Episode 146: Create Product Pages That Sell
This podcast is brought to you by ColDesi
In Episode 146 of the CAS Podcast, Marc Vila dives into one of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of eCommerce success—your product pages. Whether you’re running ads, relying on organic search, or building a custom product catalog, your product page isn’t just an online listing—it’s your digital salesperson.
If your page isn’t convincing people to click, call, or buy, then it’s costing you real money. This episode provides a clear, actionable framework to help you build product pages that actually convert.
Why Product Pages Matter
If your business depends on eCommerce or lead generation through your website, your product pages are the last click before the sale. A great product page:
● Builds trust
● Answers questions
● Reduces hesitation
● Makes it easy for customers to take action
A weak product page? It confuses, distracts, or fails to reassure—and your potential customer clicks away.
The 10+1 Keys to a High-Converting Product Page
1. 🎯 Know Your Goal
Decide what you want the visitor to do:
● Buy the product
● Call for a quote
● Fill out a form
● Start a chat
Every part of the page should lead to this goal.
2. 🏷 Tell Them What It Is
Put the product name big and bold at the top. Then follow it with a quick sentence or two that explains what it is, who it’s for, and why it’s useful—at a glance.
3. 📢 Ask Them to Take Action
Include a strong, clear call to action:
● “Buy Now”
● “Customize This”
● “Call for Pricing”
● “Live Chat With Us”
Don’t make users guess what to do next.
4. 📄 Offer More Info for the Detail-Oriented
After the summary, provide more detail for people who scroll:
● Full description
● Bullet-point features
● Product specs
● Videos, demos, or installation guides
Some buyers want to “skim and go,” while others will read everything—your page should serve both.
5. ❓ Address Customer Concerns
Think about what hesitations your customers have and tackle them head-on:
● “Won’t shrink or fade”
● “Free returns within 30 days”
● “In-stock and ships fast”
● “Perfect for events, teams, or gifts”
If you’ve done customer surveys or handled frequent objections, include those answers right on the page.
6. 💬 Add Live Chat
Live chat boosts conversions—especially during business hours. Many tools are free or low-cost, and there are mobile apps to manage conversations on the go.
7. ☎️ Let Them Call You
Yes, people still use the phone. Make sure your phone number is:
● Easy to find
● Clickable on mobile
● Connected to a real person or voicemail
8. 📸 Use GOOD Photos, Videos, or GIFs
● Avoid fuzzy or distorted images
● Use lifestyle shots and product close-ups
● Show different angles or customization options
● Film short videos showing the product in use
You have a powerful camera in your pocket—use it!
9. 🌟 Add Testimonials and Social Proof
● Reviews from customers
● Quotes from happy buyers
● Photos from real orders
● Screenshots of positive social media comments
People trust people. Let your satisfied customers do some of the selling for you.
10. 🏆 Brag (Just a Little)
If your product was purchased by:
● A local school or church
● A championship team
● A big-name brand
● A popular influencer
…let the world know. It builds credibility and trust.
🔁 BONUS: Review, Test, Repeat
Product pages aren’t a “set it and forget it” part of your site. Regularly:
● Revisit copy, layout, and media
● A/B test call-to-actions or headlines
● Update testimonials and pricing
● Improve page load speed and mobile friendliness
Final Takeaway: Treat Your Product Page Like a Salesperson
Your website is open 24/7—and your product pages are often the only salesperson a potential customer sees. Make sure they:
● Speak clearly
● Answer questions
● Build confidence
● Drive action
If you apply even half of the strategies from this episode, you’ll likely see an increase in conversions, happier customers, and better returns from your marketing efforts.
