Hello this is Sam from Toronto. A brief introduction of mine can be found here:

I am currently running a website selling teddy bears online and I hope I can get some opinions about my idea. Basically, my website sells good quality teddy bear but the main selling points of my business is that it allows people to ship the gift straight to the recipient as a surprise. People who ordered teddy bear from my website will get a free greeting card with their personal message (they leave the message before check-out). The teddy bear will also be packaged into a premium gift box. People who ordered the teddy bear can have their gift packaged nicely and shipped straight to the girl to surprise her.

I have started testing the response with google adwords and google analytics but the bounce rate seems very high. I am hoping I can get some opinions about where the problems are. So I have a few questions:

1) Do you think this is a sound business idea?
2) If Yes, do you think my website effectively communicate the right message? (My website address is gift15.ca)
3) Any web design advice on my website?

Thanks and any help is appreciated.
Sam
