Why is my online store not attracting customers?

Good day.

 

I have had my store, www.figtreestore.co.za for about two and a half months now. I get almost no traffic, even after spending quite a few bucks on FB ads and google ads. What is wrong with my store? Please check it out and advise what I could change. Is it a UI problem? Prices? Products? Shipping?

 

Any and all feedback is appreciated no matter how critical! 

 

Thanks!

Hi there,

 

You can remove the margin-bottom probably by lowering the margin on the header section settings since it shows the value is loaded in via the index file.

The buttons you can make outlined in the theme settings.

Hi there,

 

A couple of things I notice first. I see a big white bar at the top of the page, and then a HUGE image and no text what so ever. I would try to make the image much smaller, remove the white bar and try to make the page more product focused. I have to scroll about 70% before I even see a product. People will simply not do that. 

 

Also for your product menu item, make all the collections seperate menu items and put them after the "home" menu item. 

 

Also the product page has a white background on the buy now button with just some green text. I had to look for where I could actually buy the product because I didnt see the greent text properly.

 

Hope this feedback helps!

Thank you Thom. How do I get rid of that White bar?

 

And also, how do I make that button to be outlined?

Hello @DIETER01,

 

This is Gina from flareAI app helping Shopify merchants get $6Million+ in sales from Google Search, on autopilot.


I've taken a look at your store and found there are quite a few things which if added can increase sales.


1. You can add testimonials on the home page to make the store look more professional. Testimonials allow your satisfied customers to step forward and address the questions and objections that fill the minds of your prospective buyers for you.
2. Add social media for the store to increase the traffic. By linking to your social media profiles, you can drive traffic to your social media pages, increasing your followers and potential customers.
3. A FAQ would be useful to provide quick information to help customers make a purchasing decision and also to reduce the time your employees need to answer simple questions.
4. Add an "Add to Cart" button which will simplify the purchasing process for consumers, improving their customer experience.
5. Add more payment options other than PayPal which will be convenient for the customer to purchase products.

6. Add About Us page which is a reflection of the purpose and personality of the business.
7. Crafting an ideal SEO product title and URL can aid search engines in comprehending the nature of your merchandise and boost traffic to your website. Therefore, it's advisable to maintain a unique and specific product title and URL.

8. Through consistent and high-quality blogging, you can improve your website's search engine rankings, drive more traffic to your site, and establish your brand as a trustworthy and knowledgeable source in your industry. By focusing on creating valuable content that addresses your readers' needs, you can build a loyal following and boost your online influence.
9. Buy now look like a normal text. Make it look like a button (with borders)
