Good product information
Good product information is crucial to success on otto.de, as it has a positive impact on search results and product ranking, i.e. on the findability of your products in the shop. It also makes a better impression on customers. By paying close attention to product details such as size, dimensions, description and material, you enable customers to answer possible questions about the product for themselves. Our analytics show that items with good product information get returned less frequently.
Good product images
Good photos of products that show the colour, pattern and any noteworthy properties are very useful. They allow customers to feel confident in the product from the very first glance. In order to avoid returns and dissatisfied customers, images showing your products should always be realistic.
