Last three months 3.06 Google analytics (55.18 bounce rate).
This number is low for us as we require customer sign up but have a Huge customer retention program. Thank you 3dcart (Jimmy).

These numbers can change dramatically for the right or wrong reasons if you do adwords.

If you don't do adwords then template changes should always be viewed and monitored as conversion rate, is the key.

Always keep stats on every turn. Stats don't mean much at first but when you have several years of data you will know slow and great selling times of year for products and or categories. Then you can plan your specials, newsletters, relocation, and vacation times that fit your industry.

Sure

• 2 day delivery.
• Require registration
• A newsletter that offers info that your customers cannot live without. (not just sale items) (only 1 monthly newsletter or risk being unsubscribed)
• compelling reason to make purchase.
• Rewards.

You will need to fill in the blanks.

Hey James you have learned a lot over the past few years your forum activity shows it. You may want to update your copyright to look more creditable.

Good Luck
