Over the recent years, Walmart.com continues to grow in popularity – both as a shopping destination where customers can find a wide assortment of quality products, and a happening platform for Marketplace sellers where they can expand their presence online and sell with confidence. Joining Walmart Marketplace is a first step in growing your business, next – you should start thinking about growth strategies and ways to make your listings stand out. And as unique as each sales channel can be, so should be your approach to listing and selling products. With data-driven technology like eZoptimizer, you can differentiate your optimization strategy and make listing improvements that matter for your catalog performance on Walmart.com.
If you’re familiar with effective sales techniques, you’ll instantly realize that most eCommerce product pages are lacking something. Typically, a face-to-face sales engagement starts with a description of the product (specifications), as well as some evidence of its worth. Once a customer starts seeing product benefits, a skilled sales representative will then change gears to interrogate the prospect and handle possible objections with the goal to close the deal. In the eCommerce world, your product pages will need to be optimized to masterfully do the same job – attract the customer, answer all the possible questions about the product and be convincing to result in a sale. Sounds easy, but you will need to do some work upfront to understand your possible customers on the platform and optimize your listings accordingly. This will make your products highly visible and searchable to position your business ahead of the competition and help you maximize your sales.
Keyword-rich content aimed at attracting, engaging, and converting visitors is likely to yield a large return on investment long-term. eZdia ran a controlled organic content test on a well-established eCommerce site. During the test around 300 pages were revised with better images and product descriptions and the incremental return on content expenditure (ROCS) was calculated. The results were astounding: for every dollar spent on content optimization, the client is on track to produce an additional $60 in revenue from organic search.
