I'm no expert but I would like your opinion on the following thoughts & suggestions:

  • Simplify. What is the point of having a "Home" link on your menu, what does it tell me? Ditch it. Up your categories from Shop+ to the main menu, if they are hidden odds are I won't be able to find about them. In my opinion quilts are not throws and should not be bundled together.

  • The search bar is so hard to find, can you make it more visible? This is not high priority since you have a small catalog, but still most e-commerce's have easy access to the search bar.

  • Contacting you is hard, can you give me just an email or a direct phone together with service hours? Can you show this to customers directly on the footer or the top Nav besides cart?

  • Experiment with different price points. I think free shipping is interesting, but if you are adding too much to the individual product price to offer this, consider removing it, or finding a cheaper way to ship. Key questions: Would it be fair to pay 5x the shipping for someone buying 5 products? Do you expect customers to buy only one product or multiple on one order? If just one, rid the cart option and go directly to checkout.

  • Experiment limiting your product line at first to throws, it's easier to optimize and to manage for just one product instead of a hundred. Some of your products are actually the same but different color, try combining them into one and then give the option of choosing the color.

  • Keep the 100 days returns policy. Make it more visible through the checkout process.

  • Keep the advertising, google, pinterest, facebook etc. Try to improve the metrics for each ad, either more visitors for less money, or more conversions per money.

  • Read this book on optimizing Adwords: http://amzn.to/2cNtL22 (Not sponsoring, loved it and found great results)

  • Follow the potential customer journey from
    • "My life is so stressing and my house is so cluttered" (Potential), to
    • "Hey this ad for Scandinavian homewares speaks to me, let's see what they've got" (Acquisition), to
    • "This hoo-gah site is telling me that I can buy this sweet Scandinavian throw so I can cuddle in winter" (Landing Page), consider: Is this what I thought I would find when clicking this ad? Is this something that fills my needs? Is this product in my price range?
    • "Alright, this is an awesome product, GBP 100 seems affordable, free shipping is great and If I don't like it I can return it" (Pre-checkout / pre-purchase), consider: I've added a free shipping product to cart but "Excl. shipping" shows below the total, why?, What does "Cart" mean, should I click here to pay? Can I call someone to get help here?
  • Your checkout phase is Checkout phase is simple, and straight forward, no suggestions here.
  • "Awesome, the throw arrived on the expected time, quality is great and I would recommend this company", (Post-sale) consider: How can you invite your customers to keep buying? How can you ask them or incite them to recommend your company?

  • I'm a e-commerce owner and online shopping veteran and still have problems navigating and following the check out process, try to make it as easy as possible to me, each hurdle is a customer leaving. Imagine any potential customer has the money but is completely computer illiterate (assume your grandma is trying to buy online).

  • Are the 2.5k visits from actual people or search engines?

Hi Tavi!

1- Good job for launching your first website shop! It's a very nice step :) You should be proud of it.

2- You should consider to mask the link on the https://www.womensworldcompany.com/pages/giveaway-contest. It is not aesthetics.

3- Is this a template you bought, or a page you coded all by yourself? I feel like it could get a little bit of improve. Like a beautiful banner on the index page. Or button amelioration. Like the one on this page again: https://www.womensworldcompany.com/pages/giveaway-contest
The subscribe button. Seems to be a kind-of web 1.0 button if you know what I mean :)

4- For the same page, sorry it seems like I was stuck there haha, you should consider having a big title like: Subscribe to our newletter and get a chance to win one of these. I mean, I clicked on the link to get there. Show me quickly what I want to see - how do I get it. Or I'll leave the page.

5- I like the shop menu :) Really cool and I like the dropdown!

6- The best point of all, buy this book: https://www.amazon.ca/Convert-Designing-Increase-Traffic-Conversion/dp/0470616334
It's a book I would have really liked to have read before today. It will helps you learning how to write your content, and how to drive sales. It's a must for everyone.

Good luck Tavi! Wish you the best :)

Our agency doesn't delve too much into ecommerce marketing but since it does overlap with the technical side of a business, we research and write about it some.

That being said, delving into a "marketing plan" isn't something we'd typically cover on our blog.

However, I - personally - think the idea of a "marketing plan" is a bit outdated. In the good ol' days brands would hire an agency, request a plan for the year, and the team would continue to execute on that plan all year. It doesn't really make sense when you think of how little room that gives you to iterate based on things like trends, customer demands and current events. (This thought process was inspired by a book I'm currently reading: [Hacking Marketing: Agile Practices to Make Marketing Smarter, Faster, and More Innovative] (https://www.amazon.com/Hacking-Marketing-Practices-Smarter-Innovative/dp/1119183170) )

With Chubbies, I think their "luck" with using UGC for marketing really goes hand-in-hand with nailing their target demo. The type of guy that would buy Chubbies shorts would also be the type to take an outrageous photo and caption it with their branding...just to do it. They've really perfected the idea of creating a "loyal fan". There are many brands that are examples of this (Warby Parker, Birchbox, etc.)

