You don't need thousands of users visiting your website and not converting, you need 1 single user that is coming in with a purchase and mind and converting on your website, signing up to your loyalty program and then reffering his/her closed circle. Focus on having conversion and bottom of the funnel in mind and as a CTA not traffic.
