Building Trust With Shoppers
Why Brand Story Matters on DTC Websites
“Before I go to the products, I’d probably browse through who they are first…in recent years, I care more about who they are than what they’re selling.”
Most people don’t really care about the brand when shopping on big sites like Target or Amazon, they just focus on things like product availability, price, shipping, and returns.
But when it comes to independent DTC sites, around 62% of shoppers actually look into stuff like the “About Us,” “Our Story,” or “Our Process” pages.
Getting to know your brand is pretty important to them before they decide to buy something from you.
On your store, be sure you have those kinds of pages to help customers connect with your brand.
It will definitely make a difference in their decision to buy from you.
Where to Include It
