Best Practices

• •Highlight "American Made" and Artisan Quality: Consistently mention the origin of products, focusing on American craftsmanship and the support of small businesses and makers.
• •Use Warm, Authentic, and Inviting Language: Mirror the welcoming in-store experience in your online communication. Phrases like "come sit a spell" or sharing the owners' passion directly can achieve this.
• •Balance Vintage Appeal with Modern Sensibility: Speak to the nostalgia and history of items while also highlighting their relevance and style in a contemporary "urban Western" context.
