Ask HN: Getting users to use the product, overcoming obscurity

3 pointsby Apaneover 9 years ago
I&#x27;m the co-founder of venuevortex.com.<p>We&#x27;re having a problem with users using the product, a lot of the visits are one-off visits from paid ads, content marketing etc...<p>How can we make the visits more &quot;sticky&quot; and make them come back and actually continuously use the product?<p>I&#x27;ve successfully on-boarded the supply side but the demand side I could use some advice on.<p>Thoughts?

The fact that users have to select a city as the first step is probably costing you 20-50% of your visitors.<p>You should be guessing what city they&#x27;re in by IP. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.maxmind.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;geoip-demo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.maxmind.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;geoip-demo</a>

I&#x27;m not considering myself an expert, but the front page doesn&#x27;t look interesting to me. Maybe in your case it would make more sense to learn from front pages, similar to Expedia&#x2F;Kayak. At the very least, A&#x2F;B test it.

Small point: The site has too many exclamation points.
