Start Here Based on What You Need
| NEED | START HERE | WHY |
|---|---|---|
| Specific facts | Use fabric, fit, construction, care, and use case | AI needs material to work with. Otherwise it opens the adjective drawer. |
| Customer language | Use reviews, support tickets, and search terms | Real phrases beat brand-room poetry. |
| Voice examples | Provide approved copy samples | Show the tool what good sounds like. |
| Banned phrases | Block vague words before they breed | Versatile, effortless, elevated, must-have. Handle with gloves. |
| Claim control | Use only provable benefits | No imaginary fabric powers. |
| Human edit | Review for truth, taste, and rhythm | AI gets you a draft. Humans make it worth publishing. |
Generic Copy Comes From Generic Inputs
If the prompt says “write a stylish product description for this dress,” the output will be stylish in the same way hotel lobby art is stylish. Technically present. Probably beige. Not doing much for anyone.
AI needs specificity: who the product is for, what it does, how it fits, what the fabric feels like, why the customer cares, what objections to answer, and what your brand would never say even under emotional duress.
Give the Tool a Voice Sheet, Not a Vibe Cloud
A useful voice sheet includes sentence length, vocabulary, sample approved copy, banned words, claims policy, tone range, and examples of what sounds too generic. “Cool but premium” is not enough. That is a mood board wearing sunglasses.
Give the tool examples. “Sound like this.” “Do not sound like this.” “Use these terms.” “Never use these terms.” AI performs better when taste becomes instruction.
Facts Beat Adjectives Every Time
Replace empty adjectives with product truth. Instead of “perfect for every occasion,” say what the product is actually built for. Instead of “elevated essential,” explain the fabric, fit, drape, structure, pocket, closure, layering value, or styling role.
Customers do not need copy to flirt with them. They need help deciding if the product belongs in their life.
Mine Reviews Before You Write
Use reviews, support tickets, return reasons, chat logs, social comments, and search terms. Customers will tell you what they care about in refreshingly unglamorous language. That language is gold.
If customers keep asking whether a fabric is heavy, whether the waistband rolls, whether the color is sheer, or whether the fit runs small, that belongs in the product copy. Ignoring it because it is not “on brand” is how returns learn to reproduce.
Run the Beige Detector
After AI writes the copy, search for vague words: versatile, effortless, elevated, timeless, must-have, perfect, chic, flattering, staple, seamless, essential. Some can stay if they are earned. Most are freeloading.
Then ask: what does this sentence help the customer understand? If the answer is nothing, delete it. The product page is not a place for decorative fog.
Use a Rewrite Prompt With Teeth
Prompt: “Rewrite this PDP copy to make it more specific, more useful, and less generic. Remove vague adjectives unless they are supported by product facts. Replace filler with fit, fabric, construction, use case, care, or customer-relevant detail. Do not invent claims. Keep the tone [insert voice rules]. Copy: [paste copy]. Product facts: [paste facts]. Customer questions: [paste questions]. Banned phrases: [paste list].”
