Use caption that sell the product. Tell the visitors that the product is great for them. It caption should be concise and on point. The product features could be highlighted in bullets. The title should be catchy and in standard font. Ensure you show benefits of the products to the visitors.

Where the site allows, try making a video of the products you are selling. The video, should be short, funny and informative. Videos increase engagement with the site visitors and are likely to convert a site visitors to customers easier than pictures and captions.
