what do we do with this.
google counts it as a duplicate content.
Why do you think that? Duplicate content usually involves much larger chunks of text, not basic words and phrases. Now if you repeat certain words and phrases very frequently, especially in anchor text, you may be having trouble with the spam prevention parts of the algo, but not, in my opinion, duplicate content.
Google is counting the name & event name & show names and other most common phares as a duplicate content hence penalizing the pages.
experienced - It sounds like these common terms... like name, event name, show name, shapes, sizes, colors, for your target phrases.
If you have something like a catalog or event site, and these phrases are the only content on your pages, and many thousands of other catalog or event sites are using the same descriptions when targeting these phrases, then Google would see all these descriptions as duplicate content.
Similarly, if your own site targeted similar products where only one or two of the descriptive words changed, but all the rest was the same, then Google would also see this as duplicate content.
You've got to have other relevant content on your pages about the product or event so that your page is different from the many other pages that might target it. Good examples of such content... that can make one product page different from another... are the product reviews on Amazon.com, which are about the products but unique to Amazon.
