I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring too. This is my first crack at ecommerce. Let me know your thoughts and be brutally honest!

is that your website?

Yes. Is it okay that I post it?

Hi,

Excellent site. Professional job. I am guessing you will be adding more products. All I saw was one? ... or...Did I miss them?

The word "shop" might get better results with find out more, more details, discover the benefits, etc.

I recommend that you add more incentive to your email sign up...free relevant ebook or ereport, possibly a discount code for email members, etc...i.e whatever no cost or low cost idea that will increase sign up rate. My experience is that a newsletter is no longer sufficient.

Will you personalize your site? About you, your story, pics, etc., visitors like that kind of stuff.

Landing page may need more sales format or adjectives or "you", if you experience high bounce rate. Your landing page must grab and keep visitor's attention...so a laid back sales format ... and/or unique recipes, too good to be true recipes, news to live by, news for your body...grab attention, create curiosity...Navigation that sells-grin...whatever keeps that visitor on your site.

My impression of your site. WOW! Keep up the good work.

Much Success,
George Pierce

Hi George,

Thanks for taking the time to look my site over. You made some excellent suggestions and in fact, we are in the process of adding more "sales stuff" to the site and improving the newsletter opt-in.

We currently have 16 products, but we are adding many more soon. This is my first attempt at ecommerce, so I'm trying to absorb as much as I can! :)

Thanks again,

Lena
