The importance of product information in the online stores
In the online store, the product image is perhaps the most important product identifier and description for the consumer. Studies show that consumers even avoid products for which an image is not available. The EU Consumer Information Regulation 1169/2011 also obliges consumers to be provided with consistent information regardless of whether the consumer buys the product from a store or online. From Synkka, product images are passed on to retailers, wholesalers and Food service operators, as well as other receivers of product information. In addition to product images, other digital materials, such as safety data sheets, can also be transmitted.
