So shoppers need to know the benefits to make an emotional decision and the features for a logical one. There are many ways to accomplish both goals.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at examples.<\/p>\n<h3>Sensory Words<\/h3>\n<p>Sensory words describe how we experience the world: taste, touch, scent, and sound.<\/p>\n<p>Consider Milk Bar, a dessert delivery shop. It uses loads of sensory words to describe its cakes. The screenshot below shows &#8220;silky,&#8221; &#8220;sweet,&#8221; &#8220;thick,&#8221; &#8220;tangy,&#8221; and &#8220;buttery.&#8221; All increase the emotion of wanting to eat!<\/p>\n<p>Most all product descriptions, beyond food, could benefit from sensory words.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_746056\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-746056\" class=\"wp-image-746056\" title=\"Screenshot of strawberry shortcake product page\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of strawberry shortcake product page\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake.jpg 787w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Milk-Bar-cake-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-746056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Milk Bar uses sensory words to describe its cakes.

Consumers value the opinions of other shoppers. Reading about someone else enjoying a product can be the deciding factor in clicking the &#8220;Add to Cart&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<h3>Bullet Points<\/h3>\n<p>The description below of The Weekend Tee Dress at Everlane starts with features. But features are typically less exciting than benefits. Placing features as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/copywriting-tips-for-amazon-product-pages\">bullet points<\/a> facilitates scanning. Everlane follows the bulleted feature list with a benefit-focused paragraph.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_746058\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-746058\" class=\"wp-image-746058\" title=\"Product page screenshot for The Weekend Tee Dress\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress.jpg\" alt=\"Product page screenshot for The Weekend Tee Dress\" width=\"700\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress.jpg 931w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress-570x339.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Weekend-tee-dress-500x297.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-746058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The description for The Weekend Tee Dress places features as bullet points followed by a benefit-focused paragraph.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Real World<\/h3>\n<p>Let shoppers envision when, where, or how to use your product in their everyday life. Descriptions can help.<\/p>\n<p>In the example below, The Botanical Candle Co describes a &#8220;greenhouse-scented&#8221; candle as \u201ca bright and uplifting choice for kitchens\u2026.\u201d This can help users envision the candle in their kitchen, perhaps filling the room with joy as they prepare a meal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_746057\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-746057\" class=\"wp-image-746057\" title=\"Screenshot of product page for Greenhouse-Scented Candle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of product page for Greenhouse-Scented Candle\" width=\"700\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle.jpg 1031w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle-570x306.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle-150x80.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Greenhouse-scented-candle-500x268.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-746057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Botanical Candle Co describes a Greenhouse-Scented Candle as \u201ca bright and uplifting choice for kitchens\u2026.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We can also see an example of this with The Weekend Tee Dress at Everlane, above. The dress is \u201can easy pick for warm-weather days. Trust us \u2014 your weekend won\u2019t know what hit it.\u201d This can help the shopper imagine throwing it on during a warm summer Saturday before rushing out for coffee-to-go and some errands.<\/p>\n<h3>Images<\/h3>\n<p>Image thumbnails convey what the product looks like and are extremely useful for scanning the page. Including text overlays in images is a common practice to reinforce the main benefits and features from the description.<\/p>\n<p>The example below is for an under-eye cream by ISDIN. The first thumbnail features two text icons: \u201cSame formula\u201d and \u201cCooling ceramic applicator.\u201d I wrote the copy. I knew that the product was recently redesigned, which is why I included the new feature (\u201ccooling ceramic applicator\u201d) but reminded the audience that it\u2019s the &#8220;Same formula.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_746059\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-746059\" class=\"wp-image-746059\" title=\"Product page screenshot for ISDIN eye cream\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1.jpg\" alt=\"Product page screenshot for ISDIN eye cream\" width=\"700\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1.jpg 787w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1-570x450.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1-768x607.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1-150x119.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Eye-cream-1-500x395.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-746059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Text overlays in images are a common practice to reinforce the main benefits and features from the description.
