Every
eCommerce seller knows that when it comes to selling products online, ads
creative and content on that is the king. When consumers cannot hold a product
in their hands, top-quality content can bridge the gap – through rich
information, pictures, videos, and more. Optimizing online content serves
manufacturers and retailers alike; but often, we still see product listings on
the ecommerce sites that leave shoppers under-informed or simply uninspired.
AS we talk some eCommerce
sellers, they know well what does and what doesn’t speak to customers. Below
are some common mistakes you look before you list your product on eCommerce
platform.
1. Research about
products: You should spent some time by researching what type of
products sell instead of jumping without the parachute. If you're jumping into
the e-commerce space, talk to as many experts in the industry as possible, do
throughout research, and assess your competition.
2. Sticking to
the basics of the product: Today, rich
content is the name of the eCommerce game. Rich and A+ content (interactive
media, sell-sheets, video demos) empowers brands to deliver compelling shopping
experiences across digital touch points – while basic, meat-and-potatoes
information puts you at an immediate disadvantage.
3. Brand Highlighting: With so many product listings to choose from, consumers need to
understand why your brand is special – and your passion should live on your
product pages. Putting your company’s story forward can be a strong
differentiator, showing that you have a solid history and a reputation for quality.
In eCommerce, linking to your website, social media pages, and other resources
can help put buyers at ease, improve SEO, and even close the sale.
4. Product listing by one Image: Life is a
360-degree experience – but some online sellers think their customers should be
happy with just one perspective. Check out top sellers on Amazon – you will see
that they always provide multiple product images from a variety of angles.
Since online shoppers cannot walk around your item in person, multiple images
provide the next best thing.
5. Content Written
In ALL Caps: To identify yourself immediately as an eCommerce novice, use all-caps
lettering. It is hard on shoppers’ eyes and ultimately becomes illegible in
large quantities. Seeing titles, subtitles, or marketing copy set in all caps
WILL MAKE THE READER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE YELLING AT THEM. Make your type natural
and varied; using extreme tactics to catch people’s attention will only drive
them to another product or site.
6. Unguided
experience to customers: A potential
buyer may not know what product they need — but they do have details like size,
price and tech specs. A product selector on your site can steer them to the
perfect item – and keep them within your selection universe. With anything
less, you run the risk of losing customers to rival vendors and brands.
