Want to learn about them? Perfect. Here they are.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Provides information about your product<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At its most basic, a product description tells your reader what you\u2019re selling.<\/p>\n<p>The product description might include specs and will always delve into features. People can read the description and decide if the product is right for them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61469\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61469\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1675611004541.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61469 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1675611004541.png\" alt=\"Product description example\" width=\"600\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1675611004541.png 600w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1675611004541-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61469\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.referralcandy.com\/blog\/product-descriptions-that-sell\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, if they\u2019re still on the fence or want to learn more, they can click the internal links in your description or review the videos and images the description should include.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Incentivizes purchases<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Besides being informational, your product descriptions can be sales-driven to drive conversions.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to do that is by focusing on the product\u2019s benefits. By putting your readers in the shoes of your average customer, they\u2019ll realize how valuable your product is and check out with it in their cart.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Improves the customer experience<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever encountered a product online with no description, just a price?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s sketchy, right?<\/p>\n<p>Photos alone aren\u2019t enough to inspire a confident purchasing decision. Quality product descriptions will enable more faith in your brand and products.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Helps your dropshipping website rank in search results<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Perform keyword research, identify mid-difficulty terms your audience searches for, and then use them in your product description to signal to search engines that your dropshipping website should rank for those specific terms.<\/p>\n<p>The more visible you are online, the more website traffic you should expect, which can result in more sales.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The differences between mediocre and outstanding product descriptions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Of course, not all product descriptions are the same. While having some descriptor is always better than none, the best ones stand out for these qualities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They target your ideal market based on research.<\/li>\n<li>They use evocative, descriptive imagery.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re keyword-optimized.<\/li>\n<li>They include storytelling elements.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re benefits-focused.<\/li>\n<li>They include social proof, either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/testimonial-examples\/\">testimonials<\/a> or reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Components_of_an_Effective_Product_Description\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Key Components of an Effective Product Description<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do you make your product descriptions shine? They should include these components, at the very least.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Features<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What does your product include? You should list all the biggest features (or every feature, depending on how many). What better way to inspire people who need your product than by describing what the features are?<\/p>\n<p>Be direct in describing your product, but don\u2019t be boring. If your descriptions are dry, no one will bother reading them, which means missing out on sales.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Benefits<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Weave the benefits into your product features.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re selling a vacuum cleaner and talking about how well it sucks up pet hair, mentioning how this will help those with heavy-shedding dogs or multiple pets in the house is a benefit. It naturally pairs with the feature.<\/p>\n<p>Dig down deep when writing benefits. This is your chance to showcase your unique brand\u2019s value and differentiate your products, so take your time and put a lot of focus on this.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Specifications<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve already proven the value of product specs, or at least, I hope I have.<\/p>\n<p>A product&#8217;s dimensions are part of what influences a person\u2019s purchasing decision. They need to know if it weighs too much for them to pick it up when it\u2019s delivered to their doorstep or if it\u2019s too long to fit in their living room.<\/p>\n<p>If you leave your customers guessing, they won\u2019t bother buying. They\u2019ll move on to your competitor, who provides clear specs.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/eco-friendly-dropshipping\/\">Read also: How to Build an Eco-Friendly Dropshipping Business<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Good narrative<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best way to think of a product description is as part sales copy or as part story.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying you should approach your description like you\u2019re sitting down to write the next great American novel.<\/p>\n<p>However, interjecting your personality, incorporating your brand\u2019s story, and sharing your values in the product description are great ways to keep people hooked.<\/p>\n<p>Like any good written material, you want people on the edge of their figurative seats, eagerly awaiting the next word. Using a narrative separates the good product descriptions from the truly great ones.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Keywords<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is your reminder that researched keywords are a valuable part of your product descriptions. You only need to insert each one once, maybe twice, but use them conversationally.<\/p>\n<p>Your audience doesn\u2019t care about your SEO or keywords. They care if you robotically stuff keywords into copy in a way that doesn\u2019t make sense or read naturally.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Social proof<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A product description doesn\u2019t need to bog down the reader with reviews.<\/p>\n<p>One glowing comment is all it takes to drive home the fact that your products change lives and that your customer could be the next lucky one to experience the benefits.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Bullet points and bolding<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Formatting is so important in a product description.<\/p>\n<p>Use bolding the way you would subheads to split up points and create bulleted lists for features and specs. These small but important changes make the copy much more readable, augmenting the user experience.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-service-for-dropshipping\/\">Read also: Customer Service for Dropshipping &#8212; A Detailed Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_Write_Product_Descriptions_That_Sell\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Tips to Write Product Descriptions That Sell<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Do you want your dropshipping product descriptions to knock it out of the park?

