Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience, Speak Their Language: Understand who you're talking to. Use language that resonates with DIY enthusiasts, people looking for fun local activities, and those planning group events. Keep it accessible and avoid overly technical jargon.
• •Emphasize the "Experience": It's not just about the finished product, but the fun, social, and rewarding experience of creating it. Copy should reflect this joy, sense of accomplishment, and the friendly atmosphere. Use words like "fun," "create," "inspire," "together," "celebrate," "discover."
• •Be Genuinely Enthusiastic and Positive: Let your passion for DIY and creativity shine through. Use exclamation points appropriately, share positive customer stories (with permission), and maintain an upbeat, encouraging tone.
• •Stay Helpful and Guiding: Reassure potential customers that no prior experience is needed. Highlight the support they'll receive from instructors. Make instructions clear and easy to understand for promotions or take-home kits.
• •Maintain Visual and Verbal Consistency: Ensure the tone of your written copy aligns with your visual branding (photos, videos, website design). If your images show happy, engaged people, your words should echo that warmth and energy. Review copy across all platforms (website, social media, emails, ads) to ensure it sounds like it's coming from the same friendly, creative source.
