When sales are down, the instinct is almost always the same: spend more on ads to bring in more traffic. It's rarely the right first move. Most online stores are converting only a small slice of the visitors they already have — often two per cent or less — which means the store is leaking the majority of the customers it's already paid to attract, before a single new dollar is spent chasing more of them. This Conversation is about fixing the leak before buying more water.
