Hi All,
We launched the project www.selfiestick.ca this past July, after promising indications in the following:
1. use of the word and application "selfie" in north america
2. promising google keyword figures
3. market testing with a pseudo shopping cart form
We received first inventory in mid-august and, while sales were a bit slow, they have been close to doubling every month since. For more information on this venture/me, check out my introduction thread, here.
The CRUX:
While grinding away, a lot of positives have happened (we are doing promotion with no.1 cancer fundraiser in Canada, Princess Margaret in Q1 2015) and we are now typically on page 2 of google and should reach page 1 shortly. As I had mentioned, sales continue to grow, but there seems to be anomaly…
I believe I am missing out on quite a bit of sales as my conversion rate on American consumers is poor.
Here is our web traffic data since June(attached is more readable):
June July August September October
USA - Visit 1 296 1108 1718 1675
USA %/total 33.33% 56.60% 71.44% 64.20% 61.83%
Canada - Visit 2 147 238 456 602
Canada %/total 66.67% 28.11% 15.34% 17.04% 22.22%
Japan - Visit 0 6 60 187 176
Japan %/total 0.00% 1.15% 3.87% 6.99% 6.50%
Total - visit 3 523 1551 2676 2709
Despite this, of our total sales, only 15% is to American customers with 75% of sales going to Canadian customers.
Any hypotheses on why our website www.selfiestick.ca is converting quite poorly with American consumers yet is doing well with Canadians?
