How to attact/get more people to buy from your online store? - Page 15

Hi Cecilia, nice collection of bags n apparels you have. On my earlier pointer re name of website.... "dot" is actually easier to remember than "yixiaodian".

Guess I didnt have the patience to stay long in your website because the thing with blogspot is the earlier posts will sink to the bottom and if the pics at the top are not attractive enough for me, I won't bother to scroll further. It will be ideal if customers can see more pics at the one go.

If you have been doing this for 2 years and you feel that sales are still not good enough, perhaps it's time to "upgrade". See if any of the forummers here can help you get a proper website set up and work on those search engines and traffic hits. Otherwise, if you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting now.... 一小点... 一点点...

Finally, nice model you have, so sweet... a little more make up should help.

加油!

Not launch yet? Okie then, first n foremost.... GOOD LUCK! GOOD BUSINESS!

As the saying goes, first impression counts, so that very first webpage (home page or welcome page) is very important. I was wondering if I enter into some online florist shop or some nature research site and pictures for Upcoming products are too small to generate any interests.

So who is your target consumers? what kind of age groups are you selling to? Reasons for asking is because when I look at your choice of accessories, some are very "matured" and some are very "kiddish".... knowing who are your target audience can help you better focus on your advertising.

Also note that your pics when zoom in, are actually a bit blur. Example, in Other Accessories, the Hearshaped earrings n necklace set can be a very simple n classy set but the blur image will give customers a different impression. Certain accessories eg the brinjal or eggplant hairclip, you may want to consider using a model to let customers see the real life effect. Kind of difficult to visualise the effect after wearing.

For online stores, please do double check your spellings, sentence construction, etc. See "orders n contact us" page - "You may either the shopping to check out via Paypal or the attached form to submit your order to...." Something's not too right here....

Having a forum is interesting but monitor it closely because a dead forum may give customers the impression that not many is interested in your website n products....

I understand yours is a cove for little treasures n surprises and indeed I was surprise to see pens and mobile phone accessories! Up until now, it is very much a fashion accessories e-shop to me (Didn't I see the banner 'Unique Fashion Accessories at Vivajasy" in About Us page) so I ain't sure if it is a good or bad surprise. When I see the words little treasures and surprises, i was hoping to find some really unique accessories, something that I can't find in other online stores, something really different.... but

You see.... when it comes to online selling n buying.... the choice of written words, the use of pictures etc all become very important because we as consumers cannot feel cannot touch the products..... we can only rely on what you write n what you show in your website.... Am I making sense?

Hey, cute watches! nice sharp n clear pics too! This webpage seems more "fyi" type rather than an online selling platform.

If you have the intention to sell them online, then do include info like prices and details like material of straps, water-proof or not, etc etc and payment n delivery mode.

Here I'm assuming you only carry these few watches in your inQbox. If you have other products, then this page is a bit misleading, you may want to indicate somewhere in the webpage that you have other "Personal Jewelry" in your inQbox or to expect other Personal Jewelry in the near future....

Hi dear, if you have viewers and no buyers, I am juz wondering if your viewers are your target audience afterall. Ask yourself where do you advertise/market your website? Are your products unique, not something mummies n daddies can easily buy from outside. Are prices reasonable considering yours is an online store with minimal operating expenses?

You may also want to consider getting some kids to model the hairclips for you when you take the pics. Always easier for customers to visualize them. On hello kitty, am not sure if there's an infringement of trademark, so do be careful when you sell such products, even if they are juz hairclips.

This is a website selling kids' stuff..... the background of poka dots are really boring, liven up with brighter wallpapers please.

And I was thinking this is another website selling hair accessories until I scroll down.... Imagine if people are not interested in hair accessories for their girls, they will have left your website in less than 1 min. Hey but you have diaper cakes, baby hampers and baby gifts! Why not bring them to the top! No offence but I was wondering if those baby gifts are in fact extra gifts which you receive and did not use them, because the range is so limited... only baby girls clothes and only size 6/9 mths and the other one 12mths If you want to create a website that caters to kids' stuff then be prepared to invest and carry a proper range of products, otherwise... ya.... you get viewers but no buyers

"Already want to give up"??? Hey, only 1 month and you are already losing confidence? ok, now we are 4-5mths into your e-store creation, how's the result? have you taken any action since your posting above? Online selling is not easy, have to have lots of persistence and perserverance. If you are calling quit so early, then perhaps this is really not your cup of tea. Ask around, I think the successful ones took at least 6mths or even more before they see some decent results.


On your website.... Ghosh, your homepage is all wrong.... looks like is still under construction. I try to click on "About this blog - Our online fashion shop" but nothing happens...... would have left if if I didnt see the word "Page 1".

Nov 3rd 2009 n no more postings? Dead website? Prove us wrong please.

Your collection of bags n apparels are actually quite nice. Ideal if you can show both the magazine pic and a pic of the real item. With so many online complaints about actual products not matching up to the magazine pic shown, why not put in a little more effort n feature the actual items, this way customers will also feel more confident in their purchase from you.

Good luck!

恭喜发财!

Thanks alot.. I will definitely work on it. =) Need to look for a good website designer to help me to polish the site and do something on the photo shooting. I'll probably rent a studio and get a pro to help. Hee.. Last week, I passed by your shop at CP but didn't have the guts to introduce myself. Thanks for your time and comments.

FF Fashion

didn't have the guts to introduce yourself? aiyo... that bad ah? Am I that fierce? Cannot be right? Cannot be shy leh, you know in sales, when you r in the front line, it's not like online sales, you cannot afford to shy away, gotta be a bit more thick-skin and saying hello! shouldn't be that difficult. Next time you are here, juz pop in and introduce yourself ya See you around!

yixiaodian

Haha.. Next time I definitely will. I saw a trendy lady inside the shop. So that's you huh? Next time I'll definitely pop in and intro myself.

Hi

I am a Full-time working mum with 2 baby gals who just set up a blogshop for plus size clothings. Really struggling to manage the blogshop cos really gotta consistently upload the nice pics and description.

As I am not very IT Sarvy, I only manage to do up a very basic one and recently after i changed the template, alot of pictures went out-of alignment.

I would like to have a livechat app but i cant find and do not know how to do so. Can anyone advise?

I would also like to improve my blogshop and increase the visitor flow.

My blog is www. meowjocloset.blogspot. com. Hope to get your truthful advise and comments.

Thanks in advance.
