Why is my kids shopping cart store getting no conversions?

Topic summary

Main issue: Despite localized ads with solid metrics (CTR up to 4.28%, CPC ~$0.18) and shipping limited to the province, there are no add‑to‑carts or conversions from Facebook/Instagram. Only 2 local marketplace sales and 1 organic Google purchase so far.

Key feedback and actions:

  • UX/CRO:
    • Make the homepage banner/video include a clear, clickable CTA (e.g., Shop Now) and ensure consistent CTA styling.
    • Resize sticky header (place logo inline with navigation) to save space; resize hero video for full visibility and ensure high quality.
    • Link the announcement bar to a product/collection page instead of contact.
    • Add a visible Contact link in header/footer for trust and SEO.
    • Use color swatches on product pages; add an Instagram feed for freshness/social proof.
    • Consider removing the cookie bar unless legally required.
  • Offers/positioning:
    • Add bulk discounts and a referral program (potential appeal to grocery/retail buyers).
  • Targeting/social proof:
    • Refine targeting (e.g., local women 25–50 with child-related interests).
    • Strengthen reviews; consider tools that summarize wider market reviews.

OP update: Plans to add a Contact page and bulk order options. No confirmed improvement in conversions yet; discussion remains open. Images of ads/screenshots were shared and inform the feedback.

These are so so key! Yes to the Contact page and bulk order, really needed to add those. Thank you!
