Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize "Curated Quality" and "Comfort": These are core differentiators. Use words like "handpicked," "selected," "quality," "artisanal" alongside "comfort," "wearable," "everyday luxury."
• •Maintain a Friendly and Welcoming Voice: Use approachable language. Address the customer directly (e.g., "you," "your"). Share enthusiasm and warmth, mirroring the praised in-store experience.
• •Highlight "Woman-Owned" and "Local Chicago" Aspects: Weave these identity points into stories and descriptions where appropriate. It fosters connection and resonates with customers who value supporting such businesses.
• •Tell the Story Behind Products/Designers: Briefly sharing details about the designers or the unique aspects of a product reinforces the "curated" feel and adds value beyond just the item itself.
• •Use Consistent Visuals and Language Across Platforms: Ensure that the aesthetic and tone on Instagram, Facebook, and the website are harmonious, reinforcing the brand's identity at every touchpoint. Visuals should be clean, stylish, and reflect the quality of the products.

Social Perception

A valued local boutique (a neighborhood gem) offering unique and high-quality items, a trusted source for shoes and accessories, with a friendly and welcoming staff, and a stylish and unique selection.
