Best Practices

• •Lead with Passion and Purpose: Always weave in the "why" behind Millhaus – the love for sewing, the commitment to sustainability, and the joy of creating something beautiful and functional. Whether it's a product description or a social media update, let that genuine enthusiasm shine through.
• •Embrace Authenticity: Share the real stories – the founder's journey, the origin of a design, the challenges and triumphs of a small business. Use "I" and "we" to create a personal connection, especially from Emma's perspective on platforms like TikTok.
• •Highlight Craftsmanship and Sustainability in Tandem: Don't treat these as separate selling points. The beauty of Millhaus is how they intersect. For example, "This bag isn't just handcrafted; it's crafted with a conscience, using leather saved from landfills."
• •Maintain a Playful yet Professional Visual and Verbal Style: Use clear, good-quality visuals. The language should be warm, inviting, and can include a touch of humor or lightheartedness (especially on TikTok and Instagram), but always remain professional when discussing product quality, materials, and business practices.
• •Engage and Build Community: Respond to comments and messages with the same warmth and approachability conveyed in your posts. When promoting sewing classes or local events, emphasize the joy of shared creativity and connection. Use inclusive language.
