Best Practices

• •Always Lead with the "Why": Remind the audience of the core mission – supporting individuals with developmental differences and fostering a community of purpose – in every relevant communication.
• •Use Warm, Inclusive, and Authentic Language: Maintain a friendly, genuine, and community-focused tone. Avoid overly corporate or impersonal jargon. Phrases like "our village," "our artisans," "made with love" resonate well.
• •Highlight the "Who" – The Artisans: Whenever possible, tell the stories of the individuals who create the products (while respecting privacy). This humanizes the brand and reinforces the impact of purchases.
• •Emphasize "Handcrafted" and "Ethical": These are key differentiators. Consistently use terms like "handcrafted," "artisan-made," "ethically sourced," "sustainably produced" to describe products and practices.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, the Impact: Instead of just saying "your purchase helps," briefly explain *how* it helps – e.g., "supports our craft workshops," "enables a life of opportunity," "funds our community programs." This creates a stronger emotional connection and demonstrates tangible value.
