Hello fellow entrepreneurs, I have finally started up the Shopify decor store that I have big plans for. It has been launched for about 2 weeks with only 2 sales. Other than ads, I am creating a budget for this strategy, what other avenues could I use to increase traffic to my store? The site is MinixCor.com if anyone could kindly provide some criticisms or advise that woudl be greatly appreciated. Additionally I am fearful of Zendrop and Aliexpress shipping time they are a bit inconsistent.
Making some viral videos on TIKTOK is the best way of marketing, other than FB, GOOGLE everything needs to be explored by yourself
Hi @Braneva45
Congratulations on opening a new store and Welcome to Shopify Community. Here are some suggestions that you can work on. I hope it would help.
Make Menu Sticky**.** Make your online shop more user-friendly by keeping navigation fixed and remaining visible in the same position as the user moves around the website. Right now, the menu bar on the head of the store disappears when the user scrolls down which is not convenient.
About Us section. Showing your store visitors that you are real by putting your information, team, or working process photos will add credibility to your store.
Add Favicon. Favicon adds legitimacy to your website and helps boost your online branding as well as trust from potential consumers. Favicons are an immediate visual marker for the website which enables easy and quick identification for webpage visitors especially when a lot of tabs are open.
Add Wishlist. Offering a Wishlist is an effective way to reduce shopping cart abandonment and fulfill sales from customers who showed intent but didn’t purchase. If the items from the Wishlist haven’t been purchased, automated emails will be sent out as a reminder.
Implement a Rewards/Loyalty system. It will help you to strengthen customer relationships and increase repeat purchases. Motivate your purchasers by setting points for leaving reviews, following you on social media accounts, referring to friends, etc. Gained points can be exchanged for free delivery, present or discount.
Reviews to demonstrate. I strongly advise adding testimonials/reviews to products for building customer trust and social proof. Try to collect reviews from your first sales. You can motivate customers to leave testimonials through Loyalty and Rewards program.
Good luck with your store and I hope it will help.
