I have been growing a following for a while on Pinterest, I had planned this to get an organic audience before I launch my website.
My pinterest account is around 1.3k followers and gets about 2.5M monthly views as of now, but I can easily get it up to 8M+ (that's what it was at before i slowed down to work on the website). I feel like I have pinterest figured out for the most part.
Now my issue is, the website has gotten about 250 visitors now (for being live for 4 days), but only one added to cart.
Some more info about the website:
I'm using Dawn theme, with 2-3 colors that contrast each other, so buy buttons are clear to see. I have checked and made sure that the website is mobile friendly.
I have policies for returns, shipping, an about us section with a story etc...
I have approximately 60 ish products live on the website.
I have 5 blogs written related to my niche
I have made sure that my website actually loads and that the speed score is 73 (lighthouse test) 66 on shopify admin
I have added some trust factors like, money back guarantee, free shipping, and secure checkout.
I have added some social proof like reviews (each item should have reviews, 1 review minimum up to 3, didn't wanna go overboard because it's supposed to be a new website)
I have a sticky add-to-cart
There's more social proof like a sales pop up, like (someone from X region made a purchase + a random item.
There's a brief FAQ in the landing page that talks about shipping times, returns, and how to contact us. (with links to the policies of each one)
My shipping times are 2-9 days for us and 8-16 for other areas.
For session duration, some users stay for 10 secs and some stay for 1:10 +, the average be would be about 1:20 (not accounting google bot cause it messes with results)
My audience is varied and so I have a currency converter that shows up in local currency, however translation wasnt doable because it just slows down the website so much.
One key aspect that i think is worth mentioning is that, when I posted about my website on pinterest (I accompany an ad with each post). I never mentioned what the website sells, I've only mentioned that the website is live and that I wanted peoples Curiosity to take over and check it out. But before I switched my ad format, I wanted to know if I'm doing something wrong? am I being impatient? or should I simply just switch the ad format to something that highlights the products sold for example?
I also need to mention that original idea was to sell on impulse because the prices on the website are not that high, the average being like 20-25$
But all in all, I'm open to feedback and recommendations.
