Writing product descriptions that sell

A good product description does the selling when you're not there. It answers the customer's questions before they even ask.

Structure your description

Lead with the benefit, not the feature. Instead of "Made with 100% cotton", try "Stays cool and breathable even during Lagos heat — made with 100% cotton."

A solid description covers:

  • What it is — one clear sentence
  • Who it's for — your ideal customer
  • Why it's worth buying — the key benefit
  • Details that matter — size, material, what's included

Use the extra tabs

Bizthom product pages have tabs for Shipping Info, Size Guide, and FAQs. Fill these in — they reduce "DM me for details" messages and give customers confidence to buy.

SEO in your description

Use the words your customers would type into Google. If you sell "ankara maxi dress", say that — don't call it "African print floor-length garment". Set a custom meta title and meta description in the SEO section.
