Bear with me on this analogy! 😅 Imagine this. You’re in a garden, with seeds in your hand. Where and how you plant them decides what blooms. This is pretty much what happens when you’re generating content with AI.

​Your prompts are the seeds. The better you plant them, the better the output. This article will show you how to craft prompts that help your ideas grow into beautiful content and visuals. Let's jump right in!


General prompt guidelines

AI can't read your mind (yet). While it can handle both simple and complex prompts, it's better to be specific for best results.

Here's what to remember for fine-tuning your prompts.

Below, we've listed some real-life examples related to various industries. But you can customize these to fit your needs! 👇

Image generation

  • 🖼️ Visual focus: Clearly state the main subject, like "Yoga Mat Product Shot" for Health and Wellness or "Time-saving cooking gadgets" for Food

  • 🎨 Style direction: Paint the vibe you're after, from "Vibrant Colors for a Summer Clothing Line" in Fashion to "Serene Blues for Spa Services" in Health and Wellness

  • 🌑 Contrast & lighting: Highlight "Luxury Watches" or "High-End Cosmetics" with "products placed on a dark background," using lighting to emphasize texture and luxury

  • 💡Contextual setting: Mention the setting or background, such as "in a busy café" for Food industry visuals or "at an innovative startup office" for Consulting services.

  • 🎁 Product placement: For Ecommerce, detail how the product is used or seen, like "casually worn by real people" or "professionally displayed in a showroom"

  • 😊 Emotional appeal: Mention the emotion you want to evoke, e.g., "inspiration" for Education platforms or "trust" for Legal services

  • 📌 Cultural or seasonal details: Incorporate relevant themes, such as "back-to-school" for Education content or "summer menu" for Food promotions.

Text generation

Just a quick tip: Digital First AI’s fill-in-the-blank templates make writing marketing content easy! We'll ask you to provide these details before you hit "Generate".

  • ✏️ Tone is everything: Aim for a "compassionate, understanding voice" for Health and Wellness or a "bold, confident approach" for Fitness

  • 🗒️ Detail your needs: Provide details about your audience, like the professional demographic for Legal advice articles or young families for Real Estate, which helps tailor your prompts for written assets

  • 🗨️ Use your audience language : Use language that resonates with your audience, like "jargon-free explanations" for complex Legal topics or "slang and humor" for youthful Fashion brands

  • 💡 Highlight Unique Selling Points: Clearly articulate your product/service's USPs, like "unmatched durability" or "exclusive technology" for a compelling narrative

  • 🎯 Content purpose clarification: Define the objective of your piece, like "to educate on the benefits of meditation" for Health and Wellness blogs or "to persuade in favor of sustainable building practices" for Construction articles

  • Call to Action: Direct the desired action, such as "Subscribe for more tips" for Health and Wellness blogs or "Book a consultation" for Consulting services.


Prompt library with outcomes

Nothing beats solid examples to light your path! Here's a mix of prompt ideas to spark your creativity.

🔧 For each prompt, simply fill in the placeholders with specifics from your own business.

💡 For example, in the first prompt, you'd replace the [subject] with a detailed description of your product. So it could look like, "A gourmet cheeseburger with onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles..." or "a fluted crystal decanter with a luxurious amber liquid inside it".
