I have been on Shopify for four months now adding new items. In my draft I have over 1200 items to list now, issue is I am getting no views nor orders.
Have been online for a decade and done well, can someone just be blunt with my shop.
Topic summary
No views or sales after four months online; merchant has 1,200+ items in drafts and seeks blunt feedback.
A reviewer requested the URL (bazzys.net) and offered specific, actionable improvements:
- Add a hero banner (a prominent top-of-page image/message) to create a strong first impression.
- Add a favicon to improve brand recognition and trust in the browser tab.
- Categorize products clearly to aid discovery and strengthen SEO (search engine optimization).
- Refine product pages: structure descriptions (e.g., Dimensions, Quality Materials, About This Item) and highlight brand features (e.g., unique, vintage-style designs).
- Run a Valentine’s campaign: themed collection and limited-time discounts with a countdown; avoid perpetual “sale” messaging.
Illustrative screenshots were shared for banner, favicon, categories, and product layout.
The merchant voiced concern about the time investment to list thousands of products from multiple sellers and whether it’s worth it, noting difficulty building momentum. The latest suggestion is to use an app to automate publishing products to Shopify, with an open offer for further help.
Status: ongoing. No reported change in traffic or sales yet; no specific tools chosen.

Hi @BazzysHouse
Hello, I like your products, they are really unique and affordable prices. However, there is room for improvement and I hope they help you.
1. Add a hero banner
A hero banner can tell a story about your products or brand. Itis often the first visual element a visitor encounters on your website. It sets the tone and makes a strong first impression, which is crucial in capturing the interest of potential customers.
Please take this as an example:
2. Add favicon
A favicon is a tiny icon or logo that appears in the browser tab or bookmark bar when visitors access your website. It reinforces your brand identity and helps users quickly recognize and remember your site and also trust your site.
3. Categorize products
Good categorization can help customers discover products they didn’t know they wanted.
Well-defined categories can improve your website’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Search engines can better understand and index your site’s content, making it more likely to appear in relevant search results, which can drive organic traffic to your site.
4. Highlight core products and Brand features
- To enhance clarity and readability, the product description should be structured into well-defined categories. Categories such as ‘Dimensions,’ ‘Quality Materials,’ and ‘About This Item’ can effectively organize the content, making it more user-friendly and informative.
- Highlight brand features to persuade the customers why they should buy your products it can be the information focus on unique, vintage-style designs that may appeal to customers who appreciate ornate and classic aesthetics in their home furnishings
5. Prepare for Valentine
- Create a special collection of items that fit the Valentine’s theme.
- Special discount: I have to say that customer love discount but if it is sale all year long they will lose urgency to buy your products so combine with a countdown timer is better
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Garcia

Thank you that banner is beautiful. I’m just concerned going forward with having multiple sellers and adding in 1,000’s of products is the time (so, much time) going to be worth it. Just can not seem to get the mojo here going.
