What you'll learn

  • Write honest, specific product descriptions with AI help.
  • Produce three formats: short, medium, and long.
  • Avoid claims you cannot prove.
Lesson

Description = truth + usefulness

A good product description tells the reader what the product is, who it fits, and what it does. Adjectives without specifics ('amazing', 'life-changing') say nothing. Specifics ('fits UK size 6–8', 'washable at 30°C') sell.

Three formats, one product

Short (30–50 words for a marketplace card). Medium (80–120 words for a shop page). Long (200–300 words for a landing block with three benefits and two objections handled). Producing all three at once teaches you which details matter most.

Handle objections honestly

For each product, list the two questions people always ask ('does it fit tall people?', 'is it waterproof?'). Answer them in the description. Honesty about limits builds trust more than pretending there are no limits.

Compliance-safe language

Do not claim medical, health, financial, or safety outcomes you cannot back up. 'Helps you sleep better' is a claim. 'Made of breathable cotton' is a fact. Prefer facts.

Example — Nepal handmade candle

A seller drafts short, medium, and long descriptions for a soy candle. She removes an AI-added line about 'stress relief' because she cannot prove it, and keeps 'burns for approximately 30 hours', which she has tested.

Prompt template

Three-format product description prompt

Write 3 product descriptions.
Product: [name].
Key facts: [material, size, use, care, price if relevant].
Top 2 customer questions: [q1], [q2].
Audience: [who this is for].
Output:
1. Short (30–50 words).
2. Medium (80–120 words).
3. Long (200–300 words).
Rules: no unproven claims, no medical or financial outcomes, no fake reviews.
Practice task

Pick one real (or realistic fictional) product. Draft all three formats. Cross out any AI line you cannot personally verify. Save the cleaned versions.

Success checklist
  • All three formats exist and match the same facts.
  • You removed at least one unverifiable AI claim.
  • You answered the two most common customer questions.
  • No fake reviews or testimonials appear.

Self-check only. Nothing here is scored. Tap a question to reveal the answer.

Reflection

Which of your products would sell better with a shorter, more honest description?

Safety note

Never fabricate reviews, testimonials, endorsements, awards, certifications, or 'as seen on' claims. In many countries, fake reviews are illegal.
