E-commerce businesses put constant efforts into marketing and branding strategies. Be it their brandstore, or social media channels, you will find aesthetically pleasing visuals with short-crisp content.
Now, visit your favorite brand’s website and check their blog segment. You will hardly find any blog. This is one of the biggest mistakes businesses commit. What they don’t understand is, to communicate their offerings with the users, social media and brandstore are not enough, especially if you are a B2C business.
Blogging not only helps your customers understand your brand better but also increases your inbound traffic.
Marketers focus on quantity than quality when it comes to writing blogs. The trick might stand true for social media, but for blogs, create content to entertain, educate and empower your audience. If your write-up is not adding value to your reader’s lifestyle, it’s of no use. To make it winsome, study the needs of your audience first, then make the content accordingly.
Quick tip: Data and stats add a context and support your statement. Try to use numbers as often as possible. For example, you are a business dealing in alcohol-free fragrances. To sell your offerings, tell people about the disadvantages of alcoholic perfumes in numbers, supporting your statement. Additionally, you can also mention the benefits of using alcohol-free fragrances while featuring your product portfolio.
Focusing on quality doesn’t mean you will be inconsistent and post once every six months. Consistency is a must to attain traffic. Post at least twice every week to notify your customers. Keeping your posting schedule consistent makes it easier for the readers to expect new content from you. If you can’t manage, you can even hire people on a freelance basis. Seeking help from a professional would only strengthen your content marketing strategy. Be consistent, you will see the results automatically.
For all SEO professionals, this is one of the best techniques to increase your website’s ranking organically. Curate content for the blog while linking your offerings. For example, you are writing a blog on “10 bootcut jeans you can’t afford to ignore in 2021.” Here, you can add your brand’s products to the blog with a ‘BUY NOW’ button. Also, remember not to add too many links as this can create clutter in the minds of the users.

Adding a meta description in your blog is similar to adding ad copy in your google ads. Without a meta description, it’s impossible for the blog to rank. Moreover, it’s one of the first things people read when your blog comes in the search results. Many e-commerce websites, either don’t use meta description or use the same content for all the blogs. If you want people to read your blogs, you need to create fresh meta descriptions for each blog.
Images act as proof of your written content. If they are pixelated and don’t resonate with your text, they are of no use. To optimize your images for the blogs, it’s important to use high-quality images. But, don’t forget to compress so that they don’t take time to load. Secondly, use the ALT tag in your image code. It helps your images to appear in the google image search.

Times have changed and so have people. There’s no room for fancy content with persuasive promotions. People read blogs to either gain knowledge or get entertained. They don’t want to read your sales pitch in the shape of a blog. Understand your audiences’ needs first and then make your content accordingly. In short, don’t surround your blog with the offerings, rather give people the solutions for their problems. Once they start trusting you, they’ll definitely buy from you.
Your blog’s ranking is directly dependent on its URL. If you use complicated URLs with too many conjunctions and articles, your sites’ ranking will immediately dip as it’s hard for search engines to read. Try to use simple plain English. Also, don’t forget to include the primary and secondary keywords in the URL.
