How to Write Product Descriptions That Sell (Even If You're Not a Writer)

Your product may be amazing — but if the description is weak, customers may scroll past, hesitate, or not trust your business enough to buy.

A good product description is like your salesperson on the website. It should explain clearly what the product is, why someone should buy it, and how it helps them.

This blog shows how small businesses in Nepal can write strong, clear, and simple product descriptions — even without writing experience.


Why Product Descriptions Matter

  • Help customers understand the product quickly

  • Show benefits, not just features

  • Improve SEO and help your product get found online

  • Answer common questions — reducing returns or confusion

With Thulo, you can add multiple languages (like Nepali and English) to make your descriptions even more relatable.


5 Tips to Write Product Descriptions That Sell


1. Start with the Customer in Mind

Ask yourself:

  • Who is this product for?

  • What problem does it solve?

  • Why would someone choose this over others?

Bad example: “Black shoes for men”
Better: “Comfortable black formal shoes for working professionals — great for long office hours and events.”


2. Focus on Benefits, Not Just Features

Instead of just listing what it is — explain what it does or why it’s useful.

❌ Features-only: “100% cotton T-shirt, blue, medium”
✅ Benefits included: “Soft and breathable cotton T-shirt — perfect for Nepali summer days. Lightweight comfort for daily wear.”


3. Use Simple, Clear Language

Avoid technical jargon. Write like you speak.

  • Short sentences

  • Easy words

  • Bullet points if needed

Imagine you're talking to a customer in your shop — how would you explain it?


4. Include Keywords and Common Search Terms

Think like your customer. What would they type on Google?

Examples:

  • “buy kurta online Nepal”

  • “comfortable slippers for home”

  • “birthday gift set under 1000”

Add these phrases naturally into your description — this helps with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Google visibility.


5. Add a Call to Action (CTA)

Encourage the customer to take action.

Use phrases like:

  • “Order now while stock lasts”

  • “Perfect gift for birthdays and festivals”

  • “Add to cart and enjoy fast delivery”


Real Example: Handmade Soap Seller

Sita sells natural soaps from Pokhara. Her old description was:
“Handmade soap, 100g, lemongrass”

After editing, she now uses:

“100g handmade soap made from natural oils and lemongrass essential oil. Gentle on skin and perfect for daily use. Ideal for gifting or personal care.”

Her online orders increased after updating the product details.
