Copywriting for online stores

Website copywriting turns what you know about your business into clear pages that answer customer questions and lead to the next step. For online stores, that means getting product and category pages, shipping and returns and checkout speed right, because shoppers ready to buy want to buy without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Shoppers ready to buy want to buy.

A online store website usually has to handle a fast, trustworthy checkout, product pages that answer buying questions, email capture for repeat sales, product reviews and gift cards.

A fast, trustworthy checkout: every extra step at checkout loses some buyers.

Product pages that answer buying questions: size, fit, materials and delivery times decide the sale.

Email capture for repeat sales: repeat customers cost less to reach than new ones.

Product reviews: shoppers look for reviews from other buyers before paying.

Gift cards: gift cards add sales in gift seasons.

What to have ready

Notes, brochures or emails where you already explain your services well.
