Online fashion shops not only rely on great pictures but also on the powers of persuasion of talented writers to present their items in the proper light. The everyday tasks of many of our Clickworkers involve writing product descriptions or category texts because clients need more than just a great picture.

What do you have to keep in mind when writing fashion texts?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to fashion, people are usually influenced by their emotions<\/strong>. The customer wants to feel good and look good in the garment; but he also wants to highlight his personality and communicate a specific image of himself.\r\n\r\n Good pictures awaken initial interest, but customers often search for decisive information that will confirm the desire to purchase.\r\nThe perfect fashion text includes all the necessary information about the garment or accessory in such a way as to arouse the customer’s inclination to buy.\r\nThe following list includes some of the essential points that belong in a fashion text:<\/p>\r\n \r\n– Material, for example, cotton, silk, viscose \r\n\r\n\r\n What belongs in the text and what doesn’t?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nMany shops want the texts to be timeless; therefore “currently”, “at the moment” or “this month” ought to be left out. Filler words such as “quite”, “occasionally” or “virtually”, proverbs, abbreviations as well as unnecessary (promotional) phrases also ought to be avoided. Of course, every client wants to see his or her items presented as favorably as possible. Nevertheless, you must not lie and describe the item in terms that do not apply. Also avoid comparisons with other products, for example, “The handbag by X offers much more wearing comfort than similar models by Y”. Superlatives such as “the best, most beautiful model” are generally not well liked because they sound exaggerated and implausible. Too many unnecessary details or inappropriate terminology can discourage customers. Commonplace terms such as ” trendy highlight” or “top eye-catcher” do not arouse interest. Therefore, focus on the essentials to help convince the reader of his purchase. \r\n\r\n
