When you first buy something, whether you realize it or
not, you are asking questions about the product in your
head. These questions are used in the decision making
process of whether or not you are going to buy something
from a seller. If you are looking to start an online
business, you need to anticipate these questions for a
buyer so that you can be sure your customer is making the
decision to buy. Since you can't be physically present for
your customer to ask these questions, you need to ask them
of yourself first. Here are four questions that your
product needs to be able to answer for the customer.
What Will It Do for Me?
The use needs to be clear for your product. When you don't
specify the use or many uses of an item, the customer will
wonder why they even need to purchase it in the first
place. You will want to think about what the product is
going to do for the customer - you can even make a list.
Then, this list, or perhaps shorter descriptions, should be
on your website to guide the reader to the answers they are
looking for. Perhaps you can show pictures of how the
product can be used or you can have testimonials from
previous customers about how the item was useful in their
life as well. By clearly showing the usefulness and how
the product works (as well as its limitations), you will
increase the chances of it being sold in the first place.
How Will It Help My Life?
The question that many budget-conscious people are asking
is how the product will help in their everyday life. If
there isn't a clear benefit to the product, there is no
reason to buy it. You want to show that your product can
save time, reduce stress, increase health, or whatever it
is able to do. Show test results, statistics of satisfied
customers or perhaps even detail how the product helps you
in your life. For example, if you are selling vacuum
cleaners, you might want to talk about how the canister is
bag-less or that the HEPA filter is going to clean the air
from pollutants or allergens. Think about real life ways
that your product will change a customer's life.
Is the Price Reasonable?
Along with showing what and why a product does what it
does, you are establishing the value of the product for the
customer. If you aren't able to clearly show this
connection, you will cause a customer to wonder why they
should spend the money in the first place. The price you
set will begin to show the value that you see in your
product, but alongside the uses and the method of use, you
will truly begin to answer the customer's concerns about
whether the price is right.
Is this Product High Quality?
Of course, no one wants to buy anything that isn't high
quality. You want to buy something that will last a long
time, or at least as long as you will need to use it. In
order to show this, you will want to have clear pictures of
the products on your site as well as accurate listings of
the ingredients or the components of the item itself. This
will help your customer compare other similar products and
it will also help you demonstrate what a quality product
looks like to you.
The more questions you can think of before your customer,
the better prepared you will be to answer them.
