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
| Quality | Example 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”
Specify Tone and Voice
| Tone | Best For | Example Words |
|---|---|---|
| Professional | B2B, luxury items | sophisticated, premium, refined |
| Casual | Youth products, lifestyle | cool, awesome, vibe |
| Technical | Electronics, tools | precision, specifications, performance |

“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”

Specify what you DON’T want:
“Avoid clichés like ‘game-changer’ or ‘revolutionary’. Don’t use exclamation marks. Don’t mention competitors.”

If the first result isn’t perfect, refine your prompt based on what was missing or incorrect rather than starting from scratch.
- Review the output
- Identify what’s missing or wrong
- Add specific instructions to address those issues
- Regenerate
