Hey everyone,
So I'm starting to sell a product that's similar to what exists on the market and was selling great before.
I know that my competition sells it at $130 without a problem.
I know that an alternative (cheaper + lower quality + a little different) sells on average at $100.
I've priced mine at $199 and got 1 sale.
I know that the traffic is laser focused. I'm running Google Ads for the exact search term. I've had 200 clicks. The website is looking good. Social proof and everything. I'm not worried about that.
If it wasn't working for the cheap competitors then there is just no way that they would afford to pay so much for a single conversion... they must convert 1/20 visitors to just break even.
Based on Hotjar I can see that the majority of people spend 1 min or more on the website and actually click buttons, select options, etc. They add to cart, but no one buys.
Side note: you can not find my direct competitor through google search. You can only find cheap alternatives.
My assumption is that the price is too high.
The category is personalized gifts. And I am assuming that at this price point, even though the product has a wow effect and is unique, people are just not ready to commit right away. Perhaps they need to think about it and come back later.
I will start running display ads remarketing soon to follow website visitors around and see if they convert.
Any thoughts, anyone?
