My last impulse purchase was something I said I\u2019d never<\/u> <\/strong>get.<\/p>\n

(And yes, this is relevant to ecommerce content writing, so don\u2019t skip this part.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n

My dog had just come inside from playing in the backyard and with her, she brought a smattering of pine needles, grass clippings, and bits of dead leaves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Like clockwork, I lugged out our vacuum hose<\/strong>. It was the fourth time that day, and I knew it wouldn\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n

In the back of my mind, I thought about that thing I said I\u2019d never buy\u2026<\/p>\n

I was sooo<\/em> tempted\u2014it was only a quick Google search away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s it,\u201d I mumbled to myself, \u201cI\u2019ve had enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

I opened my laptop and typed two words into the search bar: robot vacuum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were plenty to choose from\u2014they all looked the same, they were all within the same price point, and they all (mostly) did the same thing.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: I have no kids. I have a small home. I\u2019m physically able to vacuum. I never thought I was the candidate for robot-anything.<\/p>\n

Yet, fifteen minutes later, I had punched in my credit and was awaiting my spiffy new vacuum.<\/p>\n

So, why did I end up dropping hundreds of dollars on something I initially said I was never going to buy?<\/p>\n

And more importantly, how did I narrow down the one I wanted so fast?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple.<\/p>\n

Bits of ecommerce content\u2014like landing pages and product descriptions\u2014persuaded me that one robot vacuum was my match made in heaven.<\/p>\n

And with a little bit of strategy, you too can write ecommerce content that makes prospective buyers say \u201cshut up and take my money.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Why do ecommerce businesses need content?<\/h2>\n

Simply put, content marketing is an effective way to drive sales and leads.<\/p>\n

Especially when you\u2019re in a competitive niche.<\/p>\n

Think back to my robot vacuum purchase.<\/p>\n

Almost all vacuums were the same. But the one I purchased did a better job of selling itself to me.<\/p>\n

In ecommerce, you don\u2019t have the luxury of schmoozing your prospective buyers\u2014your content has to wine and dine for you.<\/p>\n

How to write ecommerce content<\/h2>\n

Although writing great content<\/a> is a science, these these six steps will help you beef up your ecommerce content writing.<\/p>\n

1. Nail down your unique selling proposition (USP)<\/h3>\n

A unique selling proposition\u2014also known as a unique selling point\u2014is what makes your product different (and much <\/em>better) than your competitors.<\/p>\n

An example of a USP<\/a> is Death Wish Coffee<\/a> which claims to be the world\u2019s strongest coffee.<\/p>\n

Identifying your USP makes it easier to stand out among your competitors.<\/p>\n

2. Collect voice-of-customer (VOC)<\/h3>\n

VOC is the words and phrases your customers use to describe their pain points and desires. For example, if you sell candles, your customers may say things like:<\/p>\n
