Hey BHW,
I started a new Dropshipping store known as Luxury Goat
I need opinions from few of the experts/experienced dropshippers.


Website: LuxuryGoat.com

I want to know what you think about the website, the designs, the setup, the products.

I'm fairly new to the dropshipping thing. If you could help me out with few products that are good to start with & advertise. I did start an
insta: @iLoveLuxuryGoat

Anything helps. Thanks guy I really appreciate it.
 
Well, the looks and aesthetics is something about personal opinion. Products, niche, etc. is about what works and what not.

Loading time is good in my area (USA), but I don't think you will have problems on this, as you are using Shopify and Cloudflare CDN.

About the looks, in my opinion, a beauty, jewelry and so on niche is better seen in light colors, specially appealing to women, which will be your main customers. I would choose light blues, very light grays and pink.

But again, looks are all about personal opinion. Wish you success in your venture.

I was asking about specific products if you know any that could sell. I've put in around $400 in this website. This includes theme, Shopify sub, designer, etc.
 
"I want to know what you think about the website, the designs, the setup..."

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm covering that part of the question. Hopefully other members will help you about products, but successful dropshippers will hardly tell you about their products.

Thanks for replying, idk what products to sell to recover fast from the money I put in.
 
No offense, but for me color schemes look appalling, also design doesn't look kinda clean for me its hard to look at, again no offense that's just my opinion, take all information from this thread and improve, also good luck!
 
don't like it at all, dont know but black yellow dont go too well.
 
I dont think the problem is your site, it is not bad. I think its your niche. With luxury products, people like established products before you start calling them "luxury products". Especially when you are selling them for so cheap, it doesn't scream luxurious at all. If you were selling any other product, I would say your website isn't bad, but people like the modern experience when paying for luxury. Your site's theme doesn't scream that at all. That is just my advice though. Good luck! :)
 
Its the BHW dark theme that you are using?

Why is there (still) a Christmas tree in the image on the home page?

Dunno if the image with the JC tree is a slider, but on mobile it is a bit messy. Button is squashed against the bottom of the image.

Like @zilog357 said. Use a light color scheme.
 
"don't like it at all, dont know but black yellow dont go too well."

Lol, he meant to take the information members post, not colors of the thread. What MakeEZmoney says about "hard to look at", is what you need to concentrate first. The color contrast between letters and background and maybe the font type needs to be improved.

About "idk what products to sell to recover fast from the money I put in", that's another story. You can not expect to do an investment expecting to get it back soon. I you made a sacrifice to put the money together for an investment, then that's the worst investment to do. You invest money you won't need, in case it all goes bad.

I've been trying to sell on the dropshipping model too. I have been a few months only and still I have no sales. Just keep trying different products. Do keywords research, Use your own descriptions and own titles based on those keywords. Don't go for the most popular keywords in general. You will find that everybody is doing it. Instead, group keywords that have the lowest competition in your niche and select the most popular from those. That is a way of looking for a product that has moderate demand and still, low competition to drive sales in.

When you already have customers, then a second step would be reselling to those customers using any of many strategies (emails, coupons, rewards, etc.)

As I said, I've been only severals months trying the dropshipping business model, but I've been doing successful business for a decade with another webpage I own. The success is based in a service I provide and not in products I sell. The fact that competitors are few and demand is moderate, keeps a steady income and I don't need another job and work from home. You can do the same selling products instead, but keywords research and patience is key, unless you have the money to do paid advertisement and know how to do it wisely, preferable with FB and G Adsense.

Last words, either fix or change your template. If you are targeting women with products, make it appealing to them. Blue is used as a calming color, red to alert specials or scarcity only, etc. etc. Black is excellent for this forum and many use it for automotive themes, but not for fashion, beauty, etc. Lookk at the color schemes I included here. Try to use color like those.

The font is hard to read on my phone.

Next time don't share your link on public forums, it's risky. :)
 
leave it like this. it's almost perfect.
you don't need to do what everybody it's doing white theme.
just you invested way to much 400$ ?
focus on marketing !!
 
Product images are blurry and poorly cropped

The word "luxury" should be in a different color in the logo. Hurts my eyes.

Background of product images are white but the site theme is black. These should match not clash.

Its obvious products are not yours because the images include logos and varying backgrounds. It would be far cleaner to have 3 products that look nice.

Update: Ok, so based on what people have said so far, I conclude. The theme shouldn't be black and yellow. I need higher quality images (Products are straight from Oberlo for place holder)
I'm not an expert with photoshop, if anyone is willing to help me changing the color of the logo it'd be a great help since I'm changing my theme from Dark to white. I'm fairly new to shopify and still don't know all controls. Thanks for all the feedback guys. It really helps me knowing from others point of view. I thought Dark theme to make the website standout but I'd rather change it if many people think it looks bad.
 
You're putting a whole lot of focus into your website theme and minor things like colors. Focus first on your products. Titles, descriptions first. Find best pictures from all available suppliers and put them up. Install heatmap. Run tests. If you don't have any remotely profitable products, there is no point in making a really nice website. Your current one could use some work if you are targeting women, but spend just a day or two modifying existing elements that are easy to modify - e.g. change the color of the CTAs to pink. Don't go all in until you know you can be somewhat profitable IMO. If your products are good, website design is secondary.

As for actually editing the website, you should be able to do most of the editing in the theme customization options on Shopify. Go to your theme page and hit Customize and look around.
 
Thanks for replying, idk what products to sell to recover fast from the money I put in.

Just be prepared to spend another $400 if not more before you start seeing sales if you're going to go with FB ads.
