Why Great Product Copy Matters

Let’s be honest: most product descriptions read like they were written by a bored intern on their last day. But here’s the thing – in e-commerce, your product copy isn’t just description, it’s your virtual salesperson. And while everyone’s chasing the perfect product photos, the secret weapon of top e-commerce sites is actually their copy.

Common product copy challenges:

  • Inconsistent tone
  • Generic descriptions
  • Missing key benefits
