Best Practices

• •Always use language that is respectful, devout, and earnest. Avoid overly casual slang or corporate jargon. The voice should consistently reflect that the work is a ministry, not just a business.
• •Frame products not just as merchandise, but as tools for faith development. Use words like "nourish", "deepen", "inspire", and "guide" to connect products to the customer's spiritual journey.
• •Use terminology and refer to traditions that are familiar to a Catholic audience (e.g., "sacramentals", "devotionals", "liturgical seasons"). This builds authenticity and trust with the core customer base.
• •Consistently mention the staff's readiness to help and their expertise. This reinforces the value of personal, knowledgeable service that customers may not find in mainstream bookstores or online retailers.
• •Regularly mention the store's long history in Kelowna and its local ownership. This builds a sense of stability, reliability, and connection to place, which is a key differentiator.

Social Perception

Perceived as a trusted niche provider and community pillar for its target audience due to its longevity and specialized offerings. It is seen as traditional and unplugged, focusing on authentic, offline community engagement rather than modern digital presence.
