ok... yet another question... a survey, if you will.

what % of the visitors to your site (your hits i suppose) do you think actually purchases one of your shirts? I'm attempting to put together a rough budget (real rough).. but would have no idea how many shirts people actually might purchase from me... i figure asking others to estimate % of visitors purchasing their shirts might be the way to go

thanks

It depends on a huge range of factors.

As a start, I'd aim for a 3-5% conversion (which is solid), and go from there. Depending on how you market, your merchendise, and your site, it can range from 0% to 20% (or higher, if your marketing is absolutely pitch perfect)

I'd agree with that, but 1-2% also seems like a common enough conversion rate (even of a store turning a profit), so while I'd aim for 3-5% as a realistic goal, I wouldn't expect to get it straight off.

3-5% is if you do everything right, and you know what you're doing...

So far, 0%.

You're done with your site, now?

What kind of marketing have you done? I think you have the potential for some great things!

Hello,
One way of getting a higher conversion rate if your marketing online is to
use google adwords & do what is called a split test to keep testing your headlines , this will also tell you which keywords are really bringing in the customers & which are not..There is some great info out there relating to how to do this.

Yeah I think you just need to work on your marketing, your site looks great and you have a specific market, so I don't see you having a problem converting visitors to buyers. You just need to attract the right people.

For me it's been very roughly 1%. It can be a lot higher or lower.
But that's probably the median percentage rate.

 

[Vtec44]

Yep, about 1-2% for me also. But good thing I don't rely on Internet sales only.

 

[jdr8271]

some days 0%, other days 10%...it just depends. I couldnt really say what my average is, because it is always fluctuating.

 

[Vtec44]

So far, 0%.

You have a great looking site. I wish mine looks that good.

Nice find. I used it for a few quick estimates on my site and got a couple of nice figures I think it's more for fun than anything though

It also claims one of my domains, which is nothing more than a holding space at the moment, non-indexed, and essentially internet widerness, is worth the same. Don't trust leapfish.com

I tried seeing how much yahoo was worth.. I'm pretty sure it's worth quite more than $1,393,944 considering they're a multi-billion dollar corporation that relies on it's site name.

I managed to get one as low as Base value - $132 / Actual value - $2,904. But even that is absurd when you consider it's a .net (not .com) and 18 characters long...

its just for giggles

Curious how many visitors you all are getting?? Not the amount of people purchasing but just general visitors to the website.

 

[statc]

My average is about 125 visits a day.
