Growing an eCommerce site isn’t easy. It’s tough getting organic visitors to buy, right? On average, only 2-3% of organic visitors make purchases on such sites.

However, there are some individuals out there who have achieved huge success in eCommerce development solutions. Most of them regard content as the real king. 

When we say content, we mean everything on your site, including product descriptions, images, blog posts, guides, etc. Your customers want helpful info to solve their problems.

Whether you’re new or want more sales, focus on your content. Make sure it engages people and answers their questions. We’ve put together some important tips that may be of help to you in crafting high-converting e-commerce content.

Tips for Creating Effective eCommerce Content

Know Your Customer

It’s important to learn all about your ideal customer. Study who they are and what they need and want. Find out things like where they live and what problems you can solve for them. This will help make your content perfect for your specific buyers.

For example, say you sell electric scooters online in London. Your customer is likely someone who wants green transportation. You’d want to know the local rules for using scooters, too, so your content fits your London customers well. Getting to know your customers inside and out helps content work.

Give Helpful Answers

People want their questions answered so they feel confident buying. Provide content that solves problems for customers. Maybe explain how to use your product safely or share real reviews from happy buyers. Answering “What’s in it for me?” makes potential buyers much more likely to purchase from you.

Keep Testing and Learning

It’s a good idea to try different types of content and pay attention to what gets the best responses. Then do more of what works. Also pay attention to customer feedback to keep improving over time. You can always keep learning more about your ideal buyers too.

Adopt a PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution) Writing Approach

People are fed up with the ‘’Selling’’ approach. You should first discuss the problem in a few lines, then agitate your audience to take a step, and lastly offer a solution (which would be in the form of your product or services) without looking too promotional. 

For example, if you are promoting a dog food item (that can help dogs with their digestive problems) on your eCommerce site’s blog, you should use the following approach:

Problem

Dogs are more prone to food poisoning and other digestive issues. This is because they don’t hesitate to taste anything they find in their way. (It could be rotted cheesecake, old eggs, or musty bread lying on the floor of your kitchen.)

Agitate

The continuous consumption of unhealthy food can lead to serious health conditions. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to see your furry friend sobbing due to extreme pain.

Solution

Switching to a food that is formulated with digestive health in mind can be beneficial. Our food contains special ingredients that are not only healthy but also offer immunity to digest unhealthy snacks and foods………

As you can see above, our example text doesn’t start with ‘’Selling.’’ It gradually makes its point, encouraging readers to switch to a specific food item without being promotional. 

Going with the PAS approach has been shown effective in turning visitors into qualified leads. You can consider adopting this approach for better results. It will always work best, no matter what type of e-commerce content you’re writing. It could be a landing page, product description, newsletter, blog post, etc. 

Portray Yourself as the ‘’Trusted Brand’’

Always remember that no one will believe you unless you provide them with solid proof, which could be customer testimonials, case studies, achievements, or anything proving you as a trusted service provider.

You should create your eCommerce content in a way that helps build trust for your business. Don’t hesitate to talk about positive customer reviews or accolades that you’ve received for delivering quality products. It will help attract new customers and convert them into leads.

Write Clear and Flawless

Your e-commerce content should be to the point and free from all types of writing flaws. There shouldn’t be any ambiguity in your writing. Whatever you write, make sure it makes its point. If you don’t clearly explain your products, chances are that you won’t see any improvement in your conversion rates. 

Try to use specific wording that is common among your target audience. There’s no point in using an academic writing tone to promote stuffed toys. There are many tools available online that can assist you with this. For example, a sentence rephraser tool can help you replace unwanted words, add clarity, and achieve the desired writing tone. A grammar-checking tool can prove helpful in removing writing errors.
