How To Write Product Descriptions That Sell Handmade Work

You can’t assume your buyer knows anything.
Not about your materials, not about the symbolism behind your designs, and not about why your work costs what it costs.

This short guide shows you how to write product descriptions that do the explaining for you: calmly, clearly, and without begging for trust.

Written from a maker for makers who care about both their customers and their craft, not only algorithms.

What this guide is (and what it isn’t)

This is not a copywriting formula. It won’t teach you fake urgency, emotional manipulation, or SEO gymnastics.

It will teach you how to write product descriptions that:

• explain your work to strangers
• reduce buyer hesitation
• answer unspoken questions

and let the right customers say “yes” without pressure,

Especially if you make things that are slow, symbolic, truly handmade.

Inside the guide

In this short, focused PDF, you’ll learn:

• Why “writing for the smartest person in the room” fails in product descriptions
• How to explain materials, process, and meaning without sounding defensive
• The one assumption that quietly kills sales
• How clarity builds trust faster than persuasion
• A simple structure you can reuse for every product (without templates)

Includes real-world example from my shop, rewritten and explained.
