Why am I getting views but no sales on my ecommerce store?

Topic summary

A store owner received 4,000 website visits from TikTok ads but achieved zero conversions or sales, seeking advice on what’s wrong.

Main Issues Identified:

  • Unclear value proposition: The homepage lacks a clear statement or slogan explaining what the store sells. Adding a hero banner video or concise messaging could help visitors immediately understand the offering.

  • Missing trust signals: The store needs more social proof (customer testimonials, reviews) and a favicon logo to appear professional and trustworthy.

  • Poor TikTok integration: Recommended using link-in-bio tools (Linkpop, Koji, Beacon) to streamline the path from TikTok to purchase, as TikTok users expect quick, visual product access.

  • Navigation problems: The hero banner redirects to unexpected products. With 7 different products, creating dedicated landing pages for each would reduce confusion.

  • Missing conversion elements: Suggestions include adding product carousels, countdown timers for urgency, holiday promotions, customer support widgets (like MooseDesk), and social media icons in the footer.

Status: Discussion remains open with multiple contributors offering detailed feedback and visual examples to improve conversion rates.

Hi @A3r0smith ,

Thanks for reaching out to the community. This is MooseDesk - All-in-one Shopify Ticketing System App

Your store looks really impressive, and I can see the dedication you’ve poured into its creation. While it’s already great, I do have some suggestions to help make it even better. Here are a few of my recommendations for better customer experience, if you don’t mind taking a look.

1. Highlighting what you are trying to sell

Visitors are quick to evaluate not only a site’s product catalog, the brand’s policies, trustworthiness but more importantly, value proposition that you are aiming for. The lack of clarity towards this factor can result in misinterpretations during this first glance, leading to premature abandonment.

You can start off by adding a short statement or slogan to let your audience know what you are selling. A short video introducing your products in the hero banner would also do the trick and impress the visitors.

2. Adding slideshow (carousel)

To make your list of products become more dynamic and attractive, you can turn it into a slideshow (carousel) with autorotation or manual controls. Just keep in mind with the following factors:

  • Slides shouldn’t rotate too quickly (especially if they include text),
  • Autorotation should always pause when hovered,
  • Autorotation should permanently stop after any user interaction with the carousel,
  • Manual controls should be overly clear.

3. Social proof

To acquire more trust from visitors, you can also add more testimonials to show actual statements from real customers on what they have said about your products. This would also help you boost your conversion rate significantly.

4. Customer support

To minimize the effort of navigating the way to reach your support, you can create a help widget, usually located at the bottom right of your page. The help widget can allow your customers to quickly submit their questions, requests or feedback. If you are wondering how to do it, you can give MooseDesk a try. MooseDesk is a ticket management system and it allows you to customize the help widget from company logos, fonts, background colors, etc. You can refer to this article for more info.

More importantly, we are currently offering MooseDesk for FREE to all early birds and our 24/7 support is always ready to provide you all the support you need.
