How do you customize product descriptions to appeal to different target audiences without losing the brand's voice?

It's the same way you might speak one way to your best friend and another way to your parents. You're still you, the brand is still the brand, but you're going to talk about things the reader can relate to, things they care about.

You might be a little more/less professional/casual (eg) depending on the "setting" of the conversation, but your rules for your brand voice always apply. (BTW, the brand should have a clear and documented image and voice.) 

TLDR; The voice doesn't change. The content changes, reflecting the reader's pain points, etc.

When I’m customizing product descriptions for different target audiences, I start by getting really clear on who I’m talking to. It’s all about understanding their priorities, pain points, and what gets them excited. But no matter how I tweak the messaging, I make sure the brand’s voice stays consistent—that’s the thread that ties it all together.

If I’m writing for a budget-conscious audience, I’ll emphasize value and practicality. I’ll highlight how the product solves a problem, saves money, or offers more for less. It’s less about frills and more about functionality, but I’ll still keep the tone aligned with the brand—friendly, approachable, or whatever fits.

For a luxury-focused crowd, I shift gears to highlight exclusivity, craftsmanship, or premium materials. The language here is a bit more elevated—words like “exquisite,” “tailored,” or “one-of-a-kind” come into play. It’s all about painting a picture of indulgence while staying true to the brand’s personality.

When I’m speaking to a younger, trend-driven audience, I lean into the fun, playful side of the brand. I’ll use slang, emojis, or references to pop culture if it fits, and keep the tone light and relatable. The goal here is to make the product feel like something they have to have because it’s cool and current.

If the audience is more technical or niche—say, professionals in a specific field—I’ll focus on the details that matter most to them. This could mean highlighting performance specs, industry certifications, or case studies. I still make sure the tone doesn’t get too dry or robotic, though—no one wants to feel like they’re reading a manual.

Ultimately, I see it as translating the same core message into different “languages” that each audience understands best. The key is keeping the heart of the brand intact, so no matter who’s reading, they still feel like they’re connecting with the same brand personality.

Now that's a tricky one. 

Let's make one thing clear: you should not lose your brand voice. 

It should always be consistent. 

That being said, there's always some room for subtle reframes, not major changes. 

Here are some simple ways to tackle this issue. 

1. Be aware of the context

Understanding your different target audiences is crucial. People don't make decisions in a vacuum. That's why the same product can be perceived in a different way - depending on how it's presented. 

For example, a brand-new mattress can be a luxury purchase for newlyweds, but it could be a vital essential for sleep-deprived parents or office workers looking for some much-needed back pain relief. 

2. Tweak the story (just a little bit)

You don't need to rebrand your product for different audiences. Slightly changing their perspective can achieve the same results. 

For example, the same pair of shoes can be framed in a different way. Athletes can wear them to boost their performance, while casual users can wear them to stay active and enjoy their Sunday morning runs. 

3. Never lose your brand identity 

Think of your brand voice as a chameleon. It can change its color, but not its shape. 

Example: Think of BMW. Both performance lovers and people seeking a luxurious experience tend to drive BMW cars. But their message is always about premium quality and German precision engineering.

It's not about customizing your product descriptions to appeal to different audiences. It's about changing the perspective of different audiences while your core identity remains the same.
