Hello there @DWL there’s really no other way to do this than to-

  1. Optimize your store to the fullest possible

  2. Market your products in a way that customers get to actually visit and experience the optimized store

On the first point, you need to ensure you have features such as customer reviews, FAQs and well-defined product categories.
For the second point, you need to showcase your products and entire brand across social media, e-mails, and even blogs.

Hi @DWL

If your website isn’t converting visitors into customers, you don’t have a traffic problem—you have a sales funnel problem. The easiest way to boost sales is by removing friction at every step of the buying process.

Ask your self these questions:

  • Is your checkout process too long? Studies show that 17% of cart abandonments happen because checkout is too complicated. If customers have to jump through hoops, they’ll abandon their cart for sure.
  • Are you offering social proof? Most consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.

A few small tweaks—like adding trust badges, reducing form fields, or simplifying navigation—can instantly increase conversions. Don’t assume customers will figure things out—make the path to purchase effortless.

Also, use email marketing strategically—cart abandonment emails alone can recover 10-15% of lost sales. Finally, test your load times regularly because a slow site can be disastrous for conversions.

Hope this can help you.

Best regards

In order to get more sales from your store, start by attracting more users (potential customers) to your site. Use SEO and identify high-ranking keywords for your products that can be useful for writing articles. And why blogs? That will help you build some topical authority and boost your organic traffic.

For eg: If you sell handmade jewelry, write blogs about “best gifts for her” or “trendy rings for 2025.”

Apart from that, you can create accounts on social media channels like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest and start creating social media content for your store. Just don’t forget to add your storefront link to your bio, as that will help users to easily visit your website and browse your products.

Apart from that, do ensure your product pages are optimized with clear photos, simple descriptions, and reviews. If you sell clothes, show size charts and real customer photos.

For a start, you can use the above mentioned strategies. Hopefully it helps you!

Thanks.
