Enhanced Brand Content, ürün açıklamanızın altındaki modül tabanlı bölümdür. Hakkıyla yazıldığında insanların satın almasını engelleyen belirli itirazları yanıtlar. Süs olarak yazıldığında ise pahalı bir boşluktur.
İtirazı yanıtlamak için yazılır
Malzeme kreatif bir brief’ten değil kanıttan gelir. Kendi yorumlarınızı ve rakip yorumlarını, insanların gerçekte neyde tereddüt ettiğini bulmak için tararız: beden, uyumluluk, dayanıklılık, kutuda ne olduğu, kendi durumlarına uyup uymadığı.
Bu itirazlar modül içeriğine dönüşür. Kimsenin sormadığı bir soruyu yanıtlayan bölüm, herkesin sorduğunu yanıtlayabilecek olan alandır.
Planlanması gereken kısıt
Mobil. Amazon trafiğinin çoğu telefondan gelir; orada modüller alt alta dizilir ve uzun metin, kimsenin kaydırdığı noktanın altında kaybolur. Masaüstü tasarım dosyasında iyi okunan bir düzen, pratikte işlevsel olarak görünmez olabilir.
Bu yüzden düzenler gönderimden önce telefonda incelenir ve en önemli itiraz dördüncü modülde değil ilkinde yanıtlanır.
Karşılaştırma modülleri, bilinçli kullanılır
Karşılaştırma modülü, seçenekleri tartan bir alışverişçiyi arama sonuçlarına geri göndermek yerine kendi ürün gamınızın içinde tutar. İyi kullanıldığında bir gezinme oturumunu doğru varyantın bilinçli satın alımına çevirir. Dikkatsiz kullanıldığında ise zaten baktıkları ürün hakkında şüphe yaratır.
Süs değil, dizine giren içerik
Bu modüllerin içindeki metin Amazon içinde aranabilir. Bu bilinerek, alıcıların gerçekten aradığı terimlerle yazılır; içinde kelime bulunan bir tasarım ögesi gibi ele alınmaz.
Ret yazım aşamasında önlenir
Amazon’un iddia, garanti, fiyat ve iletişim bilgisi politikası metin yazılırken uygulanır. Retlerin hiçbir şeye mal olmadığı yer orasıdır. Bunu tasarım ve gönderimden sonra keşfetmek bir prodüksiyon turuna mal olur ve listelemeyi geciktirir.
Varsayılmaz, ölçülür
Dönüşüm oranı, benzer trafik koşullarında öncesi ve sonrasıyla karşılaştırılır; hacim izin verdiğinde Manage Your Experiments kullanılır, böylece değişiklik inanılmaz, kanıtlanır. Odadaki herkesin tercih ettiği versiyon kanıt değildir.