Get to know their pain points, interests, challenges, and needs.<\/p>\n<p>Then, consider what kind of copy would generate the biggest response and write it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use language that evokes emotion<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Words have power; they\u2019re like magic.<\/p>\n<p>Well, if you use the right ones, that is.

Your audience reads your product description, so you should write it for them.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, that means good formatting, non-generic copy, evocative terms, and natural use of keywords.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Make them easy to read at a glance<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If someone wants the quick version of your product description, can they glean that by glossing over it, or do you require them to sit down and read the entire thing? If it\u2019s the latter, make it easier and faster to read.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean people will largely ignore your product descriptions. However, you\u2019re giving the option to those who don\u2019t have time to make it easier and faster to read.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Add a CTA or two<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">What\u2019s the point of writing a product description? To sell, of course. And what tool helps you sell? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/powerful-call-to-action-phrases\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call to action<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Add a CTA link above and below the fold; maybe you can use some buttons. The language in the CTA should be clear so that when a user clicks the link, they know where they\u2019re being redirected. This will encourage them to click the links with confidence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Include keywords in the product title<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">I\u2019ve talked enough about using keywords in the product description, but they should also be in the title.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The title is a chance to catch the reader\u2019s attention and inspire them to continue reading.

Making the most of visual media is as easy as following these pointers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use high-res visual media<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s the sense of sharing visuals if they\u2019re fuzzy, grainy, or poorly quality? If your dropshipping business only offers its products online, it\u2019s not like your audience can scope them out in a store.<\/p>\n<p>They need the highest-caliber visual media to help them buy with confidence. If your photos and videos are too crusty for your audience to make out the product details well, they will seek out the competition instead.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Don\u2019t bog down the page loading speed<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While you should always prioritize high-quality visual media, that can\u2019t affect your website loading speed.<\/p>\n<p>You will lose traffic if your site doesn\u2019t load within two to three seconds on desktop and eight seconds on mobile.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-strategies\/app-and-mobile\/page-load-time-statistics\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Think with Google<\/a> reports that the bounce rate likelihood goes up 32% for each second it takes a webpage to load between one and three seconds.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Show the product from several angles in photos<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/product-descriptions\/\">product descriptions<\/a> feature a main image, then an expandable carousel of additional photos.<\/p>\n<p>The product images should showcase the product from all sides and angles, including the top, sides, and bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you take photos of the product in optimal lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Natural daylight is best, but alternatively, bright LED lighting does a good job. Avoid fluorescents and other lights that give off a dingy yellow glow. They will make your products look bad.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Include a video showing the product in use<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Recording a quick video tutorial on assembling and using the product will go a long way toward motivating sales.<\/p>\n<p>Once people see how easy it is to use the product, many of their worries or concerns will melt away.<\/p>\n<p>Use high-quality equipment.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a professional camera, per se, but a newer smartphone. Again, choose good lighting and film in a clean, bright space without distractions or passersby.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Make your visual media mobile-friendly<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If your video or image takes up the full product page when a user logs in on mobile, they will bounce. Mobile optimization is such a common part of today\u2019s marketing and SEO that there\u2019s no way you can miss it.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The videos and images have to display well on the mobile version of your website as well as the desktop version. The pages don\u2019t have to be identical but should look close to maintain your branding.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Optimize your visual media for SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Add alt descriptions to all your images, where you briefly describe the photo&#8217;s contents.<\/p>\n<p>This is another great spot to add your product keywords, and it helps SEO.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Test your visual media<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure to A\/B test your product page before it goes live.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, gaining more conversions boils down to the CTA button or image placement, and the only way to know where everything should go is by testing.