Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Enthusiast" Voice: Write as if you're a knowledgeable friend who is genuinely excited about the products and the culture. Use language that reflects passion (e.g., "incredible," "game-changer," "you'll love this") but avoid excessive hype.
• •Balance "Boutique" with "Approachable": While highlighting the artistic and "heady" nature of products, ensure the language remains understandable and welcoming, not alienating. The "Cheers!" and "You betcha" casualness from the FAQ is a good example.
• •Visually Reinforce the Tone: Ensure photography and videography on social media and the website match the "modern," "artistic," and "cultured" tone. High-quality, well-lit shots of products, perhaps in lifestyle settings that evoke the "adventurous cannabis culture."
• •Educate & Inspire Through Content: Continue developing blog and social media content that offers value beyond just selling – how-to guides, artist spotlights, cultural discussions. This reinforces the "journal" aspect and passion for the community.
• •Maintain Discretion in Communication (Where Appropriate): While being open about products, always be mindful of the need for discretion that many customers value, as highlighted in their shipping policy and customer feedback. This builds trust and aligns with a key customer expectation.
