Hi, @ralgiftsolution!

I have taken a look at your website and only have one suggestion -

• Change the colour of a couple of text sections on your home page to make it more clearer for customers to see - It's important to have your entire store user-friendly so it helps to have all content on the site easy to read and will cause less confusion amongst your customers.

Other than the above, you have sufficient information throughout the website regarding your products, shipping, and FAQs. The website is easy to navigate and all website basics covered.

What are your current marketing strategies? I would recommend taking a look into implementing a Social Media Marketing Strategy as this will help create multiple sources of traffic to your store and build customer engagement with your brand. We have a list of Social Media Marketing courses that you can take for free with Shopify Learn.

Hello @ralgiftsolution 

Hope you are doing good. I went through your store and here are few suggestions.

Add a Favicon, it helps to find your store when customer had multiple tabs in their browser.

Organize header section with minimizing empty space and also work on font color.

Make header sticky for easy navigation. It helps customer to access menu at any time they want.

Make sticky header bit smaller so that the rest of the page flows better.

Improve hero banner (as text on the banner is blended in the background). It gives good impression when customer lands on the homepage.

Improve Blog page, Blog posting will allow you to show your followers a personal side of your business. In this way you can engage with Existing and New customers.

You can promote your products with word of mouth strategy. Boost your sales with the app from the shopify app store   which helps to increase your sales.

There is no terms and conditions checkbox at checkout. I suggest you to install an app from shopify app store which provides 'I agree to the Terms and Conditions' before checkout .As it makes easy for the customer to read your terms and policies.

You can also sell your products on Etsy marketplace as it is very good platform to sell unique, handmade and Vintage goods . If you are already selling on Etsy store consider our Etsy Integration app in the shopify app store. Etsy is a Huge marketplace for selling creative goods such as art & collectibles, crafts & supplies, jewellery &accessories and more,  if you have any unique/handmade/vintage goods in your store, you can give further exposure to your products.

Hi @ralgiftsolution 

It's PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App here and I just checked your store and there's a few things I'd like to share how you can make it better. I hope that these comments can be somewhat beneficial to you in improving your site performance. But first, you can check out this Ultimate Checklist on Best Practices To Optimize Your Conversion Rate  .

I/ Homepage

1. Make the Announcement Bar sticky. I understand that you have a very tempting offer to your customers, but you don't want them to ignore them right? A repetitive display of your offer might pique interest from your customers and act as a plus when they're considering purchasing the product.

2. Image with text overlay. I understand that you got a font and font color for your brand, but they can be illegible when put on a colorful banner. You should add some overlay color for the background or put the text into a solid text box. 

3. You should condense your content throughout the page. On average, visitors would only pay a few seconds to scan your page to understand what you're selling. If you explain too much or the text is too lengthy, the chances are they would bounce. Paragraph should only be in 2-3 lines, and you can do some styling to make the key idea pop.

II/ Collection Page

1. Styling the Product Price to be more prominent. The price should be highly visible and that users don’t have to search for it — it should be visible immediately at a glance on the product page or below the Product Title

2. Add average ratings for each product. You should include both the user rating average and number of ratings on the product list items. This is one of the crucial elements for users’ purchasing decisions. They will rely on both to decide whether they should explore further a product.

Overall, this is a nicely put layout and you must've invested a lot of time and effort into this. If you need any changes, you can always opt for PageFly Page Builder   to build more customized and high-converting website. If you find this comment helpful, please give it a like and mark as solution. Wish you all the best!
