Hey @user2084
Let’s talk about how to turn visits into actual purchases. Since you’re selling connected fitness products like dumbbells, resistance bands, and recovery gear, you’ve got a perfect opportunity to increase average order value through smart upsells and cross-sells.
Right now, when someone adds a product to the cart, they don’t get guided toward complementary items. For example, if a customer adds dumbbells, that’s a great time to suggest resistance bands or recovery tools. The easiest way to do this is by using a slide cart (also called a cart drawer) instead of sending users to the traditional cart page. It keeps them engaged and encourages them to add more before checkout.
Inside that cart drawer, you can show recommended products and even offer product bundles like “Dumbbell + Resistance Band Set” at a discounted price. These small touches can make a big difference. You can also include a progress bar that lets shoppers know how close they are to earning free shipping or a small discount. These visual motivators help boost conversion and keep customers excited about adding more.
When setting up these features, try not to install too many separate apps for each function. Having one all-in-one cart customization app will help you manage everything efficiently and keep your store loading fast. Tools like iCart are good examples of this, as they cover upsells, progress bars, and bundles in one place.
Alongside optimizing your cart, I’d recommend putting some attention into SEO right now. Make sure each product has a clear, keyword-rich description that matches what people search for (like “adjustable dumbbells for home workouts”). Add alt text to your images and focus on blog content or short guides that help your audience learn about fitness at home, it’s a great way to bring in organic traffic over time.
For marketing, since you’re just starting out, begin small with your budget. A consistent $10–$20 per day across Facebook or Instagram ads is enough to test what’s working. Use short videos or lifestyle photos showing your products in action, that content tends to perform better than static product images. Once you see which products or audiences perform best, you can gradually scale up your spend.
You’re already in a strong position, the store looks professional, and your product range fits nicely together. Focus on cart experience, SEO, and slow, steady ad testing. You’ll start seeing clearer results once those elements are in sync.
