First things first, I have to agree with he above shared responses that a store isn't a magic money making machine and their detailed responses but a simpler solution for you might lie in the time-tested marketing strategies like SEO or Paid Ads. Paid Ads can bring instant traffic to your site and SEO creates a long-term foundation for your site which will get you visitors in the longer-run. Although you may learn both the techniques, they usually encompass a wide range of actions that needs to be meticulously  executed and monitored to ensure you are not burning your time and money.

If you need any help with the following, feel free to reach out, would love to share my insights.

My question is what have you done to generate sales? Please let us know your traffic-building strategy. Also, share your URL if you want more feedback.

Hi AsiaGoss, 

Can you share your stores URL so we can have a better understanding of what you sell and if you need to change certain aspects on your website. 

To have a successful e-commerce business, you have to invest in marketing strategies. I would highly recommend using Google Shopping Ads as a starting point. They have free product listings. All you need is a google merchant center account, a google ads account and a shopify product feed management software (like AdNabu or you can use the google & youtube app as well). 

Let me know if you need help setting up Google Shopping Ads, or if you need more tips on marketing.

Hey there @AsiaGoss it's always beneficial in times like these to remind yourself that the e-commerce journey is a marathon, not a sprint my friend. You’ll learn a lot along the way. I have two main questions now

1) What’s your product based on and what are the marketing strategies you currently employ to share it to the world?

2) What mediums or social media are you focused on sharing it through? 
Also, if you could share your store URL link that will be very helpful as well!

Hi @AsiaGoss 

If you're not getting sales, here are the likely reasons and solutions:

1. Low Traffic: Ensure you're driving traffic to your store through ads, social media, SEO, and content marketing.
2. Product/Market Fit: Verify that your products meet customer demand. Analyze competitors and ensure your prices are competitive.
3. Website Experience: Make sure your site is visually appealing, user-friendly, mobile-optimized, and fast-loading.
4. Trust Issues: Add reviews, testimonials, clear refund policies, and secure payment badges to build trust.
5. Marketing: Use targeted ads, email marketing, and social media to promote your store. Highlight promotions and unique value propositions.

Test, analyze results, and adjust strategies to see what works.

I hope this can answer your question.
