Who needs to know the volume of a bag?

Why would your client be interested in the volume of a bag? Unless it’s a bulk bag to transport raw material, there seems no need for the owner of a backpack or fashion bag to know the volume of a bag. But there is a good reason for your clients interested in your travel bag or backpack to ask for the volume.
The reason is, when bought online one can see all the various shapes and sizes, but it is impossible to have an idea about how big or small the bag is in real life! To mention the volume of a bag, perhaps supported with some objects will help your client to understand more better the size.
When you mention the volume of the bag you help your potential client to visualize the bag, to imagine she or he is already carrying the bag, and this helps for a positive purchase decision.

How your client can calculate the actual dimensions

How would your client measure the volume of a bag when they are in your walk-in store? They will measure the exterior dimensions of the bag by using a tape measure or a ruler. And what about the interior compartments?
They need this information about the volume of a bag to figure out what can fit inside of the bag with ease and what will be too large.
But how can your client do all these calculations online?
Another method for your client could be to fill the backpack or travel bag with small balls to measure the volume. Volume is the length times the width and depth of a travel bag or a specific compartment. To help your potential client to compare the volume of travel bags from various suppliers, you can calculate all measurements back to liters.
One can think why would you make it easy to compare the volume of your bag with the bags of the competition. Think about the list with selection criteria your client has about the ideal bag. This lost does contain the price range, the color, the brand and many other criteria of preference. These preferences are all individually made choices and when information is lacking to decide, your potential client might skip your brand of bags from their list. It is a smart thing to help your clients to get all the information they need. Also, when they want to measure the volume of the bag.

Reduce unwanted returns of bags

The information about the bag, like volume, might not only keep your brand on the short list of your client. It will also reduce the expense of unwanted returns. Imagine what happens when you fail to inform your client well about the specifications of the bag and the client orders the bag, initially you will be happy because the order has been placed, and perhaps the client also has transferred the purchase price.
But what after receiving the bag your client feels the volume of the bag is below expectations, or too large? This will result in an unwanted return. More expenses next to the loss of a potential client for the future, because next time she or he will not purchase from you when there is doubt. And you will also have to forget the opportunity she will share a positive recommendation about your brand to her friends.

What bag volume does the competition offer?

When your client is in the stage to compare the various bags from the different brands, he or she will visit multiple websites or stores. Every time they land on another website, you run the risk they will find the bag of their dreams. Not your bag, but the bag of the competition. You can reduce this risk, by offering the information of the competition on your site. No need to mention the brand names of the competition, but you can refer to industry standards about the volume of a bag for example.
For example, add a table with the functionality or purpose of a travel bag and the average size in the industry.
