Optimize Your Product Listings

Amazon buyers take a second to make their decision whether they wish to buy or search other things. How would you plan to retain your customer to stay a little longer on your product page and go further to its details and considers buying it. Start with making the process easy.

  1. Titles: Your title should clearly describe your product, and if it fits well with their requirements. It should have your brand name. The title should clarify the products benefit and the most important it should be concise and crisp.
  2. Bullets: Make sure all the necessary details are on bullet points before the customer has to scroll down or search other pages and details. Mention the warranty and customer service point for any issue.
  3. Images are important: The main image should be clear and without zooming, it should hold the actual image. Other images can be with other angles of the product with a relevant lifestyle picture. Make sure there is one image of the backside of the box showing the ingredients and instructions.
  4. Product descriptions: Customers do not read a 10 line long paragraphs so make sure that the description is mentioned with relevant and important selling points so that it becomes easier for them to understand why they need to buy now.

Encourage Reviews

Review of a product also has an impact on the other sales channels too including your Shopify site. As customers, do research before buying.

Amazon has recently changed its review policy. Amazon has banned reviews for discounted products and for professional sellers too. Sellers can send a follow up email on a particular order or through automated services that would allow them to manage the process.

  • A seller can send promotional or marketing emails.
  • They have use links to other websites
  • They can demand or ask for true and positive reviews.

Do not make your emails aggressive and give a chance to the customer to write a negative feedback.

Run Sponsored Product Ads
