Do Your Product Descriptions Really Matter?

So you are selling on Etsy, eBay, Amazon, or other forums that require you to have product descriptions. Your time is restricted, and you are wondering if your product descriptions really matter. What if you could just spend a little less time writing out the details? 

Well, you may not want to try selling without having great product descriptions. In virtually any article written concerning selling online, and based on sellers' experiences, the more details that you give in a well-written way, the more items you will sell - especially if you have products that people want.

It takes time to write the descriptions. It really does. It seems so tempting to take the easier route and not write complete details. However, think about looking for items out of your own interest. What are you more likely to buy? Something that leaves you guessing whether it is the right item or another post that gives you all of the details so you know for sure that this is the correct merchandise?

Exactly. That is how the majority of people choose what to purchase when deciding between two similar sellers.

So how do you solve the problem?

Without spending a lot of money, it is possible to hire someone to write descriptions. If you are selling items that already have online descriptions, you can simply instruct the writer on how to write the description based on the online details. If not, you can speak with the writer or business owner to give them the details. 

When accurate and detailed product descriptions are placed on the forums of your choice, you may be surprised at increased sales. It may take some time to notice the difference because customers have to find you first. However, conversion rates tend to be a lot higher with better details about the merchandise.
