Best Practices

• •Always anchor the copy in the brand's core values. Start with the story of craftsmanship, heritage, or artistry before moving to the product's features. The "why" is the artisan, the "what" is the shoe.
• •Employ words like "artisanal," "heritage," "legacy," "meticulous," "timeless," and "understated" to reinforce the brand's sophisticated tone. Avoid generic marketing slang or overly casual language.
• •Continue using both languages strategically. Use English for broad, international appeal and key marketing messages. Weave in Urdu phrases or script to reinforce authenticity, name collections, or connect on a deeper cultural level with the local audience.
• •Regularly feature the artisans (with their permission). Show their hands at work, share their stories, and credit them. This humanizes the brand, validates the "handcrafted" promise, and builds a powerful emotional connection that transcends product.
• •Ensure the copy's tone matches the visual aesthetic. If the photography is minimalist, clean, and warm, the text should be equally refined and uncluttered. Every post, ad, and product description should feel like it comes from the same thoughtful, single voice.
