What is a Product Description?

Some factors are important in the SEO ranking of a product page. These factors may include:

• Meta title
• Meta description

• Alt text for images
• Product Description

A product Description is a brief but detailed overview of a product’s features and specifications in the form of short paragraphs and bullets. It includes an attractive introduction to the product including its color, fabric, style, material, stitching, benefits, USPs, and much more. 

Here is an example of a perfect product description for a men’s denim jacket.

Tips to Write Unique Product Descriptions Without Plagiarism That Sell 

Uniqueness in product description is very important because two products having the same descriptions within a website will start competing with each other. Keywords are used to rank websites and each product page is targeted to a specific keyword.

These keywords are used in multiple places on a product page, also in product descriptions. It will not work for you to use similar descriptions for two of your products. 

For example, if there are two jackets slightly different from each other but have many features in common then you can take assistance by rephrasing.

All you need to do is, write a unique product description for one of the jackets and rephrase that description for the other.

If you’ll rephrase the description, you’ll get a wholly unique product description for your second jacket. 

But things are not over here! Let’s have a look at some advanced tips.

Know Your Audience Well

You should be well aware of your audience and their taste. When you are writing a product description, make sure to write it for a versatile audience. Also, make sure to write product descriptions according to the sensitivity of your product.

For example, a customer buying a coffin from your website, might not expect a charming product description. There should be sensible and ethical words used in this product description. While if you are selling a denim jacket, the product description should be appealing and endearing.

Add a Hook at the Top

Asking relevant and interesting questions at the start of a product description attracts the reader to go through it. You should know your audience and their requirements. A hook can be anything that makes the buyers confused enough to read the whole description.

For example, “Are you looking for a wardrobe staple to upgrade your tonight’s outlook?” Or “We know you already missed this opportunity last time, do you want to miss again?”

Make Sure to Discuss Buyer’s Pain Points

It is necessary to be aware of your customer’s pain points, known as pre-launch analysis. You should know the reasons behind customers buying your product. Mention those pain points in your product description to have maximum conversions. These pain points can be productive type as well as financial type.

For example, “Are you tired of that traditional ice-creams?” Or “Running out of budget? Don’t worry!” 

Enlist Benefits in Bullets

Make sure to add bullets in your product descriptions, you can either enlist specifications or benefits in bullets. Bullets are easily readable for customers to find the necessary information. You can also mash up the specifications and benefits with each other, write a feature and explain its benefits with it.

Play with the Buyer’s Imagination

Write product descriptions that force the customers to think. Play with their imagination, and make them read it as a story. A story is always more appealing than simple sentences. Using sensory words according to your product, and including mini-stories in your product descriptions cut off rational barriers against coaxing techniques.

To practice this technique, start your sentence or paragraph with the word “Imagine” and close it with a description of how your readers will feel when owning and using your product.

Keep it Short, Simple & Specific

Keep your product descriptions short and brief to save the readers time. Do not overemphasize things keep them simple and be specific to your products. Never start comparing your products with others in product descriptions. Do not forget to include keywords and USPs in your product descriptions.
