Brand Tone

Relatable, comforting, and whimsical, with a touch of witty, self-aware humor. The language is informal, inclusive, and gentle, speaking to the audience as a friend and fellow "homebody." It features a "cute and creepy" or "sweet and salty" duality, offering both comfort and a slight edge.

Brand Values

• •Authenticity and Self-Expression
• •Community
• •Comfort and Joy
• •Giving Back
• •Artisan and Small Business Support

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "And": Continue using structures that hold two ideas at once (e.g., "Anxious and Darling") to create relatable and nuanced messaging, validating complex feelings and strengthening community bonds.
• •Speak "To" Not "At": Always use a conversational, first-person plural ("we," "our") or second-person ("you," "your") voice. Use questions in social media captions to invite interaction and make the audience feel part of the "Darling Homebody" club.
• •Lead with Values: Weave brand values into the copy. For example, mention donations to animal shelters when launching pet-themed items, or link mental health products to authenticity and self-acceptance.
• •Keep it Gentle and Positive: Maintain an uplifting and validating tone, even when discussing topics like anxiety or tiredness. Avoid cynical or overly sarcastic language, as the brand's voice is gentle and sweet at its core.
• •Use a Consistent Lexicon: Regularly incorporate brand-associated keywords such as "darling," "homebody," "cozy," "friend," "club," and "community" to reinforce brand identity and ensure instant recognition.
