This reads like a major gripe session..sorry...I'm discouraged and looking to vent and get general advice.
Launched my site around July 7th. First 2 weks had no visitors except for friends and friends of friends. Starting paying for placement by search words with Yahoo..now averaging about 30 visitors per day.
No Orders.
My current stuff is a parody of a global line, and I think the art is good. It's simple and well executed. The website is easy to navigate and looks good, not great.
I'm certain my audience has not been exposed enough just yet, but I am surprised that with 300+ visitors, I have only sold shirts to supportive friends.
Could be: Bad Idea - Too Pricy ($14-18 plus shipping), Not enough time, Not reaching target audience - any or all of the above
How long has it taken anyone that is successful to get orders coming in?
Should I be selling down in the $10 range even though my shirts currently cost about $9 to make? (24 at a time -6 color art)
Are there too many Tee stores "out there"...now Wal-Mart and other big department stores have there own lines of "racy" t-shirts that they sell for $10 or less.
I would take specific critques, but I'm not sure I want to throw my design ideas out to potential competitors with stronger businesses just yet. Thanks for letting me vent.
