This is boring!
What is a customer to think about a company that publishes a product page like this?
That they don’t really care enough about the customer to produce good content!
They Say Content Takes Too Much Work And Too Much Money!
Content Is A Commitment
Would you say this company is committed to informing, educating, or even selling the product?
NO!

Poor Content Turns A Retailer Into A Commodity Retailer
If you are not selling the product, what are you selling?
Why should a customer buy from you?
