Best Practices

• •Embrace the Lingo (Authentically): Use words and phrases like "groovy," "far out," "peace," "love," "vibe," "tribe," "soul," "free spirit" naturally within the copy. Avoid forcing it where it doesn't fit.
• •Focus on Feelings & Experiences: Connect products to the emotions and experiences they represent – freedom, joy, nostalgia, connection to music and nature.
• •Tell Your Story: Continuously weave in the brand's heritage, its journey from festivals to online, and its commitment to values like sustainability and fair trade. This builds authenticity.
• •Community First: Address your audience as part of a collective (e.g., "our tribe," "fellow free spirits"). Encourage interaction and sharing, fostering a sense of belonging.
• •Keep it Positive & Uplifting: The overall message should be optimistic, celebrating life, music, and connection, aligning with the core values of peace and happiness.

Social Perception

The brand has a loyal following that connects with its values and product style. Addressing concerns about quality control and international shipping costs could improve overall perception. The longevity of the business (since 1995) suggests a sustained appeal.
