What are product attributes?

Product attributes are the descriptors of a product. These can include color, weight, style, size, price, material and more. Product attributes can also include intangible, subjective descriptions. You may use internal product attributes, so employees can gain an understanding of the products they are working with. You have also likely encountered external product attributes; these are descriptions buyers use to make purchasing decisions, such as ecommerce descriptors, tags, and packaging.  

It is crucial to use consistent product attributes in your business management software so that you know what products you are dealing with. Product attributes should be detailed and accurate. The more products you have, the more specific attributes should be. Adding product attributes to multiple products can be a cumbersome process. It's best to look for a business system that will allow you to create attribute associations and add attributes automatically.
