My website's conversion rate is very bad (near 0,05%)

Hi,

I’m reaching out to seek your insights and expertise regarding a big issue: my store isn’t converting sales…

Here is my store link.

To provide some context, here are some classic conversion optimization techniques I’ve already implemented:

  1. Streamlined Checkout Process

  2. Good Product Images and Descriptions

  3. Clear CTAs

  4. Mobile Optimization

  5. Trust Signals

  6. Fast Loading Times

  7. Branding

  8. Upselling and Cross-selling

  9. Email Marketing Campaigns

  10. Social Proof (Reviews)

  11. Cart Abandonment Recovery Emails

  12. Popups

  13. Free Shipping Thresholds

  14. Clear Return and Refund Policy

  15. Social Media Advertising

  16. and maybe I forget others!

My CTRs from ads aren’t that bad, from 0,8% to 2,5% and I’m still in testing stage (only 10 days of ads testing).

Could you kindly share your thoughts on why my store might be struggling to convert sales effectively? Additionally, if there are any areas I may have overlooked or additional steps I could take to improve conversion rates, I’m all ears.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Hi @AC281 ,

This is Kate from PageFly - Shopify Landing Page Builder app.

You’re doing a great job with your store. I’ve observed your proactive efforts to boost sales.

Regarding general tips for successful selling, some people might advocate solely for ads, while others suggest that developing a long-term and consistent brand is the better path. In my expert opinion, combining both ads and brand building are excellent strategies. Here are some recommendations to get started:

  • Initiate with Ads: Ads are an effective and fast way to spread awareness of your brand, especially when you are new to the market. It’s important to focus on the time fram, set an appropriate period for your campaigns, and test various products/designs to identify the winners.
  • Leverage Other Marketing Tactics: Once you have some winning items, shift some focus to long-term strategies. Consider investing time in producing engaging content like blog posts, SEO-optimized articles, lookbooks, and active social media engagement.
  • Promote Winning Products with Ads: Continue to make ads for your best-selling products to sustain momentum and increase visibility.

Regarding eCommerce development and CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization), I’d like to offer a few suggestions to enhance your conversion rates:

HOMEPAGE

1. Adhere to the design hierarchy

Implementing a clear typographic and color hierarchy enhances readability, allowing visitors to easily locate essential information. Please pay attention to text size and formatting consistency across headings. For example, they are all heading 2, but they have different font sizes:

2. Highlight your brand benefits

You can capture a new audience’s attention by establishing brand authority and highlighting the benefits of your products. You have implemented the benefit section, however it can be improved to drive more attention.

Consider placing more emphasis on free shipping & returns worked because these practical benefits were the next barrier to purchase. Moreover, you can place it at more appealing place, such as under the hero banner. For example:

3. Add more text to improve storytelling

While visiting your store, I noticed your excellent use of storytelling in your copy, particularly phrases like “spoil your furry friend” and “pets come first.” These are fantastic! I recommend extending this engaging approach throughout your homepage. Additionally, consider adding more descriptive text before the review section to maintain visitor engagement.

:key: The essential process involves testing (ads,…) → selecting the top-performing item → scaling up based on those results.

You are doing great, please continue your excellent work and remain patient. Hope my opinions can help you in your journey.

Best regards,

Kate | PageFly
