Quite odd,
checking the Bandcamp statistics for my Bandcamp page shows that when I added the Schwervon/Jeff Lewis EP and the Diane Cluck/Jeff Lewis collaborations material, the action at the page dropped massively. Right now it has been seven days since anything was bought from my Bandcamp page, but before this week there had never been more than three days in row without a single sale of something ever since the first day the Bandcamp page existed. Usually there's maybe one or two things that get sold every day, and then one day or two days where nothing sells, then another sale or two. On a big day there might be five sales. There was only one time where three days went by with no sales.
I really thought that adding more albums to the Bandcamp page would be a good thing, make it more interesting and increase the options for stuff to listen to and buy, but maybe it is too cluttered now? Things were going well when there were only 4 or 6 albums on the page - shortly right after I upped it to 8 albums on the page it turned into zero sales, day after day after day, up to and including zero sales today, now a full week of nothing.
Is the quantity the answer? Just too much stuff to look at or listen to at once? Or just too visually unappealing to have so many small album covers rather than a few bigger album covers taking up the same space?
Maybe I should experiment and remove a couple things, bring it back down to 6 albums, and see what happens.
Has anybody else had any experience with this sort of stuff?
It's really interesting that Bandcamp lets you access all the statistics so easily. |
