Tips on how to make your product more attractive

  1. Cover image

  • Attractive: Select an image that is attractive and can stand out on the product page.

 

  1. Product images
  • Multiple views: Provides images at multiple view angles to allow customers to see your product more clearly.
  • Effect picture: Try using effect pictures of your product in real scenarios, helping your customers to see the application of your product and therefore make their decisions.

 

  1. Product name
  • Simple & clear: Use a simple and clear name to convey your design ideas or the core feature of the product.
  • Keyword included: Consider some keywords related to your product, helping your customers to understand it.

(For example, if you are to sell a sports T-shirt with the quick-drying function, you can use a short and attractive name like "Quick Dry Sports Tee" or "Qucik Dry Shirt", which highlights the feature of your product and can be easily understood.)

 

  1. Product price
  • Clear and transparent: The product price should be clear and transparent without any hidden fees, which can be trusted by customers.
  • Special offers: If there are any promotion campaigns or special offers, clearly state the discounts, which can help increase your orders.

 

  1. Product description
  • Detailed description: Provide a detailed product description, including important information such as sizes, colors, and texture.
  • Scenario highlighting: Highlight the advantages and application scenarios of your product, helping your customers to easily understand its value.
  • Customer comments: Try citing some positive comments of some customers to show that your product is trusted, and thus get more orders.
