4'

A well-maintained and always up-to-date online product catalogue is the backbone of any successful e-commerce strategy! Providing customers with quality and rich product content is crucial, as evidenced by the fact that 81% of buyers have reported abandoning a purchase due to insufficient product information. According to another study conducted in 2022 by inriver, 53% of consumers surveyed stated that encountering incorrect or poor quality product information online motivates them to shop elsewhere, while 47% find it frustrating. That’s alarming!

In this article, we will see how you can be sure to always have updated product descriptions and how you can optimise your product catalogue to improve your SEO and performance. This will help increase your conversion rate, and lower your returns – trust us!

Online product catalogue: the heart of every e-commerce business

With so many online shopping options available, customers expect to find detailed information about the products they’re considering purchasing.

If your online product catalogue is lacking, unclear, or incomplete, customers may become frustrated and abandon their purchase, causing you to lose potential sales and revenue (as seen in the studies mentioned above). On the other hand, if you provide detailed and accurate product descriptions, customers will be more likely to trust your brand and make a purchase.

To ensure you’re providing quality product content, investing in product descriptions, images, videos, and reviews is essential. You should also make sure that your product information is easily accessible and up-to-date across all channels, including your e-commerce website, marketplaces as well as marketing channels (social media, acquisition channels, etc.).
