Not getting enough traffic nor sales

Topic summary

A store owner is struggling with low traffic and minimal sales despite daily social media posting. They suspect website design or content issues may be hindering conversions, with only close friends making purchases so far.

Key Issues Identified:

  • Design Problems: Misaligned sections, low-quality product images (appearing as casual phone photos), and a header that’s too tall with hard-to-read logo text
  • Branding Concerns: The site doesn’t convey the intended luxury feel; generic elements (like the cart icon) resemble dropshipping stores
  • Header Recommendations: Switch to white/transparent background, simplify logo, reduce height, make sticky, and use a more premium cart icon

Suggested Solutions:

  • Implement retargeting ads to re-engage previous visitors
  • Improve mobile responsiveness and add more whitespace around products
  • Enhance product descriptions with clear benefits and trust signals (reviews, testimonials)
  • Use analytics tools (Google Analytics, Hotjar) to track user behavior and identify friction points
  • Consider paid advertising beyond organic social media posts
  • Add promotional offers or loyalty programs to incentivize purchases
  • Analyze competitors to understand market positioning

Status: Discussion remains open with multiple experts providing detailed feedback. No resolution yet, awaiting implementation of suggested changes.

Hi, I’m Wayne from Akohub. We have been working with many brands to run online stores. I have viewed your website and hope our expertise can help you.

The theme design of your site is clean and inviting, and you implemented a reviews section, loyalty program widget, and CTA in the hero section which is good for user experience. However, some parts will need to be fixed.

First this part is not aligned, so I would strongly suggest to modify for a better overview.

Some images need a better quality one. For example, this recent one looks like some random picture taken from a phone, which will affect the order.

Furthermore, I will recommend launching retargeting ads which can significantly enhance your conversion rates by re-engaging visitors who have previously shown interest in your website. By displaying relevant ads to users as they browse other sites, you can remind them of their initial interest, effectively nudging them back toward making a purchase.

To effectively implement retargeting campaigns, I would recommend our Ako Marketing app, which is designed to launch tailored retargeting campaigns based on your audience’s specific behaviors and preferences. This approach helps recapture potential customers and builds brand awareness, ensuring that your business remains top-of-mind during their decision-making process.
