Best Practices

• •Always Tell the Story: Every piece of copy, from a short tweet to a product description, should include a personal touch or the story behind the image. Share the feeling, the location, or the challenge overcome. This reinforces the personal and inspirational tone.
• •Use "Escape" and "Peace" as Keywords: Consistently use words like "peace," "balance," "tranquility," "escape," and "serenity." This aligns the copy directly with the brand's core value of providing a mental break from stress through art.
• •Connect to the Founder's Journey: Reference John's past as a busy professional who found solace in photography. This makes the brand relatable to a target audience of working professionals who may be seeking the same sense of calm.
• •Emphasize Quality and Craftsmanship: When describing products, go beyond the visual. Talk about the "fine art prints," the "vibrant colors," and the intention to create a lasting piece for a home or office, reinforcing the brand's position as a high-quality art provider.
• •Maintain a Personal and Reflective Voice: Write in the first person ("I") when sharing stories from the field. Address the audience directly ("you") when speaking about the benefits of the art. This creates a direct, personal connection between the artist and the customer, making the brand feel more authentic and less like a generic retailer.
