Brand Values

• •Craftsmanship
• •Uniqueness & Individuality
• •Natural Materials & Processes
• •Beauty in Simplicity
• •Passion & Dedication
• •Connection & Community

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document key characteristics of your tone (e.g., "warm, not overly casual," "descriptive, not technical," "passionate, not boastful") and share it with anyone creating content. Include preferred vocabulary and phrases to avoid.
• •Focus on Storytelling: Share the "why" behind your brand and products. Talk about the inspiration, the process, and the maker's journey. This naturally infuses authenticity and passion.
• •Emphasize the "Handmade" Aspect: Consistently highlight the unique, artisanal nature of the products. Use words like "handcrafted," "artisan-made," "unique," "one-of-a-kind," "small batch."
• •Speak Directly to Your Ideal Customer: Understand who you are talking to – someone who appreciates craft, quality, and authenticity. Use language that resonates with their values and interests. For L'Atelier de Melin, this means avoiding overly corporate or mass-market language.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure that the tone used on your website, social media, email marketing, and even in-person interactions (like at markets) is aligned. Review content regularly to check for consistency.
