• •Cultural Diversity
• •Natural Materials
• •Artisan Support/Fair Trade
• •Uniqueness & Individuality

Best Practices

• •Emphasize Origin & Craftsmanship: Always highlight where products come from and the skills involved in their creation. Use evocative language that transports the customer.
• •Tell a Story: Frame products not just as items, but as carriers of cultural heritage and artisan stories. What makes this piece special? Who made it? What tradition does it represent?
• •Use Warm, Sensory Language: Appeal to the senses by describing textures, colors, and the feel of natural materials. Words like "hand-spun," "earthy," "vibrant," "intricate," and "timeless" fit well.
• •Maintain Visual-Textual Harmony: Ensure that the copy complements the rich, colorful, and authentic visuals used in marketing materials and on the website. The tone of the text should match the tone of the images.
• •Be Respectful & Appreciative: When discussing cultural origins, maintain a tone of deep respect and genuine appreciation. Avoid cultural appropriation and focus on celebrating and supporting the artisans and their traditions. Ensure claims of "fair trade" or "artisan support" are genuine and transparently communicated where possible.
