Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Weave the founder's inspiration, the artisan's touch, and the "heirloom" quality into product descriptions, social media, and email marketing. Connect emotionally with the audience by sharing the "why" behind the brand.
• •Use Evocative & Sensory Language: Employ words that convey nostalgia, comfort, nature, and craftsmanship (e.g., "sun-drenched," "gentle touch," "whisper of vintage," "hand-stitched," "old-world feel").
• •Maintain an Authentic & Personal Voice: Write as if speaking from the heart, reflecting Kara Thoms Johnson's personal connection to the designs and values. Avoid overly corporate or trendy jargon.
• •Consistently Highlight Ethical & Sustainable Practices: Subtly integrate messaging about natural fibers, small-batch production, and the Bali artisan partnership into various communications. This reinforces core values and justifies the premium quality and price.
• •Ensure Visual & Textual Harmony: The copy should always align with the brand's visual aesthetic (natural, romantic, "prairie chic"). The words used should evoke the same feelings as the images on the website and social media.
