Creating Compelling Amazon Product Descriptions for Increased Conversions

As one of the largest online marketplaces in the world, Amazon is constantly updating its platform to improve the shopping experience for customers and sellers alike. One of the latest updates is the change to its HTML and product description guidelines for the US market on July 17, 2021, and for the UK market on June 8, 2021.

The update is designed to provide better security for customers and greater versatility in listing products on non-HTML devices. This means that Amazon will no longer support the use of HTML tags in product descriptions on detail pages. This change is significant as it affects all sellers equally, regardless of their size or experience on the platform.

After the update, using HTML tags in product descriptions may result in suppression or removal of that line from search results. This can have a significant impact on a seller’s visibility and sales on the platform. Therefore, it’s important for sellers to update their product descriptions to comply with the new guidelines and avoid the use of HTML tags.

Sellers should ensure that their product descriptions are accurate, informative, and provide customers with all the necessary information about the product. This includes details such as product dimensions, materials, and features. By providing clear and concise product descriptions, sellers can improve their chances of making a sale and building a positive reputation on the platform.

It’s also important for sellers to abide by Amazon’s rules and guidelines to avoid negative consequences. This includes complying with the new HTML and product description guidelines and ensuring that their listings are accurate and up-to-date. Failure to comply with Amazon’s rules can result in penalties, such as account suspension or removal from the platform.

In conclusion, the recent update to Amazon’s HTML and product description guidelines is an important change for all sellers. By complying with the new guidelines and providing accurate and informative product descriptions, sellers can improve their visibility and sales on the platform. It’s crucial to stay up-to-date with Amazon’s policies and guidelines to ensure continued success on the platform.
