Prompt Fundamentals

What Makes a Good Prompt?

A good prompt is:

  • Specific - Clearly describes what you want
  • Detailed - Includes relevant context and requirements
  • Structured - Organized in a logical way
  • Concise - Avoids unnecessary words while being complete

The Anatomy of a Prompt

[Subject] + [Context] + [Style/Tone] + [Specific Requirements]

Example:

“Write a product description for a premium leather wallet (Subject) for our luxury e-commerce store (Context) in a sophisticated, elegant tone (Style) highlighting durability, craftsmanship, and Italian leather materials (Requirements)“


Prompting Techniques

Be Specific About Your Product

QualityExample Prompt
Bad”Write about a wallet”
Good”Write a product description for a brown leather wallet”
Best”Write a compelling product description for a handcrafted Italian leather bifold wallet in cognac brown, featuring RFID protection and 8 card slots”

Include Target Audience

Understanding who you’re writing for helps the AI tailor the content:

  • Demographics - Age, gender, income level
  • Interests - Lifestyle, hobbies, values
  • Pain points - Problems your product solves
  • Buying motivation - Why they would purchase

Example:

“Target audience: Professional men aged 30-50 who value quality craftsmanship and are willing to invest in accessories that reflect their success”

ecomAI (Marketing Content)

For marketing copy, focus on:

  • Value proposition - What unique benefit do you offer?
  • Call to action - What should the reader do?
  • Emotional appeal - How should the reader feel?

Example:

“Create Instagram ad copy for our new wireless earbuds launch. Emphasize the 40-hour battery life and noise cancellation. Target fitness enthusiasts. Include a sense of urgency for the launch discount. End with a clear CTA to shop now.”


Advanced Techniques

Use Examples

Provide examples of what you want:

“Write in a style similar to Apple’s product descriptions - minimal, elegant, focusing on user experience rather than technical specifications”

Negative Prompting

Specify what you DON’T want:

“Avoid clichés like ‘game-changer’ or ‘revolutionary’. Don’t use exclamation marks. Don’t mention competitors.”

Iterative Refinement

If the first result isn’t perfect, refine your prompt based on what was missing or incorrect rather than starting from scratch.

  1. Review the output
  2. Identify what’s missing or wrong
  3. Add specific instructions to address those issues
  4. Regenerate
