Abuse my Muse

Just put it up today after 2 hours of work...I know it is an expensive product in a niche market, but I'm hoping for the best with my upcoming adwords trial.

Pretty cool. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

you are correct in both the market niche and price, tell us on how it goes...I myself am still trying to think of a product for the martial arts niche that I want to cater to...

The product looks very cool! I could see myself running through the neighborhood with them! I like the use of the YouTube video too.

That said, your website needs some work to be more user-friendly. I had to click twice to get a true idea of what the Evolution Stilts did. All of that information should be on your front page. Additionally, the prose of your site does a great job stating (once I found it) what the product does but it doesn't tell much of a story (read "Made to Stick" if that doesn't make sense). The YouTube video is rather long (I was ready to turn it off after 1.5 minutes) and it isn't branded with your site. Anyway you can do that?

Good luck on the Muse!

HAHA those look like a blast! I'd love to throw on some crazy outfit and run through Central Park...

Page looks cool.. to expensive for me but looks fun..

Thank you both for the feeback. I think you both have a good point...the product is great, but it is more than most people are willing to pay. I'm also doing a test on ebay to see if it can even be sold.

I can fix the video, that is no problem.

Would you suggest keeping the product pricing on the front page or keep it only on the buy menu? I can add more detail, I just had a hard time picking what to throw on there.

I'll definately keep working on it though!

Maybe promote it more of a stuntman product. Your market is going to be that novelty seeker group and you can get this price if you position it right.

In other words, give thought to Want to be a stunt man in a movie? That's just a position statement but there might be something there. Skate boarders, snow boarders in an off season. Does it help train you for jumps associated with another sport?

The video gets repetitive pretty quickly. It's great at first, but then the fellow looks to run out of ideas on what else to do and ends up just repeating the same stunts over and over.

Maybe you can figure out some more stunts and add them in rather than repeating the same few. How about jumping over things, or competing against someone else? Plus, if you show people competing in some way you might just get double purchases . . .

Don't mean to be cruel, but that's how I see it.

It's a product that could really be fun.

I'd suggest that you get rid of most of the words and put some more pictures and video up.

This is from the front page -
"Buy from us and not only will you get the best quality product on the market, but you'll also get the best guarantee on the market!" Don't write in the double negative and be specific about the guarantee. You boast about the best guarantee in the market but you provide no evidence to back it up. Put your warranty up and let people decide for themselves if it is the best in the market.

Look at this from your contact page "Our staff works hard to make sure all customers have the greatest experience possible. Feel free to email us with any questions, comments, or concerns." It's fluff - in fact probably not true - you don't have a whole lot of staff working to make sure all your customers have a great experience. Put up a contact form and people will know what to do.

Cheers

Pete
