Brand Tone

aspirational, sophisticated, and minimalist

Brand Values

• •Quality & Craftsmanship
• •Minimalism & Aesthetics
• •Curation & Exclusivity
• •Functionality & Timelessness
• •Elevated Lifestyle

Best Practices

• •Lead with "Why": Start copy by explaining the purpose, beauty, or philosophy behind a product before listing its features. Focus on the feeling and lifestyle it enables (e.g., "Create a moment of calm..." instead of "Buy this candle").
• •Use a Refined Vocabulary: Employ elegant and evocative words (e.g., "curated," "sculptural," "timeless," "refined," "aesthetic") while avoiding overly casual language (e.g., "awesome," "cool," "gotta have it") or corporate jargon.
• •Embrace White Space: Just as the product designs are minimalist, the copy should be too. Use short sentences, concise paragraphs, and ample white space to create a reading experience that is clean and uncluttered.
• •Create a Tone of Voice Guide: Develop a simple internal document that outlines the brand's tone and values, providing do's and don'ts and approved brand terminology. This ensures anyone writing for the brand (web designers, marketers, customer service) remains consistent.
• •Focus on "You" (the customer), but from an expert perspective: Address the sophisticated customer directly (e.g., "Enhance your space..."), but maintain an expert, curatorial tone that guides their choices, reinforcing the brand's role as a trusted arbiter of taste.

Social Perception

Chestnut World's social perception is largely unformed due to a minimal online footprint. It can be seen positively as a 'hidden gem' or exclusive boutique, or negatively as lacking credibility due to no external validation. The perception is neutral-to-positive but fragile, relying entirely on the website's user experience.
