For your products to sell they need to be noticed in the first place. Not only do they need to shine in the limelight, but they have to entice and intrigue your audience.
This can be difficult to achieve without spending a little time making sure the right measures are in place, be it online or in the physical world. In reality, paying attention to both is often the best way forward.
If you want to help your products shine and jump into the arms and thoughts of your audience, check out these five tips.
-
Use Audio Description
Good digital accessibility is, unfortunately, not always as common as it should be. Many people live with disabilities, and much of the responsibility of offering them equal opportunities when it comes to commerce falls on the shoulders of business owners just like you.
By using a reliable and accurate audio description tool, you can enable those who have a sight impairment to access your product pages.
This can help you work toward supporting your entire customer base, while simultaneously extending your product’s reach.
A greater reach can hopefully translate to more sales, especially if you make a name for your brand as one that cares about the customer.
-
Create Supporting Video Content
If you can showcase your products in all of their deserved glory, you can add an extra dimension to your marketing efforts.
Video content is ideal in this area, especially if you elect to film ‘how to’ tutorials where you explain the product and show it being used in a practical setting.
Plus, this can give your marketing department some more content to work with, which is good news for anyone wishing to make the most out of social media.
-
Write Authentic, High-Quality Product Descriptions
Tone of voice is nearly everything when it comes to writing copy, and product descriptions are no different.
Writing an engaging, knowledgeable, concise and understandable product description can help your goods stand out on the page, be it in the virtual store or otherwise.
This does not mean you have to get to embroiled in the technical details of the product, (but there should be a section for this) as relying too heavily on jargon can be incredibly off-putting.
It simply means you need to explain your products in a way that your specific target audience understands and appreciates.

Don’t Underestimate the Value of Free Merchandise
People tend to love free stuff, so why not use this as an opportunity to get your brand, and therefore your product, well and truly noticed?
Sending out free merch to your customers can help you cement your brand’s presence in their mind’s eye.
This is also a good way to get influencers to do some of the marketing work for you. Although it may seem an expensive pursuit in the short term, the long-term benefits can be astronomical.

Be a Representative
If you have a product your proud of, it is worth turning that passion into a sales pitch. It is your idea after all, so why be a representative and make yourself the human face of the company?
