πŸ“Έ People buy what they can see.
❌ Mistake: Low-quality or blurry photos + vague product descriptions confuse customers β†’ No sales.
βœ”οΈ Fix:

  • Write clear product descriptions: Material, Size, How to use, Price, Special offers
     Good visuals and helpful text instantly boost credibility.

 
βœ… 3. Ignoring Customer Reviews & Social Proof

🌟 Customer reviews build trust instantly.
❌ Mistake: No reviews or not displaying them makes customers hesitate.

βœ… 5. No Clear Call to Action (CTA)
