Best Practices

• •Always Center the "Maker": Whether it's a local artisan or the spirit of handmade creation, ensure the narrative consistently celebrates the people and the passion behind the products.
• •Embrace Warmth and Authenticity: Use friendly, approachable language. Share genuine stories about the products, the artists, or the shop's connection to Oakland. Avoid overly corporate or impersonal jargon.
• •Highlight Uniqueness and Curation: Emphasize what makes the boutique and its offerings special – the careful selection, the one-of-a-kind items, and the focus on independent design.
• •Incorporate Elements of Joy and Inspiration: Whether through product descriptions or social media captions, aim to evoke positive emotions. Share how items can bring beauty, comfort, or a spark of creativity to someone's life.
• •Weave in the "Magical" and "Empowering" (Subtly or Directly): When appropriate, especially for jewelry, wellness items, or crystals, introduce language that speaks to self-care, personal power, healing, and a touch of the mystical, reflecting the influence of Prism Jewels. Ensure this feels authentic to the product being described.
