Overview:

B2B digital commerce is tricky. Trickier than most of the business niches out there. But with better buyer segmentation, SEO strategies and a solid content development process, things get interesting. 

 

But how can a business write content for millions of products lying in its stockpile?

 

This case study reveals how Contiom helped a B2B office supply e-commerce company generate 1 million product descriptions and translated it into four languages. And they did it all in just 3 months of time!

Story Background

  1. Our client has a global B2B business that sells office supplies to corporations. They were gradually spreading their business online. 
  2. 87% consumers consider product descriptions important before making a purchase online. So, their marketing team emphasized on writing descriptions for each product in their stockpile.
  3. The brand had major SEO goals and they wanted to attract corporate companies and resellers via organic traffic.
  4. Since they have business in foreign lands too, they needed content translated in three other languages.

 

Challenges that the brand was facing

 

  • The products were heavy on information. Putting such technical details correctly in the content was a huge struggle.
  • Managing product data and content on Excel sheets was also a nightmare.
  • Writing unique product descriptions for millions of products was exhaustive and looked unscalable.
  • Content turnaround time was too slow and hiring more writers was going way out of budget.
  • The brand was going global to attract customers from different cultures. Thus, translating and diversifying each content was an additional headache

Conclusion

Be it office supplies or any other B2B business, digital transition is always unnerving.

 

Listing huge stockpiles, getting your messaging right with accurate data, and a struggle to always be visible in front of your target customers online. Expanding teams and panic-hiring more writers costs a fortune and the quick results are nonetheless not guaranteed.

  • maximize your online visibility, 
  • make meaningful relationships with buyers, and 
  • get a competitive edge— on time and without going over budget.
