Looks are important. They are one of the first things that actually influence someone to come and check out your product, therefore, it is important to give them a visual treat. Make sure that your product photographs are of top quality and listed out in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Today’s shoppers are also interested in knowing a lot more about the product: who made it, where did it come from, is it made sustainably, how is the product made, what goes into the making of the product, what are the raw materials, etc. The more information they get, the more information they have to go ahead and make a purchase decision. Go ahead, tell them everything. The more they know, the more the chances they may buy.

Here’s a piece of relationship advice - Listening is always good in any relationship. Be it a seller-buyer relation. Pay attention to what your buyers are saying about the product. Reply to every query and engage with every reviewer, especially for the negative feedback. Improve your product or process as per the reviews. The more approachable and engaging you are, the easier for the shoppers to communicate with you. Better communication, better feedback. Good feedback and reviews, good amounts of trust.

As a seller, it is one of the biggest benefits Amazon offers. Our delivery service, Amazon Easy Ship picks up the orders from the seller’s location using amazon logistics and then delivers it directly to the buyer’s location. The whole shipping process is thus hassle-free for the sellers. So, once you’ve got your product listed on Amazon, pay attention to how you strategize your shipping and fulfillment policies. Define your order and shipping processes. Stick to your timeline. On-time delivery is one of the highlights of Amazon that shoppers look up to. Don’t make false promises of one-day delivery if you can’t.

Yes, pricing matters. In a universe where there are many, many brands fighting for attention, value is an integral factor in a shopper’s purchase decision. Keeping the option of competitive pricing is important, especially during sales and offers when the number of shoppers flooding the sites increase. Give them a good quality product, give them a good price. Surely, the chances of making a sale will be higher.


These are just some of the best practices to ensure you get your online business on the right track. Now, this may seem daunting to you but don’t worry.
