Industrial Product Descriptions

The Elements

Typically, writers on our team were responsible for researching the products and supplying the following elements in the final deliverable:

  • A new title, if modifications were necessary
  • The key features of the product that would be important to customers
  • A descriptive paragraph that elaborates on the key features and describes other relevant features if necessary
  • A “novice” paragraph, if required or available
  • A “manufacturer paragraph” that provides basic information about the manufacturer of the product
  • A “What’s in the Box?” list, if the product as sold came with numerous components

The key features and the product description were the “core” elements we provided. That is, all products in our assignments required at least those two components. Usually we delivered copy that included one or more of the other elements listed above.

The Process

The process usually began with research, unless we were working on a product line we were already familiar with. We submitted our work to editors and there would be some back-and-forth between us before the copy was finalized.

Writers also wrote “novice” paragraphs, which explained the purpose of the product or product line. They were used particularly when that purpose wasn’t obvious, of course. When a novice paragraph was finalized, it entered a pool that was shared among writers on the team. That is why in many of the examples provided here, I have indicated that I was not responsible for the content beyond a certain point.

The same was true for “manufacturer paragraphs,” which I didn’t include in the portfolio anyway.
