Shop review

Topic summary

New Shopify store (launched mid-June) reports ~2,500 visitors and zero sales; seeks design/pricing feedback.

Branding and trust:

  • Expand About Us with clear details on the donation/charity cause to tell a compelling story and build credibility.
  • Plan: owner will create a small blog; already running ads on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram.

Site and product experience:

  • Strengthen homepage value proposition and unique selling points (USPs); improve navigation and search.
  • Product pages: richer descriptions, multiple high‑res images, clear pricing/discounts.
  • Checkout: simplify steps; add trust badges, secure payment icons, and reviews.

Marketing and conversions:

  • Improve traffic quality via Google Analytics (analyze sources and drop‑offs).
  • Use limited-time offers, email capture/marketing, and social proof (reviews, customer photos).
  • Consider an on-cart discount app to surface coupons, bulk/minimum-order deals, and cross‑sells.

UX enhancements (with images provided as examples):

  • Bigger hero section with strong CTA (call to action), add favicon, tasteful pop-up for offers, and FAQ/Contact Us (FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions).
  • Shipping: prefer showing a delivery date range over vague estimates.

Latest update: clarification to display an estimated delivery window (e.g., 15/7–23/7). Status: ongoing; no reported sales yet.

I have only just started last month and would appreciate an open review of my shop.

also i know it is early days but until now had around 2500 visitors since June 16th but not one single sales. I know prices are probably a huge factor but I would have expected at least 1 sale.
Can anyone see if it looks ok?

Hi @DesignYourDay !

Your products and store look great. Though, I noticed about the donation and about us section, I highly suggest that you talk more about the donation or charity campaign that you are promoting on your About Us page. Let the customer know what charity you are donating for and what cause. You will attract more customers by giving them a story. Try to make an advertisement as well on different platforms such as Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram.

Hi @DesignYourDay

After reviewing your Shopify store, several factors may contribute to the lack of sales despite having 2500 visitors. Here’s my review:

1. Homepage Layout:

The homepage should immediately capture attention with a clear value proposition. Ensure that your unique selling points (USPs) are prominently displayed. You can use high-quality images and engaging banners to improve the visual appeal. Make sure your navigation menu is clear and intuitive. Your categories and products can be more easily accessible. Ensure your search bar is visible and functional to help users find products quickly.

2. Product Pages:

Provide detailed and engaging product descriptions. Highlight the benefits and features of each product. Use high-resolution images with zoom functionality. Multiple images showing different angles can help users make informed decisions. Clearly display prices and any discounts. Consider offering competitive pricing strategies to attract customers.

3. Checkout Process:

Ensure the checkout process is simple and streamlined. Reduce the number of steps to minimize cart abandonment. Display trust badges, secure payment icons, and customer reviews to build credibility.

4. Traffic Quality:

Ensure that your marketing efforts are reaching the right audience. Analyze your traffic sources and optimize your campaigns for better targeting. Use tools like Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and identify drop-off points.

5. Promotional Strategies:

Introduce limited-time offers, discounts, and promotions to encourage purchases. Capture visitor emails and use email marketing to nurture leads and promote products.

6. Social Proof:

Encourage customers to leave reviews and testimonials. Display them prominently on your product pages and homepage. Showcase customer photos and stories to build a community around your brand.

7. Pricing:
Compare your prices with competitors. If your prices are higher, justify them with unique features or superior quality. Ensure that the perceived value of your products matches the pricing. Use storytelling and branding to enhance perceived value.

The Coupon Discount on Cart app can address several issues and improve the shopping experience. How?

  1. Displaying available discounts directly on the cart page can motivate customers to complete their purchases.

  2. Allowing customers to apply coupons easily without having to search for them can reduce friction and increase conversion rates.

  3. Offer discounts for bulk purchases or minimum order values to encourage higher spending.

  4. Highlight complementary products that can be added to the cart for a discount, promoting cross-selling.

  5. Providing clear and upfront information about available discounts can enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

  6. Tailor discounts based on customer behavior and purchase history for a personalized shopping experience.

Hi @DesignYourDay ,

Thanks for reaching out to the community. This is MooseDesk - All-in-one Customer Support and Helpdesk Solution for your Start-up

Congratulations on your new store! I can see it is well-designed and has quite enough essential details. However, if you are having a problem with converting visitors into shoppers, here are a few of my recommendations to fix it:

1. Optimize the look of your website

  • Make the hero section more appealing

A visually stunning hero section with a bold CTA can direct visitors towards the next step in the conversion funnel. I suggest resizing your hero section to make it bigger and adding a strong CTA text, such as ‘Browse more’ or ‘Enjoy 10% off’

A good example looks like this:

  • Add a favicon

Favicons help users easily identify your website among a sea of open tabs in their browser. This saves them time and frustration when switching between pages.

  • Use delivery date instead of estimated delivery

Estimated delivery can feel less certain, while delivery date helps customers know when to expect their order.

2. Add a pop-up banner

This can be particularly useful when you need to highlight special offers, discounts, or new product launches, increasing the chance of conversion. However, overusing pop-ups can interrupt the browsing experience, so make sure the pop-ups are well-designed and don’t appear too often

3. Optimize customer support section

I can see that you’ve already created a Chat widget. However, you can make it even better by adding a FAQ page or a Contact Us page. I suggest exploring MooseDesk, a free support, FAQ & Helpdesk App. MooseDesk provides auto-reply features during non-business hours, a proactive help center, and a user-friendly widget layout, offering an effective solution to enhance customer support on your platform.

  • You can add a widget that contain FAQ like this with MooseDesk:

  • Or you can easily create and customize FAQ/Contact Us page within 5 minutes with appealing templates:

As an expert/enthusiast in UX, I recommend implementing these changes to improve customer experience when scrolling through your store.

If this is helpful for you, please let me know by giving me a ‘LIKE’. If your question is answered please mark this as 'SOLUTION’.

Thank you for reading. Wish you a nice day ahead!

  • Use delivery date instead of estimated delivery

Do you mean i should use the longes shipping days?

E.g

Shipping method Cost Domestic delivery (US) International delivery

Economy From USD 3.99 (prices listed at check out) 8 business days n/a
Standard From USD 4.75

5 business days

30 business days

Hi @DesignYourDay

It’s great to hear that our suggestion has been helpful to you.

Regarding your question about the delivery date, you can add an estimated delivery date, such as the expected delivery range (e.g., 15/7 to 23/7). This will help customers know when to expect their order.
