Running an e-commerce store is completely different ball game than running a traditional brick and mortar store. From payment gateways to product presentation, things are poles apart. However, customers from any marketplace, whether online or offline, want assurance about the product that they’re going to buy.

If they’re in a physical marketplace, they can get that confidence by examining it themselves. But, how can a new E-commerce store give them that same level of assurance on screen? If you’re a newbie, your product impression depends upon its presentation, pricing and reviews. You should present images and description of your niche’ products effectively in order to generate sales. But how? Let’s discuss them down below: -

PRODUCT PHOTOGRPAHS: -

1. Your product’s photograph is the first thing that visitors are going to see, so it’s better be clear, focussed and in proper lighting.

· Product type=> Cleaner

· Capacity => 10 L

· Weight=> 6 kg

· Wattage=>1100 W

· Warranty=>1 year

3. It should be SEO friendly so that people can find it when they search on Google. Appropriate Keywords should be chosen for fine search results.

Customer only reads first two or three lines of description on Google & other ad platforms, so try to insert your keywords initially because after that description of product gets shorten by these platforms.

4. While writing about your product, focus more on verbs rather than on adjectives. For instance, “Vacuum cleaner that sucks all the dirt” is far better “Efficient Vacuum Cleaner for cleaning”.

In E-commerce, what pleases to the eye is what sells in the market. Most business owners lose potential leads because their product
