Why am I getting lots of site visits but no sales?

Topic summary

New store reports solid traffic but zero conversions: ~60 sessions on launch day and now 100–120/day. Many add-to-cart events occur, but no checkouts. The owner suspects the stated 7–14 day delivery window may be deterring purchases and asks whether to remove it, plus general tips.

Advice emphasizes keeping the 7–14 day shipping notice for transparency rather than removing it. Suggested conversion tactics focus on guiding shoppers and creating urgency.

Recommended actions:

  • Add upsell/cross-sell product recommendations (e.g., New Arrivals, Most Popular, Featured) to help customers find items and proceed to checkout.
  • Introduce FOMO (fear of missing out) via a countdown timer bar for time-limited offers to prompt faster purchases.
  • Improve readability by lightening the pop-up’s font color.

Links and visual examples (images/GIFs) of widgets and timers were provided via app recommendations, which are central to the proposed approach.

Outcome/status: No confirmed resolution or sales yet; actionable UI/marketing suggestions provided. Discussion remains open.

Hello @agneta1337 ,

I’d advise against removing the 7-14 days delivery notice. It’s essential to maintain transparency and avoid misleading customers about the delivery timeline. Instead, consider utilizing Upsell & Cross-Sell product recommendations to showcase different products like New Arrivals, Most Popular Ones, or Featured Products. This allows customers to quickly find and add items to their carts.

Have you considered incorporating the Fear-Of-Missing-Out (FOMO) element? Inform customers about time-limited offers or discounts with the Countdown Timer Bar, encouraging them to swiftly add products to their carts before the countdown expires.

Additionally, I recommend adjusting the font color on the Pop-up, as the current dark color can be challenging to read.

Feel free to implement these suggestions, and if you have any questions or need further assistance, we’re here to help.
