Product catalogue

Include an appropriately sized thumbnail of your product that when clicked enlarges to a large high pixel photo.
Eye catching features
Keeping within the rules against clutter, having an attractive and tidy slideshow that does not look tacky but elegant can increase sales. Having images sliding by of randomized products in your catalogue will draw interest to a product that the shopper otherwise didn’t know was available. This will also work in a basket showing a slideshow of items frequently bought with the product selected.
Testimonials and reviews
Integrate and disperse testimonials throughout the website including on the homepage. If someone is not specifically seeking out user reviews then they will catch a glimpse of your positive feedback reinforcing trust. This could be the small deciding factor that tips the scales favorably if weighing a decision to buy or not. More importantly is individual product reviews on the product page. This creates comfort for shoppers seeing that you can be trusted by having the option for a customer to review the item and they’ll be more likely to purchase.
