- Category and subcategory text. Tell a story about why shoppers need the product. For example, if you sell candles, explain the benefits of decorating with candles. If you sell shoes, list latest shoe trends and style advice. If you own a fitness studio, provide details of the classes and how they help attendees.
- About Us page. Business owners frequently make the mistake of offering tons of facts about themselves and their work journeys. However, all that shoppers care about is what you can do for them and how your product can improve their lives. On your About Us page, focus on the benefits to your shoppers.

- Shipping and return policy. Be crystal clear and easy to understand from the start.
