Temu (temu.com) is an online retailer for electronics, home decor, pet supplies, sports, and toys offering wholesale prices.

ALTERNATIVES

Similar sites to Temu include AliExpress, Etsy, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Amazon (co.jp), Alibaba, and Target.

DESCRIPTION

The temu.com homepage had a lot of detail. It utilized thumbnails with meta descriptions and data beneath them. I noticed that many of the items on the homepage were on sale. Sales are a good way to increase user engagement. But I recommend having sales on a dedicated page and instead having your latest or best items available on the homepage because it changes the brand perception. If people only see sales on the homepage, they won’t feel that you run a premium brand. Most people don’t expect premium items to be on sale unless they have become dated.

HISTORY

As of July 2023, the site temu.com has an estimated 252 million monthly views, according to Similar Web. The Wayback Machine estimates that temu.com was founded for the first time on September 23, 2002; however, it was saved sparingly between 2002 and 2019 and wasn’t saved at all during 2020 or 2021. Since mid 2022, it has been saved regularly, suggesting it may have new owners since then. The Internet Archive has saved the domain temu.com 118,374 times between September 23, 2002 and August 18, 2023.

I also checked temu.com on VirusTotal, and it is clean; however, it does have an unfavorable community score.
