• •Embrace the 'Pen Geek' Persona: Write as if you're talking to a fellow enthusiast. Use language that conveys genuine excitement and deep knowledge without being condescending. Share interesting details and 'nerd out' a bit.
• •Prioritize Helpfulness and Expertise: Always aim to provide value. Whether it's a product description, blog post, or social media reply, offer useful information, tips, or insights. Back up claims with your expert knowledge.
• •Keep it Friendly and Approachable: Use a conversational style. Don't be afraid of contractions or a touch of humor where appropriate. Address the customer directly and invite interaction.
• •Be Inclusive ('No Pen Snobbery'): Ensure your copy appeals to everyone, from beginners with their first fountain pen to seasoned collectors. Highlight the joy of writing, regardless of the pen's price tag.
• •Maintain Enthusiasm Across All Channels: Whether it's a witty tweet, an in-depth blog post, or a friendly customer service email, the underlying passion for pens and commitment to the customer should shine through consistently.
