Just opened my store. Have a TikTok ad going with a 6.46% click thru rate, but no sales.  Could there be something I didn't do correctly in my store that is preventing people from completing sales?

Hello @Boundless924 ,

It's great to see you're getting such a strong click-through rate (6.46%) on your TikTok ads—this shows you're attracting attention! Let’s work on converting that into sales by improving a few key areas of your store.

1/ Targeting the Right Audience on TikTok
TikTok is a massive platform with a wide range of users, so it's crucial to refine your audience targeting. It looks like your ads are attracting clicks, but without conversions, it’s possible that your messaging or targeting may not be aligned with your ideal customer. Have you defined a clear customer profile or persona? Ensure that your ad content speaks directly to their needs. You’re not just selling products—you’re offering solutions, so it’s important that your ads focus on that value.

2/ First Impressions and Store Design
When I visited your store, it wasn’t immediately clear what your niche is. The store design feels basic, still using Shopify’s default theme and banner. Customizing your store’s appearance will help establish a strong brand identity and build trust. For example, creating a more focused banner that showcases your main products can instantly communicate your store’s purpose. Additionally, your store name, "Boundless Brilliance," while creative, doesn’t give potential buyers a clear idea of what you sell. Consider tweaking it or adding a tagline that clarifies your product offerings.

3/ Product Offering: Too Unfocused
Currently, your store is offering a mix of very different product categories (waterproof bags, desk accessories, plant pots, pillows, Halloween items). While variety can be appealing, offering too many unrelated products can confuse potential buyers. A more focused product range will make it easier for customers to understand what you specialize in and why they should buy from you. For example, if you want to focus on seasonal items like Halloween products, try creating a themed store that clearly reflects that.

4/ Product Page Optimization
Your product pages could be optimized to better convert visitors into buyers. Here are a few key improvements to consider:
- Product Titles: Shorten and optimize your product titles for better SEO and clarity. For example, instead of “Waterproof Bag with Adjustable Straps and Multiple Pockets,” simplify it to “Waterproof Multi-Pocket Bag.”
- Product Descriptions: Focus on the benefits of each product rather than just listing features. Why should a customer buy this item? How will it solve a problem or improve their life?
- Customer Reviews: There are no reviews on your product pages, which can be a significant trust factor for new visitors. Adding even a few reviews or testimonials will help build credibility.
- Missing Policies: Important details like shipping fees, return policies, and guarantees are missing. Shoppers are less likely to complete a purchase if they don’t have clarity on these details.

5/ Lack of Urgency or Incentives
There’s no sense of urgency on your product pages. Using urgency tactics, such as limited-time offers, countdown timers, or showing stock scarcity, can help drive quicker purchasing decisions. Consider offering first-time buyer discounts or highlighting free shipping options to entice visitors to complete their purchase.

6/ Branding and Visual Appeal
The current design of your store feels generic and doesn't communicate a clear brand identity. A strong brand helps build trust and keeps visitors engaged. Customizing your store's design, creating a logo, and using consistent colors will help establish a more professional and trustworthy feel. For example, if you’re focusing on seasonal products like Halloween items, the design should reflect that theme to create a more engaging experience.

7/ A/B Testing and Analytics
I recommend using A/B testing to experiment with different elements of your store, such as product descriptions, images, or page layouts. This will help you identify which changes lead to higher engagement and conversions. Additionally, check that your TikTok conversion tracking is properly set up to monitor key actions like add-to-carts and checkout initiations. This data will give you insights into where potential customers are dropping off.

By focusing on these improvements—targeting the right audience, optimizing your product pages, narrowing your product range, and building a strong brand identity—you should see better results. Keep an eye on your traffic data and make incremental changes. If you need more guidance, feel free to reach out again—I’m here to help!

You can test yourself and see if the payment is working, if it does then its working 🙂

What you need to do is use google analytics and see what the users from tiktok is doing after landing on your site, are you closing the page as soon as they come to your site, are they navigating to any product.

 

In case they navigate to a product, check if they are scrolling down to product details or not.

 

You need to improve your site if they are not buying.

 

Also check from which country they are, add chat to your page so they can write to you etc.

Hi @Boundless924 ,

There could be several reasons why you're getting clicks on your ads but not seeing conversions. Here are a few key points to consider:

  1. Your website may not appear authentic or trustworthy to visitors.
  2. You might not be targeting the right audience for your products.
  3. Your site design might lack the necessary elements to encourage visitors to make a purchase.

If possible, please share your website URL, and I’ll be happy to audit it for you. Additionally, if you're in need of a branded Shopify theme, do let me know if you're planning to upgrade your website.

Best Regards,
