5 Tips for Better Product Descriptions
- Make the content easy to digest by adding structure to it:
- Use Enhanced Brand Content if your brand is registered with Amazon.
- If your brand isn’t registered, use html tags to structure the text
- Short paragraphs
- Bold text
- Bullet lists
- Cover elements of the StoryBrand SB7 framework:
- Speak to the customers needs:
- External need
- Internal need
- Philosophical need
- Establish trust as the customer’s guide:
- Empathy – show you understand how the customer feels
- Authority – mention awards, certifications, etc. related to your product or company
- Give the customer a plan:
- Process plan – tell them to buy now, and tell them what will happen next when they do
- Agreement plan – warranty or money-back guarantee for risk-reversal
- Speak to the customers needs:
- Tell a story…literally
- Use descriptive language to transport readers to a place where your product is being used, then let their imaginations take over
- Tell a story of one customer not using your product and experiencing failure and another customer using it and experiencing success
- For inspiration, read product descriptions on the J. Peterman Company website, such as this one and this one
- Include as many of the keywords as possible that you haven’t used elsewhere
- Include any important features or specifications that you haven’t included in your bullets and that will be important to some customers
