The name should be sonorous, enticing, but do not overdo it with creativity, yet a person must understand what product or service they are offered.
The description should be made informative, but not boring, the abundance of numbers and characteristics can inspire a lot of sleep, while not without them. Color, weight, composition, and so on, all the characteristics of what you sell should be described in detail, but this information should be diluted with what emotions and benefits your client will receive if the transaction takes place. Again, creative ads are valuable, but not to the detriment of information about the product itself.
Photos are the face of your product on the Internet, the user cannot touch or smell, hold in his hands, look closer, he sees only photos. They should be made in natural light, not shaded and not overexposed, the details should be read. The number must always be laid out to the maximum, the view from all sides and the individual parts of the product.
