Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the core characteristics of the gu-de tone (Sophisticated, Understated, Artistic, Confident, Approachable Luxury) with examples of 'do's and don'ts.' This guide should be accessible to anyone creating content.
• •Focus on 'Timeless' and 'Quality' Language: Consistently weave in words and phrases that evoke longevity, craftsmanship, and refined aesthetics (e.g., 'enduring,' 'meticulous,' 'classic silhouette,' 'premium leather,' 'thoughtfully designed').
• •Embrace Understatement: Avoid hyperbole, overly casual slang, or aggressive sales language. Let the quality and design of the products speak for themselves. The tone should be confident but not boastful.
• •Tell a Subtle Story: Hint at the inspiration behind designs (e.g., 'a nod to 70s charm,' 'vintage-inspired details') to add depth and connect with the brand's artistic values without being overt.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure that the copy always aligns with the sophisticated, minimalist, and curated visual identity of the brand across all platforms. The words should feel like a natural extension of the images.
