Standing Apart from Other Ecommerce Service Providers
She also believes it is the unique approach of taking on a client and considering the business its own while simultaneously taking into consideration the perspective of the customers is what sets her company apart from its competitors in the market. Once Polestarre is approached by the client, a team of dedicated professionals conduct a thorough research on the product and the various benefits it has to offer. Steering clear of the cookie cutter approach implemented by a multitude of service providers of just stating unproved statements or false claims made by the product, the team conducts a complete research on the product and gives a new outlook to the item by concentrating on the benefits it has to offer, thus securing the client from increased product returns.

Catapulting Businesses to the Top
A+ Listing, Cataloging Management Catalog Enhancement, End-to-end Cataloging, Product Photo shoots, Image Editing and Account Management are the broad-range of services that the company has to offer. The services extended assist the clients to simplify, strengthen and transform their product knowledge and convey the features and specifications of the product in a much more improved manner.

Delving deeper into the services the company has to offer Vishakha begins with explaining how A+ Content is an Amazon Tool that permits one to enhance the product explanation with explanatory content, images, FAQ’s, comparison charts, HD videos and the likes. This listing, once prepared, allows the seller to showcase the brand and help its target audience gain a better understanding of the value of the products displayed and help these consumers make a better informed purchase and be satisfied with the final decision. So when a client approaches Polestarre for this service, the team commences the process with gaining a complete understanding of the seller’s requirements and reviewing it with the guidelines. This is followed by tenured content writers carefully examining and listing out detailed information on the product such as its USP, salient features and all the beneficial data of the product as per the guidelines. Once the content is finalised on, the content is passed on to the team of creative graphic designers that work closely with the writers to transform the written content methodically prepared by the writers into descriptive pictures of the product. The completed data and the images then undergo a series of quality checks for proofreading and image quality evaluation. This is followed by sending the amalgamated data to the client for evaluation and feedback.

Team Polestarre
Perfectly aware that the management of an ecommerce catalog can prove to be an arduous task with a myriad of SKUs to publish across multiple sales channels leading to displaying sub parproduct information, the company proffers its catalog enhancement services to address this issue. Vishakha elucidates how many clients encounter the challenge of a product catalog not complying with the current standards or how sometimes a catalog is compiled by a gamut of sources with fluctuating practices that ultimately lead to mediocre material being published and how Polestarre steps in to enhance the existing catalog as per the guidelines and SOPs of various sales channels thus ensuring that it is in compliance with the current standards. “We do end-to-end content and cataloging management. Like when a raw product comes to us, we have a set of photographers who conduct a photo shoot. Then the image editors would come into play and we strictly follow the requirements of that particular portal. Then the team does the complete cataloging of the product. Once the client approves and the product uploads are done the product is live,”says Vishakha.
