Brand Tone

Warm, authentic, creative, inviting, and playful.

Brand Values

• •Craftsmanship & Quality
• •Nature & Sustainability
• •Personalization & Connection
• •Community & Local Pride
• •Inclusivity

Best Practices

• •Lead with the "Why": Always start with the core values. Use words like "Handcrafted," "Personalized," "Nature-Inspired," and "Hudson Valley" to anchor the brand story in every piece of copy.
• •Tell a Story, Not Just a Spec: Instead of just listing features (e.g., "12-inch wood sign"), frame it with an emotional connection (e.g., "The perfect piece to welcome guests and make your house a home.").
• •Maintain a Warm and Personal Voice: Write as if you are speaking to a friend. Use contractions (e.g., "it's," "you'll") and address the customer directly ("for your home," "a gift for you"). This reinforces the small-studio, authentic feel.
• •Emphasize the Origin: Regularly mention the "Hudson Valley studio" and the "handcrafted" process. This is a key differentiator that builds trust and justifies the quality of the products.
• •Let Your Customers Speak: Incorporate customer testimonials and reviews into your marketing copy and social media posts. Phrases like "You loved it!" or sharing a positive review builds social proof and reinforces brand credibility.

Social Perception

Highly positive, built on product quality and customer service, with high customer satisfaction, trusted for gifts, good customer service, and strong association with the 'maker' movement.
