Copywriting tips
- Lead with a benefit, not a feature — customers buy outcomes, not specs
- Include sensory language to help customers imagine owning the product
- Address the most common objection in your description
- End with a micro-CTA that reinforces the purchase decision
Features vs. benefits — the most important copy distinction
Amateur product copy lists features. Professional copy sells benefits. A feature is what the product has. A benefit is what the customer gets. "40-hour battery" is a feature. "Never get caught without sound during a long flight" is a benefit.
The golden rule: for every feature you mention, ask "so what?" and use that answer in your copy. Stack the emotional benefit on top of the functional one. "40-hour battery → survive any trip → feel truly free."
SEO for product descriptions
Good product descriptions double as SEO content. Include your primary keyword in the first sentence, once in the body, and once in a subheading if you have one. Use secondary keywords naturally throughout.
Avoid duplicate content — don't copy manufacturer descriptions that dozens of other stores use. Unique descriptions rank better and convert better because they feel authentic.
