Best Practices

• •Create a "Voice & Tone" Style Guide: Document key characteristics of the Little Darcy voice (e.g., charming, whimsical, quality-focused, friendly, nostalgic). Include preferred vocabulary (e.g., "little ones," "adventures," "wonder," "cherished") and phrases to avoid (e.g., overly technical jargon, slang that doesn't fit the classic feel).
• •Focus on Storytelling: Instead of just listing product features, weave narratives around the items. How will this product enhance a child's day, spark their imagination, or become a treasured memory? This naturally lends itself to a more whimsical and engaging tone.
• •Emphasize Quality and Craftsmanship with Warmth: When highlighting the quality of materials or design, do so in a way that feels caring and reassuring, rather than clinical. For example, "Crafted from the softest Merino wool, to keep your little one snug and happy," rather than just "100% Merino wool."
• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language: Appeal to the senses with descriptive words that create a feeling of charm and delight (e.g., "silky-soft," "gentle hues," "sparkling eyes," "sweet giggles," "cosy comfort").
• •Maintain Visual and Verbal Consistency: Ensure the language used in captions, product descriptions, and all communications aligns with the soft, classic, and gentle aesthetic of the brand's photography and visual identity. This synergy reinforces the overall brand perception.
