Selling an Unfamiliar Fruit Character Without Renaming It

When a buyer does not recognise a fruit name, add a plain visual explanation rather than replacing it with a more familiar but inaccurate fruit. Fig, guava and loquat references are useful tests of that approach.

Pair the name with the visible feature

Keep the established product name and add a short description of the outline, colour or accessory actually shown. For the loquat reference, the glasses belong in the explanation. Avoid inventing regional names or botanical information just to make the listing sound authoritative.

Test the caption with a new reader

Show a colleague the image and caption without the rest of the catalogue. Ask which product they would select from a contact sheet. If the wording points to several candidates, add the reference code or a clearer thumbnail.

For translations, retain the original product reference alongside the translated name. That stable link is more useful to an order discussion than a clever nickname that changes between languages.
