What matters more at launch: traffic or product range

Resources at launch are limited, and two urges pull them in different directions: uploading more products and bringing in more people. Both seem right, but the order matters.

Why neither of them works

📦

Product range without traffic

Five thousand items and not a single order, because nobody knows about the store. A catalog only means you are ready to sell; sales are a separate step.

👥

Traffic without a product range

A person came for a product, and the category has three items, none of which fit. The money for the click is spent, and there is no sale.

The order

How to do it right

1

Depth in one category

Choose a category you can cover properly and fill it until customers have a real choice.

2

Traffic to that very category

Ads or SEO promotion for specific pages instead of the whole store at once.

3

Expansion based on data

You add the next category based on what customers asked about, what they searched for in the site search and what was missing.

The result

What this approach gives you

You do not spend months on products nobody needs. Every expansion of the catalog rests on real demand instead of assumptions.
Orders start coming in earlier. And with them comes data, without which every further decision would be guesswork.
