You will be writing product descriptions for products sold on Walmart’s Marketplace.

 

Tone/Voice:

Specific and informative, not just fluffy or generic.

Daymon Product Description Form:

Click here to download a file containing folders for each product. Each product folder contains an Excel file and a Word file. The Word document is where you write your product descriptions by filling out the highlighted sections. Only worry about the right column (Proposed Copy).

Keywords:

  • The excel file contains keywords that must be used as follows: Keywords highlighted in green, however, we do not need to repeat duplicate keywords or use them exactly as they are listed (unless it is a phrase such as “Non-BPA lining – the lining of this can was produced without BPA”). We really just need to hit each keyword once. (we are working coming up with a better system for this client)
  • For example:
    • Canned beans
    • Canned low sodium beans
    • Low sodium beans
    • Beans
    • Dark red
    • Canned
    • Kidney beans
    • Dark red kidney beans

    Can all be summed up as:

    • Canned, low sodium, dark red kidney beans

Format:

  • You will be writing a Product Title (also known as Product Name), Key Features (also know as Highlights), and Description for each product.

Product Titles:

  • Make it 50-75 characters in length for best readability and SEO results.
  • Create a unique, specific product name that isn’t used word-for-word on other websites.
  • Follow the guideline: Brand + Product Name + Size.
  • If “canned” is in the title, it should be just before the size.
  • Ex: Great Value Kidney Beans No Salt Added, Canned 15 oz
  • “oz” should always be lowercase.

 

Key Features:

  • Include 5 to 10 of the most important benefits and features of your item.
  • Include keywords in the key features.
  • Put the most important features first.
  • Call out specific details about the item and provide complete information. Do not repeat what the item is or include generic, meaningless information.

**Note: Key Features appear “above the fold.” They should be written in an informative, style that motivates customers to purchase the product.**

Description:

  • Write a paragraph of 150 words or more. The longer, the better!
  • Include Product Name, Brand, Product Keywords, and Related Keywords (if needed).
  • Include at least one value proposition and use the word “because”.
  • Ensure your Description is unique (i.e., not copied from other sites) and is truly useful for customers. Avoid too much repetition.
  • Write copy that is specific and informative, not just fluffy or generic. Show expertise, knowledge and authority with facts and tips.
  • Be clear and conversational when writing. You’re helping customers make an informed decision; you’re not trying to sell them on anything. Some slang is acceptable – as long as it doesn’t break an authentic, straightforward tone – since it captures more key terms.

A couple of things to note:

  • The claim on the BPAs is strict. We cannot say “BPA Free” at this time.
  • We cannot say that they can purchase an individual can because on Walmart.com you have to buy at least two.
  • We are going to need to drop “case” or “cases” because technically these products are not shrink-wrapped in a case.
  • Don’t make any claims that are not fact. (ex: “you can eat these straight from the can”)
  • Don’t make any medical claims. (ex: “these beans contain disease fighting antioxidants”)
  • Keep the same file name as the Word document you downloaded.
  • Put Daymon in the subject line of the email and send to [email protected]
