Brand Tone

Aspirational Tone: Friendly, encouraging, therapeutic, creative, accessible, supportive.

Brand Values

• •Enjoyment and Accessibility: Making crochet a pleasant and easy hobby for everyone.
• •Quality: Providing premium products and tools.
• •Customer Satisfaction: Striving for an exceptional shopping experience and good service.
• •Creativity and Therapy: Highlighting crochet as a means for creative expression and stress relief/healing.

Best Practices

• •Emphasize Genuine Benefits & Solutions: Focus copy on how products genuinely solve a problem (e.g., "makes holding tension 100x easier," "reduce hand cramps") or enhance the user's experience (e.g., "enjoyable and accessible," "creative visions to life"). Be specific and relatable.
• •Maintain an Encouraging and Supportive Voice: Use words that uplift and empower crafters, especially beginners (e.g., "learn," "discover the joy," "your journey starts here"). This aligns with the "cure" aspect of the brand name, positioning crochet as a positive activity.
• •Be Transparent and Clear, Especially with Promotions: If offering "free" items, clearly state any conditions (like "just cover shipping") upfront and ensure the value proposition is fair to avoid perceptions of it being a scam. Address shipping times honestly. This builds trust, which seems to be an issue.
• •Showcase Authenticity and Customer Stories (Carefully): While the "Erin" story is a good example of connecting emotionally, ensure all testimonials and stories featured are verifiable and reflect genuine positive experiences to counterbalance negative reviews. Highlight the "why" behind the brand – the love of crochet and desire to share it.
• •Foster a Community Feel: Use inclusive language ("fellow crocheters," "our community"). Encourage sharing of projects and experiences. This can be done effectively on platforms like TikTok. This aligns with the idea of crochet being a shared passion and can help build loyalty beyond just transactional relationships.

Social Perception

Dichotomous Perception: Positive View: Followers on TikTok and some customers see it as a source for useful crochet tools, kits, and inspiration. Negative View: A vocal segment, particularly on Reddit and review sites, perceives the brand as potentially untrustworthy or a "scam," citing issues with orders, customer service, and product value.
