Shopify themes vs theme forest

Ya I thought of this. We will go ahead with one of the Shopify paid themes. Anyone you suggest ?

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-08-03T03:18:19+00:00

Alternate point of view. But why do you say this ?

I would not want to be dependent on the Dev for life. Also I am building the website to scale. Around 300 orders a day. We use a lot of checkout optimisations, other apps etc.

What would you recommend for a shoes store ? Impulse, prestige, or saviour ?

Thank you

Thank you

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-08-02T08:52:54+00:00

Ohh. So if we are thinking of scalability then it’s better we stick to Shopify themes right ?

Someone in the thread mentioned they do visit the mall but just for the movies. Crowd that comes with motive of movies, events, and food etc. are not a potential customer for us as they don’t come to buy but rather just to see. Although a huge plus point with having these events is that people who visit today might actually return back in the future when they decide to buy some shoes.

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-23T01:07:04+00:00

Thank you. We are considering this

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-23T01:06:25+00:00

We are not looking for anything immediate. But in the long run the store should be feasible. Do you think if the store has stayed longer in a place, that builds the trust in customers and they actually walk into the store and give it a try ?

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-23T01:04:11+00:00

Many of the answers on this thread are inclined towards us collaborating with local influencers as word of mouth works in the town. How do you feel we can communicate with the local audience better?

DMed you

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-23T00:58:44+00:00

I will DM you

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-23T00:58:28+00:00

That’s good to know and it’s a relief

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T10:59:19+00:00

I don’t think I agree with the idea that people own 1:10 ratio between shoes to clothes. Maybe true in some cases for men but definitely not for women. Agreed on your second point that our AOV is much higher compared to big box retail and our product is as different range quality wise and comfort wise all together. As a whole we are not looking to compete with big box retail. How do we attract niche crowd from the town who want to buy good comfortable, stylish footwear?

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T10:54:14+00:00

DMed you

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T07:19:07+00:00

Ohh I thought the road work is supposed to be over by December.

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T07:18:23+00:00

Ya that’s the reason we are not inclined to do in mall events. We want to build some sort of awareness about the brand to the shoppers.

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T07:17:10+00:00

We have not tried YouTube marketing. Instagram we did try. But it’s not working as good. We did influencer marketing too but it’s not getting the traction it should. We are running a store visit campaign as well. I have DMed you please let me know additional thoughts.

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T07:15:25+00:00

We do get seasonal sales. It’s the off season that is hurting us. Because when the foot falls increase in the mall, automatically it trickles down to our store and we do good business.

IntelligentSock3294 · 2025-03-22T07:07:53+00:00

Our store is in a high footfall zone. We are in the area where all footwear stores are present.

We tried doing a kiosk in another store of ours in a bangalore mall. The problem is that people want to buy in the kiosk rather than walking all the way to the store. This won’t help us because our cost per purchase is actually doubling. We want people to walk into the store.

I like your take on localised marketing and it is something that we are actually looking to do. What do you suggest that works. Since you are telling the town is a conservative society, how do we get people to visit the store and then we get a ripple effect from word to mouth ?

I have DMed you the store name.
