Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of your tone (e.g., warm, understated, authentic), provide examples of "do's and don'ts," and list keywords or phrases that align with the brand. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Focus on "Why" Not Just "What": Instead of only describing product features, infuse your copy with the values and lifestyle the brand represents. Explain *why* a piece is special, how it makes you *feel*, or the kind of moments it's designed for. Willa and Belle does this well by connecting items to comfort, timelessness, and simple pleasures.
• •Use Storytelling: Weave narratives into your product descriptions, social media posts, and "About Us" page. Share the inspiration behind a collection, the story of how an item is made, or how customers are enjoying your products. This builds connection and reinforces brand personality.
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Ensure that the tone of voice used on your website, social media captions, email marketing, and even customer service interactions is harmonious. This builds a cohesive and recognizable brand identity.
• •Listen to Your Audience and Engage Authentically: Pay attention to how your customers talk about your brand and products. Use their language (if appropriate) and respond to comments and messages in a way that reflects your established brand tone. Authentic engagement reinforces the personal and approachable aspects of Willa and Belle.

Social Perception

A source for high-quality, unique, and timeless clothing and lifestyle pieces. A brand with a distinct and appealing aesthetic that resonates with those who appreciate understated elegance and a touch of bohemian or rustic charm. Trustworthy, with good customer service and reliable product quality. A small, perhaps more personal business, which adds to its charm for many customers. A brand that represents a desirable, slightly aspirational yet achievable lifestyle focused on comfort, beauty, and simplicity.
