• •Celebration of Uniqueness & Individuality
• •Community & Connection
• •Inclusivity & Acceptance
• •Authenticity & Quality

Best Practices

• •Embrace Thematic Language: Consistently use words and phrases associated with the macabre, alternative, and artisan communities (e.g., "unearth," "occult," "handcrafted," "eerie," "coven," "spooky," "dark," "oddities").
• •Inject Personality & Enthusiasm: Let the passion for the niche shine through. Use exclamation points where appropriate, ask engaging questions, and don't be afraid of a bit of dark humor or playful edginess that aligns with the "macabre" theme.
• •Champion Your Artists & Community: Always highlight the "local artisans" and the "community" aspect. Use language that shows support, appreciation, and a collaborative spirit. Frame the market as a collective.
• •Stay Authentically Niche: Don't try to appeal to everyone. The brand's strength is its focus. The copy should speak directly to those who appreciate the "occult, oddity, esoteric, spiritual, punk, metal & celestial."
• •Maintain Inclusivity in Your Edge: While the theme is "macabre" and "dark," ensure the overarching tone remains welcoming and non-judgmental, reinforcing the idea that "all are welcome." This is a fine balance but crucial to their stated values.
