Best Practices

• •Create a Tone of Voice Guide: Develop an internal document that explicitly defines the brand's voice—aspirational, sophisticated, chic—and provides clear examples of what to do and what to avoid. This ensures anyone writing for the brand, from social media managers to customer service agents, is aligned.
• •Focus on "The Sizzle, Not the Steak": Sell the feeling, not just the product. Instead of just listing features ("This dress is made of cotton"), describe the experience ("Feel the effortless drape of our breathable cotton as you move through your day with confidence and grace"). This aligns with the aspirational tone.
• •Speak Directly to Your Ideal Customer: Write every piece of copy as if you are speaking to the "driven, independent, urban woman" CICCIO targets. Use language and address pain points (e.g., needing versatile, stylish, yet comfortable clothes) that resonate specifically with her.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Touchpoints: The sophisticated tone used in an Instagram caption must carry through to email newsletters, website microcopy (like button text), and especially customer service responses. A cohesive tone builds trust and a stronger brand identity.
• •Use Imagery to Reinforce the Tone: The words and visuals must work together. Continue using high-quality, elegant, and aspirational photography. The copy should act as the voiceover to the visual story, enhancing the chic and sophisticated world that the images create.

Social Perception

Aspirational image online via stylish content and influencer associations, but customer service concerns (shipping, communication) detract from the premium perception.
