Best Practices

• •Know Your Roots, Tell Your Story: Always weave in the authentic connection to creativity, art, and/or skate culture, depending on the product or message. Remind your audience of the "why" behind Arts-Rec.
• •Speak to Your Communities: Tailor the language slightly for different segments (e.g., the "creative life" shopper vs. the dedicated "skate enthusiast") while maintaining core values. Understand the slang and cultural references relevant to the skate community if targeting them, but keep broader lifestyle content accessible.
• •Embrace Visual Language: Use evocative words that paint a picture, mirroring the artistic and vibrant nature of the products and the energy of the skate scene. Think "spark," "ignite," "curate," "vibrant," "authentic."
• •Be Inclusive and Inviting: While having a "cool" factor, ensure the tone doesn't become exclusionary. Emphasize community, welcome, and the joy of discovery for everyone.
• •Stay Current but Timeless: Keep up with trends in design, art, and skate culture, but ground the messaging in core values like quality, creativity, and community, which have lasting appeal. Use hashtags effectively to tap into relevant conversations.
