Marketing-Specific Prompt Tips
Always Include Your Brand Context
ChatGPT doesn't know your brand. Before asking it to write anything, provide a brief brand context block:
Brand: [NAME]
Industry: [INDUSTRY]
Target audience: [DESCRIPTION]
Brand voice: [3-5 ADJECTIVES]
Products/services: [BRIEF LIST]
Competitors: [2-3 NAMES]
Unique value: [1 SENTENCE]
Ask for Multiple Variations
Never settle for the first output. Always ask for 3-5 variations and pick the best elements from each. This is especially important for headlines, ad copy, and subject lines where small differences have big impact.
Use the "Critique Your Own Work" Technique
After ChatGPT generates content, follow up with:
"Now critique what you just wrote. Identify 3 weaknesses and rewrite it to address them."
This self-critique loop produces dramatically better results in our testing.
