Payment Options
Offering a variety of payment options is a good idea if you want to boost your sales. Most customers will use debit or credit card details but consider using PayPal and other methods.
Delivery
Offer a range of delivery options including a fast service. Customers using the internet don’t usually want to wait for their products so as well as offering a cheap delivery service you should offer a fast track one too.
Product Descriptions
Label up your products well and use keywords to attract customers. If you don’t, it will be harder for a consumer to find your product in a search. So consider this whenever you are writing a product description.
Special Offers
People are drawn to special offers and want to know they are getting the best deal. So regularly review your online products and ensure you are keeping up with the competition.
Easy to Read
A lot of this does depend on the site you are using to sell the product. For instance, if a site you use is not mobile friendly, you can add as much product description as you like but the information and visibility will probably still be poor. To counteract this ensure you do your research on where you intend to place the products and ensure they are mobile and Smartphone friendly. If you have your own e-Commerce site you should do the same and ensure you test it regularly.
