Furthermore, some sellers combine that "advertisement corner" with their customers' Q&A, very confusing. As a buyer, I don't even know if my queries have been answered.
agreed with what you said.... i always did that too

There can be a lot of reasons behind your "many pageviews little sales". Let me go into your blog now and see if I can help further improve your website with my 2 cents worth!

Good Luck!

Hi dear, juz saw your posting asking for my comments on your blog. Sori for the late reply. Haven't got time to read the forum in details recently, only got time to update my pics in the bizub-wholesale supplier section.

okie, here we go.... if you don't like what I write, no hard feelings ya....(but you can scold me since I can't hear you )

1. Shopname - Took me a while to find your shopname. I know it's in the URL but in my opinion, you need to make it more prominent in your blog, specifically the banner. That's the way customers gonna remember you. Advertising through word-of-mouth is effective but do you want customers to remember you as "JustGift" or "Pet Trees".

2. Pet Tree - This seems to be your key product. If so, make the banner clearer. Those individual pics of pet trees look good. Is it possible to have the pics of pet trees on 1 page for easier comparisons. I was viewing PT02 Cross Catcus, by the time I reach PT05, I can't remember what PT02 looks like! If putting them side by side will make the pics smaller, then consider a zoom in function if that's possible in blogger...

3. Format - How about having different sections, one for pet trees, one for house decor, one for computer & stuff (or whatever you call them). I can see that you are updating by dates. But if you are selling gifts, then as a shopper, I would prefer to search by gift category. If those modems and stuff happens to be just extras & non related to JustGifts, may be you can group them under "Misc", "Other barangs barangs" or the like. If you want to bring your customers' attention to your latest products, you can always have a "New arrival' section.

4. About me - Hey, you should be proud of your blog. Try to beef up your "About me" section. If not, remove that, it doesn't tell me anything useful. I'm here looking for gifts, not accountant...

5. Font color - Take note of the color you use. For eg, refer to your foldable vase updates. you said "Bulk Purchase Welcome"... it's in black but I can hardly read it. Too many colors can be confusing.... can consider standardizing the colors use meaning use red for prices, green for header, etc.

6. cbox - I see some interesting comments from customers. Good stuff. But I see a ICCY posting a link up. Guess what? I have almost forgotten that I'm supposed to view and comment on your blog, I wanted to go into ICCY's blog because ICCY says everything under $30... sounds attractive... you see, this is the danger of having a cbox. See if you can do anything about those link ups. Perhaps a separate section dedicated to exchange of links? (Sorry, I'm juz thinking and jotting down whatever comes to mind without giving much thought to the possibility of implementing them in blogger)...

7. Order information - I can only see a contact for bulk purchase. Yeah, make this big and clear too. Seems like you don't have any section on Order/Payment/Delivery Instructions or did I miss it out... (Struggling to open my eyes...)...

okie, that's all for tonite... if I can think of anything else I'll pm you. Nite nite!

By the way, well done & keep it up! Interesting products you have!

Hello FF Fashion and all,

Need some help and feedback to attract customers.

I've recently set up an online store.. but orders are pathetic and it's really depressing. Though i do not know whats the definition of high traffic as it's new and i dont link up alot of other shops. But, traffic are alright so far i guess.

QiCheng sounds like a marketer.. any comments?

not sure if i can post my link here.. so i put it n my profile. do let me know if you can find it.

Thanks all!

Hello FF Fashion and everybody else,

This is a newcomer to the online business world. I set up my business in January and have been having limited success. I know the single biggest barrier to achieving greater sales is the lack of time, and I'm quitting my full-time job to pursue this business full-time.

With the increased energy and focus from 1 May, I'll be doing a lot more things to the website (like creating more pages, adding photos of past events, submitting more pages to search engines, etc).

Anyhow, for now, would you visit my site (URL in my profile) and give me your comments? By the way, I distribute Vietnamese coffee.

Thanks!
