Best Practices

• •Develop a Tone of Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of your brand's voice (e.g., friendly, enthusiastic, helpful, slightly playful with words like "nifty"). Provide examples of "do's and don'ts" for writers.
• •Use "You-Focused" Language: Frame copy around the customer's needs, desires, and how the products benefit them (e.g., "You'll find the perfect gift..." instead of "We sell many gifts."). This reinforces the customer-centric value.
• •Incorporate "Happy" and "Unique" Vocabulary: Consistently use words that evoke joy, discovery, and specialness, aligning with their core product offering (e.g., "delightful," "treasure," "special," "unique," "curated," "nifty," "joyful").
• •Maintain Enthusiasm Across Platforms: Whether it's a website banner, a social media caption, or an email, the underlying positive and enthusiastic energy should be palpable. Use exclamation marks judiciously to convey excitement.
• •Be Genuinely Helpful: Ensure all copy, especially in product descriptions, FAQs, and customer service interactions, is clear, informative, and anticipates customer questions. This builds trust and reflects their value of a seamless experience.
