I was surprised not be greeted with high quality photos of examples of past candy. To see any of your product I need to find the 'past candy' link then decide on which unfamiliar product to click on.
- bemmu 14y agoYes, also intuitively to me it would make sense to have such photos, but I found the same thing as Manpacks did (http://mixergy.com/manpacks-ken-johnson-interview/ http://mixergy.com/manpacks-ken-johnson-interview/) that showing product photos on the main page lowers conversions. It seems people are in it for the surprise factor.
- patio11 14y agoP.S. This is not untrue for software in many cases. Some products get a big boost out of screenshots. Many don't, and instead get big boosts by e.g. showing pictures of users or the team which wrote the software. (Whether a screenshot helps is surprisingly uncorrelated with my subjective impression of which products are "pretty", even given that I have less artistic sense than a mole rat.)
- bemmu 14y agoAny tips btw. for content I should have on the site for SEO purposes? Even though I rank for the generic term "japanese candy" and also some specific candies, I haven't been able to convert people except those searching for the site specifically (http://i.imgur.com/OnVIF.png http://i.imgur.com/OnVIF.png)
- ticks 14y agoHate to say it, but I suspect that showing photos will put some customers off because the products don't look substantial enough. I realise that there are overheads and that your service is presumably aimed at people with a high enough disposable income.
