Product Descriptions Are the Customer's Decision Trigger

A product description should do more than explain features. It should highlight value and convince the shopper why they need your product. Use the following tips:

  • Start with key benefits: e.g., “Lightweight & breathable for all-day comfort”

  • Include product specs: size, materials, usage

  • Use bullet points for scannability

  • Insert persuasive phrases: “Bestseller,” “Top-rated by 1,000+ buyers,” etc.

  • Incorporate keywords to optimize for internal Shopee/Lazada search rankings

Why Images and Video Impact Sales

Your first product image is your storefront. Before reading any text, customers see your visuals—make them count:

  • Use a white background on the first image

  • Add lifestyle/mockup photos to demonstrate use

  • Design infographics for features and dimensions

  • Include short video clips (<30 sec) to show usage

Data shows that listings with videos can double conversion rates compared to those with only images.

Proven Product Copy Examples

Effective product copy balances clarity and persuasion. Examples:

✅ "Men's Cotton T-Shirt – 100% Combed Cotton, Ultra-Soft & Breathable, 6 Colors, Ships Today"

✅ "Power Bank 20,000 mAh, Fast Charging PD/QC3.0, All-Device Compatible, 12-Month Warranty"

✅ "Orthopedic Latex Pillow – Neck Support, Pain Relief, Washable Cover Included"

Start with a strong headline that states the product's main benefit. Expand below with supporting details.
