Key factors that affect purchase decisions on Amazon

Did you know that “product details” are the key factor influencing purchase decisions on Amazon (Amazon Customer Experience Study)?

SSBUK_Post20130315_listing quality

In fact, all successful retailers know that if their offers are well presented and easy to find, customers are much more likely to buy them and, more importantly, come back again. Good presentation really does boost sales.  

With the huge array of offers on display on Amazon.co.uk, it is critical that your product listings maintain the excellent standard of detail and discoverability that our customers expect. Therefore, we recommend you to check the Listing Style Guidelines Amazon put at your disposal in order to ensure that your products are discoverable, attractive, accurate and, most importantly, sellable.

These guides are easy-to follow manuals, with clear examples of "do’s and don’ts" and provide information on everything you need to create a great product listing, for both content and discoverability, including product title, images, bullet points, product descriptions, brand and manufacturer, model & part number, what's in the box, search terms, browse and refinements.
There is also information specific to your method of data upload – whether via the Add a Product tool in Seller Central or via inventory file templates.

For more information about creating high quality listings, search for “listing quality” in the Seller Central search bar.
