How to Optimize Your Product Pages for More Sales

Posted on by Kent Gigger
Optimize your ecommerce product pages to increase sales.

Everyone who owns an ecommerce store knows how important it is to get people to visit the website. But it’s just as essential to get the people who do visit to make a purchase or two. With ecommerce sales expected to reach $735 billion by 2023, acquiring a large piece of that pie should be a priority. One way to do that is by having the best possible product page so that users buy more items from you.

Lots of businesses in ecommerce focus on improving their checkout and cart pages, but the product pages matter as much, if not more, than those components of a site. This is where you can hook customers who aren’t sure whether to buy from you or not. Since ecommerce customers can’t feel or see your products in person, you want to do everything you can to give them the information they need to decide your product is the one they want.

Should Your Warehouse Be Closer to the Factory or the Customer?

The location of your warehouse can play a significant role in your store’s profitability. Consider the example of an e-commerce store selling licensed NBA jerseys. In this case, an L.A. Lakers jersey is more likely to be sold in and around Los Angeles than anywhere else. Stocking this inventory at a warehouse close to Los Angeles is common sense. On the other hand, let us consider a store that sells licensed Disney merchandise online. In this case, the buyers come from all across North America, and even the world. Would you identify your major markets and stock your inventory close to these locations? Or would you stock your inventory close to your manufacturer’s location and ship them to the customer on demand? There are no easy answers here, especially considering that rival stores like Amazon ship their products overnight. Housing your inventory close to the manufacturing location could dramatically increase shipping time, and this puts your store at a disadvantage. At the same time, if your products are made in a country like China, your holding costs here are significantly lower than what it would cost to stock inventory in the U.S. Here are a few factors to take into account when determining the location of your warehouse.
