Hey @UC1 .

Thanks for reaching out.

I appreciate that you have provided us with your online store URL! Looking into your store, I noticed that you are using the announcement bar to inform your customers of a discount code - that is a great way to get your visitors browsing. You could potentially add a free shipping offer for orders that meet a specific amount.

You have beautiful products available on your store! What do you think about including a slideshow section as the first section on the online store? It can make the homepage more interactive and engaging to your visitors as well as strengthening your brand. For example, you could include your best seller or favorite product in the slides.

Add more social media links to the online store to show business legitimacy. Connecting your online store using the available Sales Channels to various social media platforms can help you reach a larger audience.

Let me know if you have any questions.
