Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Internally document the defined tone (Expert, Curated, Sophisticated, Professional, Trustworthy, Approachable within its niche) with examples of 'do's and don'ts' for language, terminology, and style. This ensures anyone writing copy understands the desired voice.
• •Prioritize Accuracy and Detail: Given the nature of collectibles, ensure all product descriptions and communications are meticulously researched, factually correct, and provide as much detail as possible regarding provenance, condition, and designer/artist information. This reinforces expertise and trustworthiness.
• •Use Sophisticated and Precise Language: Employ vocabulary that reflects the art and design world. Avoid overly casual slang or generic marketing buzzwords. Focus on descriptive and evocative language that highlights the unique qualities of each piece.
• •Maintain Visual Consistency: Ensure that the visual elements (photography, website design, social media graphics) align with the sophisticated and curated tone of the copy. High-quality, well-lit photography is crucial for showcasing the items.
• •Educate and Inform, Don't Just Sell: Frame communications not just as sales pitches, but as opportunities to share knowledge about design history, artists, and the intrinsic value of the items. This builds authority and appeals to a knowledgeable clientele. Content like blog posts (if feasible), detailed artist bios, or style guides can support this.
