A comparison is a usual process people carry out while purchasing goods. They want to consider all the parameters to make the best choice. It can be:
- Price
- Features
- Shipping conditions, etc.
Frankly speaking, the more expensive the product is, the more time customers spend in order to learn more information about it. One of the great examples of Comparison Table is on Amazon. Why? Here are some important factors:
- It has a product picture
- There are specific characteristics like screen, processor, memory, so on
- It has a rating from users, price
- There is a CTA (call to action) button.
