The speakers of the event shared with the guests life hacks on how to promote their product on their sites, what needs to be done so that customers not only see it, but also purchase and return again.
Varvara Kononova, Director of Development at WOWPacks, believes that consumer interest is primarily directed at recognizable brands. "Even if your product is "no name", then make sure that it is remembered. The first thing a customer encounters is packaging. She should make a pleasant impression. If a person receives clothes in a torn bag, he will return it back by choosing the same product from another seller, but in a gift box," the expert gave recommendations.
Elizaveta Artemyeva, category manager at Yandex.Market, drew attention to the product cards: "When forming the content of your product offer, it must be borne in mind that most users access our site through an application on their phone. Photos and product descriptions should be visible."
Sofya Boikova, Head of Affiliate Marketing in the DIY Megamarket Home Goods category, shared the advantages of the Sberbank of Russia trading platform: "Visibility in the top positions of the search bar is the key to success. 80% of users search for products through it. And only 70% of those who want to purchase a certain product view offers below line 7-8," Boikova cited statistics from the marketplace. She recommends using cashback as a measure to attract customers.
Olga Dvoina, head of the Textiles category at Ozon, gave recommendations on how to promote products on this largest site.
