Would love some feedback on a site I just launched

Would love some feedback on a new project.

Site is selling inspirational posters for entrepreneurs and startups that I designed. Canvas and other product options will be added in the near future.

Thanks!

I like it. I'm a big fan of motivational posters. I've got some in frames on the kitchen wall.

I could never see myself paying that much for a poster.

Although overpriced, i love the website design

As most have mentioned reduce your prices.

. You need a CTA headline on the homepage, why should we buy them?

. You say hidden away in your about section that 'Our colorful designs are printed on high-quality 10.3 mm think heavyweight enhanced matte paper'. Let people know on the home page, don't hide your awesome information or value proposition.

. Also It may just be me but I'm not sure how the poster is sent to me, does it come in a tube, framed or rolled up in a crumpled ball?

Therefore, let your customers know what they're getting as soon as they land on the site

Otherwise great designs and as a personal preference I don't like large logos on posters but that's just me. Best of luck!

I think this is a cool idea and I was actually just thinking that I wish that I had posters like this around my place.

A couple of things:

- I like the designs but they are a little pricey for me and this is coming from someone who is all for high prices. See point 3 on price

- In the future it would be cool if there is a way to do a custom quote.

- I would also look into packaging this up and selling a package of posters to offices, especially sales teams that are in a boiler room type of setting where motivation is key. You can then justify a higher price by bundling items together and even have a really high end service where you do custom designs and quotes.

Good luck

The site looks clean. Have you considered offering frames? It looks like you offer 2 different sizes of posters. Could you maybe offer 3 different styles of frames for each of the two sizes? I don't know. Maybe the shipping would get too expensive with the frames?

^ this - You can get frames really cheap and then I would be able to justify your price tag.

Site looks good and the posters too, but as already mentioned a few times, I wouldn't pay that amount for a poster. The newsletter button and text color doesn't fit your overall color scheme IMO, not sure if that's on purpose.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I just lowered the prices a bit. The posters are printed on a much higher quality type of paper than the typical poster you'd get in a store selling $5 posters. Maybe I need to do a better job at conveying that on the site. I could potentially offer cheaper paper for cheaper prices, but don't want to sell budget products.

If you were selling me those posters face to face and I pulled out my wallet, stopped and said, wait a minute.. why does it cost so much? what would you say?

That the prices are based on the costs of using high-quality paper, printers, and ink, as well as the time that goes into creating each design. Also, you're not just getting a piece of paper. You're getting a constant reminder to stay motivated and inspired to keep working on growing your business.

Website is very sleek and responsive. Agree on the prices. Canvas's would make sense, but not paper posters IMHO.

Those posters are pretty awsome though!

I'd also consider adding photos of the posters hung on a wall, in an office, etc. It's gives a better context of the size and look for a lot of people. Consider offering a printed Canvas with wrapped edges or framed as other suggest.

Hi. There are photos of posters hung on walls and people holding them on each product details page.

Sorry if I missed it. I didn't go through many pages, but I only saw a mock-up in the one I checked out. https://www.getbraindrops.com/product/focus-on-one-thing-motivational-poster/

The mock up looks like an obvious render to me and has no reference to other objects to give you a sense of relative scale.
