CSS

Select the code component with the same number of columns as in the grid system of your post.

Replace style id `stk-theme_00000` with yours before adding it to your Style Manager. For more info, please go to the Introduction page.

You can also adjust background shape and color in the component CSS.

Content Experience Impact

Including dynamic links about products mentioned in your content marketing reduces the number of steps between someone being interested in your products and actually purchasing them. These can include product imagery, the price, a small description, and a button to learn more or buy now. This not only ups engagement by creating a visual element instead of plain old text links, but also increases the likelihood of conversion by providing a streamlined experience.

Dos

• Include products most related to the content at hand. If you mention specific products in your blog post, including those in a related products component is an easy option. If not, think of the products most useful to someone who might be reading this post.

• Build your relevant product components using an API tied directly to your store database, so that any product details that change automatically update across content pieces. This prevents information in your content from being outdated quickly.

Don'ts

Don’t feel like you have to include relevant products components in all of your ecommerce blogs. Some posts may be more about thought leadership and building trust with your readers than driving towards purchasing specific products, and it’s better to leave the products out of those to avoid seeming too salesy.
