How can I get my first sale as a drop shipping store? I’ve had over 300 visitors but no sales yet
Hello @LuxeComfort
Welcome to the Shopify Community, thank you for leaving the question!
Here are my suggestions to help you generate more sales, I hope you find them helpful!
1. Run re-targeting ads campaign.
As you have mentioned above, I think you should run re-targeting campaign to target those who have visited your store.
2. Run TikTok ads to drive more traffic to your store.
To increase traffic for your Shopify store, you should consider running ads such as Facebook ads, Insta ads, Google ads, TikTok ads, etc. Among these platforms, TikTok is the best for online merchants.
As you are a beginner, you should consider using a free app such as NestAds to optimize your marketing budget. NestAds also help you quickly create and manage your ads campaign and receive one-to-one support from a TikTok partner.
3. Customize your store to increase the conversion rate.

Can you drop your store link for review?
Below are several techniques that when implemented correctly can increase your sales.
- Make the Home page attractive
Your Home page should be visually appealing, easy to navigate, and should load fast. Avoid excessive images and text. Stay on brand and on message with a simple, attention-capturing design. - Testimonials to build trust
Adding testimonials, reviews, and badges to your home page beneath your main content will help in building trust and project credibility. - Organize product collections/categories effectively
Make sure your customers experience better and more simple navigation through your store. - Use high-quality product images
Clear, quality product images give consumers quick information on a product. They can see the color, pattern, style, shape, and quality of the product with a glance. - Highlight product benefits
Avoid copy-pasting the description provided by the manufacturer. The product description gives you a great opportunity to integrate SEO keywords and the reason why one should purchase it. - Optimize the Checkout process
You might lose a lot of customers right when they are ready to buy if your checkout process isn’t simple. - Allow Guest Checkout
Offering a guest checkout option takes the checkout optimization process to the next level. You will get more abandoned carts if you want them to create an account to complete the checkout. - Add blogging
Apart from writing great content on your product landing pages, you should also leverage blogging to educate, inform, and engage your target audience. - Reduce Price Shock
If the extra costs (shipping, tax, fees, etc.) are too high you will get more cart abandonment. One way to eradicate this problem is by offering free shipping. Make sure to highlight that you’re not charging anything to deliver the products. - Remind abandoned cart customers
With abandoned cart emails, you can remind your customers of the items they expressed interest in and then left your store with no intention of returning. You can do this from your store Settings > Checkout > Abandoned Cart section > Choose to send abandoned cart emails either one, six, 10, or 24 hours after a customer abandons a cart. - Make sure your store is mobile-friendly
Over 54% of all web traffic comes from smartphones and tablets, so make sure your store is mobile-friendly. - Site navigation menu should be easy to use
Your site’s main header navigation menu should contains links to collections, pages like Contact Us, About Us, FAQ etc. The footer navigation menu should contain links to Privacy policy, Terms of service, Return & Exchange policy, Shipping policy.
Consumers trust organic sales channels like Google and rely on it even more and are using it at a rate that exceeds the growth of display and organic social. flareAI actively grows your store presence on Google Search. Once a product is found on while customer search for it, it is a permanent win! Let flareAI help to get sales from 20+ world’s largest free sales channels, Single click start!

hi @LuxeComfort ,
This is QuickCEP-software that can help you increase your income.
Hello, from this point of view, there are certain problems with the conversion rate of your website, but you still have to consider one thing, where does the traffic of your website come from, and whether it is the accurate user of your website.
You also need to expand the source of user traffic to help you quickly realize the conversion. After all, 300 customer is a small number, and more traffic is needed to verify whether your product is feasible. You can acquire users through advertising, social media, communities, content, etc.
1. Advertising to acquire customers
A large number of users use these platforms like Google, Facebook, Tik Tok, etc. You can get traffic by placing ads on these platforms every day. As long as you spend a certain amount of money, you will definitely be able to get a large number of customers from these platforms.
2. Social media acquisition
You can manage your accounts on platforms such as Facebook, Tik Tok, and Instagram, and post some content that users care about on them. After operating your account for a long time, you will definitely be able to gain users’ attention or cultivate some fans, and then attract these potential customers to on your own website.
3. SEO construction
You need to pay attention to the keywords of your products and build your website blog, make full use of the strategy of long-tail words, let the long-tail keywords of your website products or blog content get traffic on Google effectively, and if these customers are very interested in your products, you can form better conversions.
4. Email Marketing
If you already have a mailing list for users, you can reach them by sending emails about content they might be interested in. Remember, you must carry out permission marketing, do not send content to customers randomly.
5. Website construction
The design of the web pages has to conform to the customer’s habits, and the customers’ comments to the main product page, which can effectively improve the user’s trust.
6. Basic conversion content
You can add some user conversion modules on the website, such as: pop-up functions, customer service functions, etc. These two functions can effectively boost conversion of customers.
An example of the pop-up window function is shown in the gif below:
In this pop-up window, you can add some product information to attract users, such as: fill in the email address to get a 20% discount coupon, so as to increase the probability of the customer leaving the email address.
The customer service function module is shown in the gif below:
With the bot function, the product information can effectively reach users, solve customers’ questions, improve their experience, and effectively facilitate conversion.
In the process of attracting traffic and converting, you can quickly verify whether your products can be sold and complete your product sales.
Besides, our product QuickCEP, a really cost-effective, useful marketing app. It helps you do all-round marketing automation with professional advice, build your customer data platform , and it also has chatbot function, which means you don’t need to pay for Tidio, Omnisend, Klaviyo any more.
