Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key attributes of your brand voice (Conscious, Inspiring, Authentic) with examples of do's and don'ts. This ensures anyone writing for the brand understands the desired tone.
• •Focus on "Why," Not Just "What": In product descriptions and marketing materials, always connect the product back to the brand's core values. Explain *why* it's ethically sourced, *why* it's sustainable, and the *impact* the customer's purchase makes.
• •Use Value-Laden Language: Incorporate words and phrases that resonate with your core values consistently. Terms like "conscious," "sustainable," "ethically sourced," "handcrafted," "fair trade," "eco-friendly," "empower," "support," and "mindful" reinforce the brand's identity.
• •Maintain Authenticity and Transparency: Avoid exaggerated claims or greenwashing. Be honest about your sourcing, materials, and the impact of your products. If there are challenges or areas for improvement, acknowledging them (when appropriate) can build trust.
• •Educate and Inspire: Use your copy not just to sell, but to educate your audience about the importance of ethical consumption and sustainability. Share stories about your artisans or the positive impact of fair trade. Inspire them to be part of a larger movement for good.
