NOTE: In this section, we assume that you already have a list (or partial list) of the items that you stock. And we make these recommendations here so that you can evaluate the quality of your item descriptions as they currently exist and make changes now, before you move on. If you DO NOT have a list of items already, or you have a lot of items missing from your list, you may want to create your item description list as you perform your starting counts as described on the How to Count Your Inventory Items page. Either way, you should read this section to familiarize yourself with good practices for creating item descriptions.
Inventory item descriptions should include type over color or size
Most important: Inventory item descriptions should begin with a noun (what the item is) followed by the adjectives that describe the item (in descending order of the adjective’s importance). This is so important that we offer a much more detailed and illustrated example below!.
Inventory item descriptions should be unique.
Avoid loading inventory item descriptions with more information than absolutely necessary. Information such as vendor names, manufacturer, country of origin, expiration dates, and so on belongs in the “item details” or “transaction details” areas where it can be used more effectively.
