Best Practices

• •Embrace the Founder's Voice: Channel Jon Terzini's passion for travel, art, and local spots. Use 'I' and 'we' to maintain a personal, approachable feel.
• •Inject Humor and Quirkiness: Don't be afraid to be playful, witty, or even a little sarcastic (like the 1-star review campaign). Keep it lighthearted and fun.
• •Tell the Story Behind the Design: Every piece has an inspiration. Share snippets of the travel, the sketch, or the local insight that led to the design. This reinforces originality and connection.
• •Focus on Community and Connection: Use language that invites interaction, celebrates shared experiences, and emphasizes the idea of belonging and pride in one's roots.
• •Stay Authentic and Original: Avoid generic marketing speak. Use descriptive, evocative language that highlights the hand-crafted nature and unique artistic style of the apparel. Emphasize that these aren't mass-produced souvenirs.
