Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Chart: Clearly define adjectives that describe your brand's tone (e.g., "Sophisticated," "Edgy," "Curated," "Minimalist," "Forward-Thinking") and, importantly, adjectives that it is *not* (e.g., "Cheap," "Mass-Market," "Generic," "Loud"). Provide examples of "do" and "don't" phrasing.
• •Understand Your Audience Intimately: Create detailed customer personas for your fashion-conscious, style-savvy audience. Tailor the tone to resonate with their aspirations, vocabulary, and how they perceive luxury and exclusivity.
• •Prioritize Visual-Verbal Cohesion: Ensure the language used in copy perfectly complements the high-end, often artistic and minimalist imagery seen on DPTO's Instagram and website. The words should feel like an extension of the visual aesthetic.
• •Emphasize Exclusivity and Curation: Use language that highlights the selective nature of the products, the "discovery" aspect for the customer, and the unique vision behind the buying choices. Words like "curated," "handpicked," "exclusive," "limited," "edit," and "vision" can reinforce this.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Touchpoints: The sophisticated and curated tone should be evident everywhere, from website product descriptions and email newsletters to social media captions and even in-store signage or communication. Regular internal reviews and training can help maintain this consistency.
