Informative rather than Descriptive Be informative rather than descriptive while developing content for online products. Clearly mention size, length, quantity, weight etc. Customers want to get confirmed that they are buying the right thing. More information provides better visibility.
More You Hide, the More They Suspect If you are selling something that comes with a guarantee or warranty then clearly mention it in your product description along with the exact duration. It will clear the customer confusion that might become a hindrance in sale. Electronic goods with high value usually come up with such offers. Don’t hide. Transparency is the basic mantra of success here.
What about Shipping Charges? Be upfront. There are certain pain points of online buyers. Shipping charges are one of them. Many a time people change their mind at the last moment after looking at shipping charges.
