Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the identified tone (Artisanal, Earthy, Elegant, Personal, Calm), key messaging points, words to use, and words to avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Focus on Storytelling: Share the narrative behind the brand, the maker's journey, the inspiration for collections, or the process of creating each piece. This reinforces authenticity and passion.
• •Use Sensory and Evocative Language: Describe the feel of the clay, the beauty of the glazes, the way a piece can transform a space. Words like "hand-shaped," "earthy," "organic," "serene," "unique," and "mindfully crafted" will resonate.
• •Emphasize Uniqueness and Craftsmanship: Consistently highlight that items are handmade, one-of-a-kind, or small-batch. Explain what makes them special compared to mass-produced alternatives.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the copywriting style aligns with the visual identity (website design, photography). If the visuals are minimalist and natural, the copy should be too – clear, concise, and genuine, avoiding overly technical jargon or aggressive sales language. Keep it elegant and heartfelt.
