main goals:

– make sure people have all of the info they need to make a decisions – people know price

people get to product detail pages in a number of ways. From the home page, from a category list page, from a related product page, from google text or MPN text ad, Google Shopping ad, link from Amazon, Facebook, email to name a few. Because of this the site page must inform the user about the sites, have i or a friend shopped here before, is it trust worthy, is this the product i want, is the price right, when is it delivered, can i make a deceptions based on the info here, what if i have a problem, a return, do they have other products i may want? what do other say about this,

2. clear call to action

Once a person has decided if product is right for them we want to make it as easy as possible to take the next step.

3. Info to make a decision on the product

This can be anything from price, images, specs, deliverability, reviews or anything else to help you know if this item is right for you. Will this fit, is it good quality, is it exactly what i am looking for.

6. related or other products people may be interested in.

this is great fro product discovery. People may not see the exact product they want but displaying other options, prices or styles of a similar product or set of products is great for the user. This is especially useful if the person entered the site from a PLA

7. reviews

reviews are a great place to get honest feedback and social proof. If it is popular it is a great mental shortcut that it is worth getting or at least we will not be the only sucker.

8. social cues

just like reviews, social cues such as top seller, or a recommendation from a friend or trusted source can help us make a decision.
