Best Practices

• •Develop a Comprehensive Tone of Voice Guide: Document the defined brand tones (Aspirational, Sophisticated, Educational, Passionate, Approachable, Humorous/Witty in moderation, Intentional, Curated) with clear examples of do's and don'ts. This guide should be the go-to resource for anyone creating content for AltVibes.
• •Always Prioritize Value and Education: Even when being aspirational or sophisticated, ensure the copy provides tangible value to the customer. Explain the "why" behind a product's quality, design, or a brand's story. This reinforces the "educational" and "customer-centric" aspects of the tone.
• •Balance Premium with Relatability: While showcasing luxury and high-quality items, maintain an approachable and sometimes humorous voice to avoid sounding elitist or unapproachable. Share the "startup adventure" and the human element behind the brand.
• •Tell Stories, Don't Just List Features: Focus on the experience a product enables or the lifestyle it enhances. Weave narratives around the craftsmanship, the origin of the design, or how an item can transform a customer's home or routine. This taps into the "passionate," "aspirational," and "curated experiences" values.
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically review all customer-facing copy (website, social media, emails, ads) to ensure it aligns with the defined brand tone and values. Gather feedback and make adjustments as the brand evolves, always checking for consistency across all platforms.
