Best Practices

• •Emphasize "Thoughtfulness" and "Curation": Consistently use words like "thoughtful," "curated," "hand-picked," and "special" to reinforce the brand's core value proposition. This reminds customers that items aren't just random products but carefully selected pieces.
• •Focus on the Giver and Receiver's Emotions: Frame copy around the joy of giving and the happiness of receiving. Use emotive language that speaks to creating memories, strengthening relationships, and brightening someone's day.
• •Maintain a Warm, Friendly, and Slightly Sophisticated Voice: Avoid overly casual slang but keep the language approachable and inviting, like advice from a trusted friend who has a knack for finding great gifts. Ensure grammar and spelling are impeccable to maintain a sense of quality and trustworthiness.
• •Highlight Solutions and Ease: Remind customers how Dear Cece makes gifting easier (e.g., "take the stress out of finding the perfect present," "your partner in gifting"). Promote services like the personal shopper to underscore helpfulness.
• •Be Consistent Across All Platforms: Whether it's a website product description, a social media caption, or an email newsletter, the tone should feel cohesive. Develop a simple brand style guide for reference.
