Mejores Prácticas

• •Prioritize Historical Accuracy: Always lead with facts. The brand's authority rests on its historical and technical correctness. Every description should be meticulously researched.
• •Use an Expert's Vocabulary: Employ specific terminology (e.g., "breech," "lock plate," "pommel," "provenance") correctly and without over-explanation. This reinforces the brand's expertise and respects the intelligence of the target audience.
• •Tell the Story, Sell the Artifact: Frame every item as a historical artifact first and a product second. Focus on its journey, its craftsmanship, and its place in time. The value is in the story.
• •Embrace the "Bumps and Scars": Continue the practice of being transparent about imperfections. This honesty is a cornerstone of the brand's stated values and a powerful tool for building trust. Use phrases like "honest wear," "original patina," and "age-commensurate condition."
• •Maintain a Formal and Respectful Voice: The subject matter is one of historical significance and craftsmanship. Avoid casual language, clichés, and high-pressure sales tactics. The tone should always be one of a knowledgeable curator guiding a visitor through a collection.

Percepción Social

The brand is perceived by its target audience (experienced collectors, historical enthusiasts, restorers) as a serious, trustworthy, and knowledgeable specialist dealer. Its professional presentation, detailed descriptions, emphasis on affordability, and transparency are highly valued, positioning it as a welcome and fair player in the niche market. The lack of social media is seen as a trait of a focused specialist prioritizing substance over broad marketing.
