Featured Description
Do’s (paragraph should include the following information):
- Who – Who would buy this? i.e. professionals.
- What – The item name.
- When – When would be a good time to use this? i.e. back to school, summer, etc.
- Where – Where might someone place this, or what setting would be a good place to use this item? i.e. on a desk, bedside, etc.
- Why – Why would a consumer need this product? The main features that set it apart from a competitor item, or any other similar item.
- Use SEO keywords that make sense, but don’t “stuff” too many keywords, or people won’t read the description.
- Research Google for reviews on the product if it already exists to address customer concerns or find common uses that weren’t thought of previously.
- Use the Copy.ai account to assist with copywriting – login information is located in Bitwarden.
Do Not’s
- Do not mention “value,” “price,” or any other words that are indicative of the cost associated with the item.
- Avoid clichés like “high quality” or any other subjective phrases that could be construed as an opinion.
- Do not use words that have a negative connotation like “cheap,” or any other issues like “eye strain?” Keep descriptions positive and light. If you must, use a hyphen to create a “problem-solving” statement like “scratch-resistant” or “anti-glare”.
- Don’t use words together that create an oxymoron like “modern classic”; instead, you could say “a modern take on a classic desk pad”.

- Bullet 1: Restate the main function of the item: “Specially designed to…,” “Ideal for…,” “Your solution to…,” “Engineered to…” Keep in mind this will be the first bullet someone reads on Amazon or other sites where they organize content by putting the bullet points first.
- Bullet 2: “Compatible with…,” “Fits…,” “Works with…,” “Connects to…”
- Bullet 3: Rephrase, or include different SEO keywords, from your feature description
- Bullet 4: Rephrase, or include different SEO keywords, from your feature description
- Bullet 5: Rephrase, or include different SEO keywords, from your feature description

- Bullet 7: Color and/or material with adjective/in context “Classic black synthetic leather blends into any office décor”
