Best Practices

• •Embrace Nostalgic Storytelling: Frame product descriptions and social media posts with narratives that evoke fond memories, traditions, and the charm of bygone eras, aligning with the New England heritage.
• •Maintain Visual & Verbal Consistency: Ensure all copy, from website descriptions to social media captions, uses warm, inviting, and slightly whimsical language that complements the idyllic and high-quality photography. Use recurring motifs like "cozy," "timeless," "adventure," and "tradition."
• •Highlight "American Made" & Quality Craftsmanship: Consistently weave in the value of local production and the quality of materials, reinforcing the brand's commitment to heritage and durability.
• •Focus on Lifestyle, Not Just Product: Sell the dream. Connect products to the idealized New England experiences, family moments, and seasonal beauty that the brand embodies. Show how KJP items fit into this aspirational life.
• •Engage with a Personal, Cheerful Voice (Even if Curated): Respond to comments and craft captions with a friendly, approachable, and consistently positive tone. Share glimpses of "behind-the-scenes" or family life (however stylized) to foster a sense of connection. Avoid overly formal or overtly "salesy" language; let the lifestyle sell the product.

Social Perception

The brand evokes strong reactions. It's a brand people either seem to love for its idyllic charm and classic aesthetic, or critique for its curated nature and perceived lack of inclusivity. Despite criticism, the brand maintains a loyal following and is recognized for powerful social media marketing and building a strong lifestyle brand.
