Best Practices

• •Embrace the Nerd: Don't shy away from fandom references, inside jokes (where appropriate for the broad audience), and enthusiastic language that resonates with a passionate, nerdy clientele. Use terminology that fans of specific genres will recognize and appreciate.
• •Keep it Community-Centric: Address your audience directly and inclusively (e.g., "BKL Fam," "Fellow Nerds," "Bees"). Encourage interaction, ask questions, and feature user-generated content. Make them feel part of an exclusive, knowledgeable club.
• •Inject Whimsy and Creativity: Use vivid, imaginative language to describe colors and effects. Tell a mini-story with your product descriptions that ties into the inspiration. Let the passion for the creative process shine through.
• •Maintain Authenticity & Approachability: While professional, avoid overly corporate or stiff language. Let the owner's personality (Sarah's passion and nerdiness) subtly influence the overall voice. Be transparent and genuine in communications.
• •Be Visually Cohesive: Ensure the tone of the copy aligns with the visual presentation on Instagram, the website, and other platforms. The imagery should reinforce the creativity, fandom focus, and quality of the lacquers. Captions should enhance the visuals, not just describe them.
