Step 1: Decide On A Good Layout Template
Your e-commerce store needs a distinctive look and feel that should carry on throughout the store – the Why Buy From Us Page should be no exception. If you already have a basic template or theme for your store, you should use it in your Why Buy From Us page.
Make sure the colors and fonts you decide to use for the page are clear and readable. You want people to be able to get answers to questions from your Why Buy From Us page so you need the information on the page to be clear.
Also, make sure that any and all links, graphics and videos you use should work and load quickly. You want people to find out what they need from your Why Buy From Us page, not leave in frustration.
Step 2: Make A List Of Reasons Why They Should Buy From You
Enumerate in a few words or a sentence, the reasons why buying from your on-line store is an experience they will not regret. With a glance at this list, the customer should be able to tell why the shopping experience with you is superior to others.
One of the biggest draws of the on-line shopping experience is the convenience factor of being able to get something you need without leaving your home. However, one of the biggest misgivings people have about buying on line is, they might NOT get what they need.
The Why Buy From Us page is where you convince them that you will be able to deliver what they need quickly and conveniently.
If you provide quality control, shipping guarantees, shipping tracking, easy return and exchange programs, or money back guarantees – any program or policy to assure them that they will receive their order – list them down here.

Step 3: Explain And Back Up Your Reason To Buy List
Some people will need more than a list to be convinced. While you should start out with short yet descriptive reasons to buy from you in your list, you should be able to elaborate or defend these reasons further down your page.
Above all, try and make sure that you deliver the information in a way that is friendly and engaging. Your page might start with a list, but there’s no reason it should stay a list. Use videos, graphics, images and photo have to keep viewers attention. A dull, boring, badly written list of reasons is not what you’re about page should be.
