If you run a shop or sell online, you write the same kinds of messages every day. ChatGPT can write the first draft of each one in seconds, if you tell it clearly what you need. Copy the prompts below and replace the parts in brackets.
1. A reply to a late order
Prompt to copy
Write a short, polite reply to a customer whose order is two days late. Apologise once and say it will arrive by [day].
2. A weekend offer post
Prompt to copy
Write a Facebook post for my [type of shop] shop: [discount] off [products] this weekend. Short, friendly, one emoji.
3. A neat price list
Prompt to copy
Here is my price list: [paste your list]. Put it in a neat table, lowest price first.
4. An answer to a question you get every day
Prompt to copy
Customers often ask if we deliver to other cities. Write a polite answer: yes, it takes [days], and costs [price].
5. A description for a new product
Prompt to copy
Write a three-line description for this product: [name, colour, size, material]. Plain words, no exaggeration.
Read it before you send it
What ChatGPT writes goes out in your name. Check the prices, dates and delivery costs yourself. If you give it a wrong fact, it will write the mistake very neatly.
