Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your tone (Expert, Passionate, Elegant, etc.), core values, preferred vocabulary (e.g., "timeless," "heritage," "craftsmanship" vs. more casual terms), and a "do's and don'ts" list for communication. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Prioritize Authenticity and Knowledge: Ensure all claims about historical periods, materials, and restoration are accurate. Let genuine expertise shine through. Avoid overly trendy slang that doesn't fit the brand's sophisticated image, unless strategically adapted for specific platforms like TikTok in a conscious way.
• •Tell the Story Behind the Piece: Antiques are more than just objects; they have histories. Weave narratives into product descriptions and posts – where it might have come from, the era it represents, the craftsmanship involved. This enhances the perceived value and emotional connection.
• •Maintain Visual-Textual Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy matches the style of the visuals. High-quality, elegant photography should be paired with equally refined and informative text. On platforms like TikTok, a more dynamic visual style can be paired with slightly more approachable but still respectful text.
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically audit your website copy, social media posts, and other communications to ensure they consistently reflect the desired brand tone and values. Adapt as needed, but always with the core identity in mind. For instance, while TikTok may use more casual language, the underlying respect for the antique should remain.
