Product Descriptions 101

A good product description starts with your research.

This includes:

  • Reading reviews (yours and competitors)

  • Noticing the words your customers use online

  • Using your experience to find what buyers care about

Next is the design phase. How should your description look?

Start by studying similar businesses.

  • Where are their product descriptions placed?

  • What photos/visuals are they using?

  • What font and sentence structure do they use?

This will give you a good idea on how to format it.

#1 Write, Simplify, and Improve

Product descriptions work like creative writing.

Write a terrible first draft. Get feedback. Cut a lot of it out.

So, write out your draft and get feedback on it using ChatGPT. Revise it and make it better.

Here’s my process:

  1. Write down the main features/benefits

  2. Write the common objections

  3. Make your writing concrete

  4. Cut and shorten your writing

  5. Revise using ChatGPT

  6. Review one more time

“A great sentence is a good sentence made shorter” — Harry Dry

Subtraction is key when writing. Keep only the most essential parts and use the DELETE key more than the space key.

#2 Make Your Product Concrete

Concrete language helps us see and feel products.

Use:

  • Vivid verbs

  • Places and people

  • Specific numbers

And concrete isn’t just important for writing, it’s important visually.

The more your customer can feel your product, the clearer the benefits are to them.

Curated Example: Indestructible Shoes

Indestructible Shoes sell indestructible shoes (a fitting name in my opinion).

They include clear visuals of the shoe on nails and getting hit by a hammer. They also have benefit driven headlines of “puncture resistant” and “breathable flymesh”.

This works twice as well as just text because it shows their shoes in action.

#3 Target Your Customer’s Objections

Sales is finding the buyer’s objections and eliminating them.

By figuring out where your customer is uncertain and addressing it, you increase the chance they will buy.

The main customer objections are:

Lack of trust
They don’t trust your business and that it will work

Lack of fit
They don’t think your way of solving their problem is right

Lack of budget
They don’t think your solution is worth the cost

Lack of urgency
They don’t want to buy now

Counter these objections:

Show the trust
Use trust icons, satisfaction guarantees, and reviews within your product description

Show the fit
Use personalization and explain how it’s worked for people like them

Demonstrate value
Explain each feature/benefit and the reasoning for the price

Give reason to buy now
Offer discounts and use scarcity/urgency

Every business usually has a different set of objections. Figure out YOUR customer objections.

Now, address and overcome these objections in your product descriptions.
