• •Maintain a Friendly, Conversational Voice: Use warm, inviting language. Address the customer directly (e.g., "your garden," "we're here to help you"). Avoid overly formal or corporate jargon.

• •Be Solution-Oriented and Helpful: Frame product descriptions and advice around solving customer needs or making their gardening and home life easier and more enjoyable.
