Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize 'Handcrafted' and 'Artisanal': Consistently use terms that highlight the quality and special nature of your products (e.g., handcrafted chocolates, artisan gifts, locally made). This reinforces the brand's commitment to craftsmanship.
• •Maintain a Warm, Friendly, and Personal Voice: Write as if you're speaking to a neighbor or a friend. Use welcoming language and express genuine care for the customer's needs. Referencing the family ran aspect can enhance this.
• •Highlight Customer Service and Community Connection: Regularly mention the helpful staff, the positive shopping experience, and the store's long-standing presence in Los Altos. This builds trust and local appeal.
• •Focus on the Joy of Gifting and Treating: Frame products not just as items, but as ways to celebrate, show appreciation, or indulge in a moment of happiness. Use evocative language that appeals to emotions. (e.g., thoughtful gifts, delicious treat, perfect gift basket).
• •Keep it Classic and Quality-Driven: While friendly, avoid overly casual slang or trends that might not align with a brand that has a 35+ year history and focuses on fine or specialty items. The tone should reflect enduring quality and taste.
