How to Write Product Descriptions That Sell with Examples

Do you know that when someone reads your product description, you only have a 1% to 8% chance of converting them into a sale? If you are not converting more than 1% of your traffic into sales, then you need to write better descriptions that will really sell your products.

When I write product copy for my customers, my goal is to quickly:

• Emphasize the main value of the product and what problem or need it solves.
• Answer who, what, when, where, why, how if needed.
• Make the reader want to buy it.

Below are two more product descriptions that I wrote for customers, so note how I managed to get the main selling points across in just a few sentences:

Round Pedestal Wood Dining Table Description Example

Seamlessly fitting into any decor style, this mid century modern round table is ideal for the kitchen or dining room.  With a pedestal “tulip” base that allows for more leg room, the tapered and angled legs also make seating much more flexible around the table’s perimeter. 

Your table is flawlessly handmade in your choice of solid cherry, walnut, oak or mahogany wood (shown here in walnut).  You never have to worry about spills and stains on the wood as our tables feature a commercial grade worry-free finish that allows easy water cleanup.  This table is 29.5” high and available in 11 sizes from 30” to 60”.  Proudly handmade in the USA.
