We won’t mention about “what is data sheet?” or “ how to read a data sheet” because we all know it. Here is tips how you can increase sales conversion with product data sheets.
Remember the scope of the product data sheets: getting the attention of visitors to contact you.
Before starting, the main purpose of data sheets must be highlighted: the goal is to convince visitors that they should contact you to purchase your product or buy it online. Your product data sheet should show key the points of the product and provide all the crucial information for the customers. Visitors who found what they looked for in data sheet and decided to get more info or purchase it, will reach out to you. So your sales will be increased with conversion rate. Here are some tips to collect lead info and increase conversion rate.
Tip 1: Embed product main info to product page
Don’t forget that visitor had reviewed your competitors’ product before landing on your website. They compare your product with others, so you mustn’t get off on a sidetrack with unnecessary info. So, keep product data in brief and give more information on your product data sheet. You can enrich product information page with visuals like product image, technical drawings, graphics. The visual is also important for SEO optimization of your page, but also to capture the interest of visitors. Ultimately, visitors look the visual firstly. In particular, visual gains importance for the e-commerce website.
Don’t allow the visitor to get lost in long paragraphs. It causes to miss the key points and to lose concentration. The main product characteristics can be shown as “bullet list” — it features the important info briefly. You must avoid any duplicate content such as copied and pasted text from other product pages. Common terms on your sector are helpful to express specific features and characteristic of the product but on the other hand, customization of common expresses and idioms makes a difference on the product page.
After you direct them to find more info, then your professional product data sheet will make an entrance. While sharing this information, keep in your mind that following a path- general to detail- will help to pick up the attention of readers. Your data sheets must give technical information and be using info and put some topics to the forefront like features, general descriptions, and applications. Present them on the first page if possible. For instance, reading an electronic component, semiconductor data sheet is harder due to more technical details with a lot of pages. So, my recommendation to data sheet writers is to walk in a path of content and consider the readers’ profile. The first page includes usually a summary of the product definition and features. This page will often give the reader a good first impression to read details on other pages. Technical readers care about product characteristics like storage conditions or schematic diagram, but on the other hand, the purchaser will be looked for different parts such as ordering information, shipping conditions or guarantee limits. This case differs industry to industry but the common success point for all industries is to make product data sheet clear and brief.
Next step is to follow visitors and contact them.