So, I don't necessarily think this can come from a plan. To me, their success is a result of validating their product/market fit and having an agile team who can iterate and execute on a plan when they see something working.

As for guides on UGC marketing: I don't have one off the top of my head, but two great resources for marketing strategy are:

[Inbound.org] (http://inbound.org/)

[Growthhackers.com] (http://growthhackers.com/)

Hope that helps!

$20 for a stack of cut acrylic? You've got to do a much better job at explaining the value proposition here. Especially when the average person is not going to have any idea what it is you're selling.

Also - pictures, pictures, pictures. The average person will spend 5 seconds on your website tops, read 1 sentence (the heading), look at the pics, and leave. Your pictures look like they were taken in your backyard in the dark. Go buy:

You mention 1k clicks from adwords, in what way to you get these clicks. Ads, keywords, etc. Are you using Google Product Ads? Your ads are definitely letting you down and need to be optimized.

Your website feels generic, what are you doing to differentiate? I am a dog owner so I checked out that section. Water bowl (http://www.nelsonmelson.com/products/traveling-dog-bowl?variant=872347407) seems ok, but there is VERY little information about the product. Why should I buy from your website when amazon has the same product http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B001E5411O/?tag=dogcaresupplies-20dogcaresuppliesonline-20 for less money, free shipping, and all the product information needed to make an informed decision?

It was frustrating that your shipping costs are not displayed anywhere, this is a major concern for shoppers. Why do you need my email address to let me know how much shipping will cost?

You should A/B test some UI elements, the first being add to cart and checkout buttons. Yours currently blend into the website too much and red can be an inhibitor. I'd also look into adding some trust marks and contact information to the checkout process.

eCommerce is difficult. Shopify seems to make it easier, but the only companies I've seen having major success on their platform have unique product offerings. Differentiation is key, figure out what makes your website better than the MANY options already available to online shoppers, then you might have a chance.

I think I understand why you have that sense, but I encourage you to consider reading these articles by people who have tried carousel designs explaining why they can slow the growth of your business:

http://www.growth-hacker.com/the-carousel-on-your-home-page-is-costing-you-money/

http://www.nngroup.com/articles/auto-forwarding/ (Nielsen)

http://unbounce.com/conversion-rate-optimization/conversion-killing-tactics/

(not about carousel specifically but an example of how ditching a huge above-fold image improved conversions) http://www.ecommercefuel.com/inside-relaunch-online-store/

(discussion among UX experts about their experience examining user behavior data around carousel interactions) http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/10312/are-carousels-effective

This classic book also explains why the carousel tends to confuse shoppers at a theoretical level, backed by his extensive consulting experience: http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Make-Me-Think-Usability/dp/0321344758

It's a well-known web design trap that has a strong tendency to harm sales.

It looks pretty and impressive, but it tends to hurt business results. Don't take it as a criticism of aesthetic sensibility: it's just a design convention that looks really cool on the surface that rarely actually works for shoppers like you would think that it would.

I recommend reading "Small Time Operator". It's consistently one of the better selling business books on Amazon. There is alot you don't know when starting a business and this book is a great resource.

I've been reading this book https://www.amazon.com/Conversion-Code-Capture-Internet-Appointments/dp/1119211883/ , I'd highly recommend it

​

A couple of things jump out to me:

1, Homepage lacks trust/credibility, the whole row of facebook/twitter is empty, I just won't trust my money with you

2, Please stop using the slideshow on the homepage, and on top of that, it is too fast

3, The headline "10$ shipping, Canada only" shouldn't be there, it should be your selling points instead. Try "Free Shipping (you can include shipping into prices), Best Deals in "your city" "

I've been using a Brother QL-700 for the last 3 years and just bought a second one. First one I bought from Staples, but the second bought last week for under $70 CAD from Amazon.
It's thermal so no ink, high quality print and fast. The large shipping labels normally work out around 10 cents a label.

I ended up getting a Logitech C920, which has a camera screw (it's one of the only ones I could find). I also purchased a camera wall mount (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PERMVQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but when I just searched for it again on amazon (I searched "camera wall mount"), I saw a bunch that were a LOT cheaper. I plan to build a small white box with some lights and mount the mount to it.

How do these compare to Woodwick candles, as far as crackling and the burn length?

u/damstraight4 · 4 pointsr/ecommerce

You can also purchase these from this fine site

i think they mean first class mail versus first class package. as long as it's legible and i think 4x5 is im sure it's no problem. a quick search on amazon shows several 4x5 labels for shipping so i imagine it's not a problem...https://www.amazon.com/Buhbo-Address-Shipping-Sticker-Printers/dp/B07L8PG9QK/ref=sr_1_9?crid=3KPSJSLHUQWXV&keywords=4x5+labels&qid=1570753420&sprefix=4+x+5+lab%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-9

If you wanna get crazy you can buy blanks and make your own computerized embroidery with one of those ~$300 brother machines. It also is a normal sewing machine when you need it to be. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003EPLBMO
