You’ve got your templates ready, your site is live, and now…crickets? 😬 If you’ve launched your Showit template shop but aren’t seeing the sales you hoped for, you’re not alone. The truth is, just having a shop isn’t enough. You need to build it with conversions in mind.
Let’s walk through the must-haves of a high-converting Showit template shop—so you can stop wondering what’s wrong and start making consistent sales.
Design for Buyers, Not Just Browsers
A lot of designers build their shop like a portfolio. And while pretty is important, your shop isn’t about you—it’s about what your customer needs.
That means:
- Clear product categories (by niche, style, or function)
- Easy-to-understand naming and pricing
- Mobile-friendly everything
- No fluff—just the essentials that guide someone toward a sale
Show, Don’t Just Tell
Your template pages should do more than list features—they should show how that template solves a specific problem.
Try adding:
- Realistic mockups of the template in use
- A short video preview or walkthrough
- Bullet points that explain who the template is perfect for
And if you want to skip the guesswork? The plug-and-play Showit Sales Page Template inside Superhero Academy is built to convert—no fancy copywriting degree required.
Strategic CTAs Are a Game-Changer
Don’t assume people know what to do. Tell them! Every product page should include:
- A bold call-to-action (Buy Now, Add to Cart, etc.)
- Trust-building sections (FAQs, testimonials, guarantees)
- A reminder of the transformation your template provides
When you join Superhero Academy, I show you how to create a shop that naturally guides visitors toward clicking “buy”—without feeling salesy.
Build with the End in Mind
Too many template shops are built reactively. Instead, plan your shop like a funnel:
- Grab attention (through SEO, Pinterest, or Etsy)
- Warm them up (through blog content or email opt-ins)
- Convert them (with a streamlined product page that speaks to their needs)
If that feels overwhelming, don’t worry. I walk you through the whole thing inside the course—from product listings to shop layout to automation.
Make It Easy to Say YES
Want to know the #1 reason people abandon a shop? Confusion.
Your goal is to eliminate any hesitation. Make sure your customer knows:
- What they’re buying
- Who it’s for
- How to use it
- What happens after they buy
And if you’re offering bonuses (like a launch checklist or Canva promo graphics), make those front and center!
You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone
The internet is full of advice on launching an online shop—but most of it isn’t designed for you, the Showit template seller. That’s why I created Superhero Academy—to give designers the exact tools, templates, and strategy I used to grow my own six-figure shop.