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-business-plan\/\">Read also: The Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Writing eCommerce Business Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overcoming_Common_Challenges\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Overcoming Common Challenges<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Writing good product descriptions can be tough, as you can face several obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about the common pitfalls in writing product descriptions for dropshipping and how to avoid or solve them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Generic descriptions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As I said before, have a second or third set of eyes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/five-star-reviews\/\">review your product<\/a> description before you post it.<\/p>\n<p>If they feel like there are generic, everyman kinds of statements in the copy, erase them or modify them to be more on-brand and original.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Keyword stuffing<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While using targeted keywords signals to search engines that you should receive a boost in rank for those search terms, keyword stuffing is still a no-no.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about <em>how <\/em>you use the keywords, not how many times.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what keyword stuffing is: jamming in search terms as often as possible, regardless of whether they fit naturally. Google penalizes search engines that engage in this behavior, so limit your keyword usage across product pages.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Outdated descriptions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some of your descriptions could become outdated as you build up a product roster. For instance, saying a product is the best in the line when it\u2019s been usurped is outdated.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, dropshipping platforms like Shopify allow you to bulk-edit your product descriptions by using the admin dashboard. This simplifies what would have otherwise been days of work.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t use the Shopify store, search for an eCommerce solution that also offers bulk editing, or you\u2019ll lose a lot of time whenever your product descriptions become outdated.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Outsourced content is inaccurate or veers away from your brand<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You might outsource product description writing to a freelancer to save time.<\/p>\n<p>That was smart thinking, but you must ensure two main points. First, the content has to be accurate, and second, it must be on-brand.<\/p>\n<p>Getting accurate content is as easy as sending product specs, fact sheets, and other information not necessarily available to the public.<\/p>\n<p>As for keeping the content branded to your dropshipping store, send the freelancer a style sheet with your brand tone, and work with them to refine the copy until it\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-dropshipping\/\">Read also: Discover What is Dropshipping and How You Can Do It<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Analyzing_and_Optimizing_Descriptions\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Analyzing and Optimizing Descriptions<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve written some descriptive copy for your dropshipping store, and of course, you tested it.<\/p>\n<p>The product description has since gone live, but how do you know if it\u2019s helping your business?<\/p>\n<p>Simple, you have to track KPIs. This list will get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Website traffic<\/li>\n<li>Webpage traffic for specific product pages<\/li>\n<li>Time spent on page<\/li>\n<li>Bounce rate<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/abandoned-cart-emails\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cart abandonment<\/a> rate<\/li>\n<li>Sales amount<\/li>\n<li>Conversion rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Performance data will tell you a lot about your product descriptions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if one page gets all the traffic and another only attracts moderate traffic and has a high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/bounce-rates-email-deliverability\/\">bounce rate<\/a>, you must examine that page.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic alone isn\u2019t necessarily a positive metric. If you get a lot of traffic to a page but people still bounce, you should again consider revising your product description.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">You don\u2019t necessarily have to go back to the drawing board.

Why are product descriptions so important for dropshipping stores?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your dropshipping store has an exclusively online presence, precluding your target audience from seeing the item before they order it. Product descriptions invite prospective customers to learn more about your product and then purchase it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2. How long should a good product description be?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Keep your product descriptions between 300 and 400 words. Anything shorter doesn\u2019t fully encapsulate your product, while a longer description is too much.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. Can I use the manufacturer\u2019s description for my products?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can use bits and pieces but should not copy and paste it word-for-word. This won\u2019t help your SEO; most manufacturer descriptions are dry and bland, so you won\u2019t motivate your audience to buy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. How often should I update my product descriptions?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As often as required, such as when introducing a new product in the same series or discontinuing one of your old products.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">5. What are the best tools for writing and optimizing product descriptions?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You have many great options to explore, including ChatGPT, Jasper, Rytr, Anyword, <a href=\"http:\/\/Frase.io\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frase.io<\/a>, WriteSonic, AISEO, <a href=\"http:\/\/Rytr.me\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rytr.me<\/a>, CopyAI, Hypotenuse AI, Shogun AI, and Copysmith.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">6. How can I make my product descriptions stand out from the competition?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Use your brand, which makes you different from your competitors.
