Marcia Yudkin – 73 Ways to Describe a Widget

Overwhelmed by the task of describing 17 (or 1,777) products so they sound distinctive and tantalizing? This how-to manual and brainstorming guide comes to the rescue, with the keys to effective product descriptions for print or online catalogs or sales pieces.

No matter how prosaic the item, no matter how similar it is to other items, ingenuity can make it stand up and wave “Buy me!” to a shopper.

“I may have read every book on catalog copywriting in existence, but 73 Ways to Describe a Widget is the one I’ll be referring to again and again. It offers 73+ ways to help eliminate the fumbling around in the dark for the right approach, and provides good pointers for actually writing the copy. This concise, interesting read has everything I need for a good brainstorm!” – Heidi Tran, Columbus, OH

In addition, catalog writing must have personality. Technically, this element is called voice, and it’s what unifies the descriptions at a web site or in a catalog so that they have a corporate identity. When there’s a tight match between the writing voice and the customers’ interests and needs, the shopper feels the company is speaking directly to them, and that they’re looking at the kind of widgets they’d most like to buy.

For example, here’s a sample sentence from a catalog called The Territory Ahead:

Ultralightweight, anatomically logical and muy guapa, Keen’s huarache overhaul was done with the global wanderer in mind.

That prose has a kind of masculine romance about it. But a catalog or web site’s voice could be efficient, technical, playful, practical, compassionate, soulful… There are countless possibilities.

“73 Ways To Describe a Widget is a ‘cheat sheet’ for copywriters who are out of ideas.” – Bob Bly, Author, The Copywriter’s Handbook and a zillion other books

Whatever the voice chosen, it must be consistent throughout the catalog or website, or prospective customers get confused.
