Hello my name is Danny from Crush Surfboards.

I'm just wondering if the kind folk of Shopify users could check out my store 

Tell me what I could improve to help my business grow 

I only started using Shopify a year ago roughly and things have been going good but would like other people's advice on how it's going thanks

Hi @CrushSurfboard , thank you for posting here!

It's great to hear from you, Danny! Shopify is a fantastic platform for online businesses, and it's great that you've been using it for the past year.

Here are some areas you might want to focus on to improve your store and boost growth:

• We advise merchants to work on getting more traffic to their store first, so that you have solid daily visitor numbers.
• Once you have done so, you can look into ways to increase your conversion rate optimisation for your store.
• One way to do so, mentioned above, is to look at using a call to action to guide your customers through to purchase.
• Consider the customer experience in your store and how you might use this to get your visitors to convert into spenders.
• If your store is new, build trust for your store. It's important to make your customer engaged and trust your store with SnapNoti FOMO Vistor Counter, which is an all-in-one FREE social proof app with a variety of pop-up notifications such as visitor counters, order counters, sales pop up, etc

Hello,

I'm Garcia from PageFly, a Shopify Advanced Page Builder App. I recently came across your store, Crush Surfboards, and I’d like to share some strategic suggestions to help increase your conversion rate, leveraging my experience in Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO).

1. Homepage Enhancements

• Showcase Diverse Products:

  • Your store offers a variety of products beyond surfboards. Consider featuring a curated collection list on the homepage to highlight these offerings. This will encourage customers to explore different categories and increase engagement.

• Featured Products Section:

  • Create a dedicated section for featured products that includes highlights and benefits for each item, along with pricing and ratings. This visibility can drive immediate interest and prompt purchases.

• Incorporate Testimonials:

  • Adding customer testimonials or reviews on the homepage can build trust and influence potential buyers. Consider a rotating carousel of positive feedback to showcase satisfied customers.

2. Product Page Improvements

• Optimize Product Descriptions:

  • Simplify or optimize product descriptions by highlighting key information. Use bold text for important details, making it easier for customers to scan and grasp essential features quickly.

• Additional Options:

  • Consider adding more customization options or accessories related to the product, enhancing the customer’s shopping experience and encouraging higher cart values.

3. Collection Page Features

• Secondary Hover Images:
  • Implement a secondary hover image for each product on the collection page. This allows customers to examine the product more closely before making a purchase decision, enhancing their confidence in the selection.

4. Visualize "Why Surf Good" Information

• Highlight Unique Selling Points:
  • The information presented on the "Why Surf Good" page should be visually enhanced and integrated into the homepage. Use engaging visuals or infographics to communicate the benefits of your products effectively. This approach will attract customer interest and encourage them to explore further.

Hope it helps! 

Best regards,
Anna

Hi @CrushSurfboard 

I checked out your store, and I’ve got some feedback that can help improve your business and take things to the next level. Since you've been on Shopify for about a year, you’ve probably nailed down some basics, but there are definitely a few things you can tweak to increase conversions and improve the overall shopping experience.

1. Homepage Optimization

• Hero Banner: Make sure the first thing people see clearly communicates what makes Crush Surfboards unique. A high-quality lifestyle image with a strong tagline and CTA like "Ride the waves with premium boards – Shop Now" can make a difference.
• Navigation: Keep it simple. Your menu should be easy to navigate, with clear categories like "Shop Surfboards," "Accessories," and "About Us." If you have too many options, it can overwhelm visitors.

2. Product Pages – Conversion Focused

• High-Quality Images & Videos: Surfboards are a big purchase, so customers need to see every angle. Add more high-resolution images and a short demo video showing the board in action.
• Detailed Descriptions: Make sure your descriptions cover the dimensions, materials, and performance benefits. Instead of just listing specs, tell a story about who the board is perfect for.
• Customer Reviews: If you don’t have them yet, start collecting and displaying them. Social proof builds trust.

3. Speed & Mobile Optimization

• Run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights and Shopify’s built-in performance tools. If your store loads slowly, consider compressing images and minimizing unnecessary apps. Most of your audience will likely visit from mobile, so check that buttons, menus, and product pages look clean and load fast.

4. SEO & Content Strategy

• Product Titles & Meta Descriptions: Optimize for SEO by including keywords people actually search for (e.g., “Best high-performance shortboard for beginners”).
• Blog Content: If you haven’t already, create blog posts on topics like “How to Choose the Right Surfboard for Your Style” or “Surfboard Care Tips.” This helps drive organic traffic and positions you as an expert.

5. Trust & Brand Identity

• If you haven’t already, add trust badges (e.g., "Secure Checkout," "Fast Shipping") on your homepage and checkout.
• Make sure your About Us page tells a compelling story about Crush Surfboards. Why did you start? What makes your boards different? People love supporting passionate brands with a mission.

6. Email Marketing & Retention

• If you’re not already using email marketing, set up automated flows with Klaviyo or Shopify Email. A Welcome Series and Abandoned Cart Emails can help bring back potential customers.
• Offer exclusive deals to email subscribers or loyalty program members to encourage repeat purchases.

7. Social Proof & Ads

• Leverage social media (Instagram, TikTok) with user-generated content. Encourage customers to post and tag you using your boards.
• If you run paid ads, test dynamic retargeting campaigns to bring back visitors who didn’t convert.

These are just a few key areas to improve, but you’re already on a solid path. If you need specific help with anything, feel free to ask, and I’ll try my best to support you.

Best regards,
