Brand Tone

Friendly and Approachable, Trendy and Fashion-Forward, Helpful and Service-Oriented, Playful and Relatable, Community-Focused

Brand Values

• •Customer Relationships: Building strong relationships with customers is a stated mission of the broader Hemline brand and is reflected in the Oxford store's personal approach. Owner Madison Smith mentioned that many customers have become great friends.
• •Quality and Uniqueness: The Hemline mission includes providing "high-quality, unique merchandise to the fashion-forward woman."
• •Style Diversity: Catering to "a fusion of all different styles" to suit the diverse Oxford community.
• •Accessible Fashion: Aiming to provide an "in-the-middle price range" particularly for college students, while still offering a range of sought-after brands.
• •Supportive Work Environment: The owner describes her employees as being "more like sisters rather than employees" and fosters a sense of equality in the workplace.

Best Practices

• •Stay Approachable and Conversational: Use "Hey y'all," contractions, and friendly questions to mirror how the staff speak in videos and to customers. Avoid overly formal language.
• •Highlight Trends with Enthusiasm: When introducing new items or brands, convey excitement and show how they fit into current fashion. Use positive and energetic adjectives.
• •Emphasize Personal Service: Regularly remind customers about styling assistance, DM shopping, and other personalized services. Frame these as helpful offerings, not just sales tactics.
• •Incorporate a Local Touch: Reference Oxford, Ole Miss events (like Rush or game days when relevant), and The Square to reinforce community connection.
• •Keep it Visually Connected: Ensure copy aligns with the visual style of the brand – chic, contemporary, and often featuring real people (staff/customers). The language should complement the aspirational yet achievable look of the clothing.
