Brand Tone

Warm and Inviting, Artisanal and Passionate, Playful and Humorous, Sophisticated yet Accessible, Conscious and Caring.

Brand Values

• •Quality Craftsmanship: Dedication to handmade, hand-poured candles in small batches using high-quality soy wax and premium fragrance oils.
• •Eco-Consciousness & Health: Commitment to using natural soy wax, which is biodegradable, clean-burning, and a renewable resource, positioning their products as a healthier alternative to paraffin.
• •Customer Experience & Personalization: Focus on creating a delightful sensory experience and offering unique, customizable (often humorous) products that resonate personally with customers and make great gifts.
• •Joy and Positivity: Aiming to illuminate lives and make homes and special occasions unique through their fragrances and messages.
• •Authenticity: Being transparent about their Miami Beach origins and the passion behind the brand.

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly define your tone (e.g., Warm, Artisanal, Playful, Conscious), list keywords and phrases that align with it, and note any to avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to. Tailor the humor, sophistication, and warmth to resonate with their preferences and how they communicate. For Mint Sugar, this means balancing the fun, gift-oriented messaging with the quality and eco-conscious aspects.
• •Weave in Your Values: Consistently reference what makes Mint Sugar Candle special – handmade, soy wax, eco-friendly, Miami-based, passion-driven. This reinforces brand identity and builds trust.
• •Be Authentic and Human: Let the passion of the founder and the artisanal nature shine through. Use storytelling (like Darya's journey or the candle-making process) to connect on a more personal level. Share customer stories and testimonials.
• •Maintain Consistency Across Platforms, With Nuance: While the core tone should remain, adapt the style slightly for each platform. Instagram might be more visual and aspirational, TikTok more informal and trend-driven, and product descriptions more detailed but still infused with brand personality. The playful humor should be a consistent thread where appropriate.

Social Perception

Seen as a provider of high-quality, beautifully scented, and aesthetically pleasing home fragrance products. The handmade, artisanal aspect is well-received and adds to their appeal. The eco-friendly and non-toxic properties of their soy candles are a significant draw for health-conscious consumers. The unique selling proposition of candles with witty, personalized, and sometimes audacious messages makes them popular for gifts and adds a distinct personality to the brand. Customers appreciate the variety of scents and the long burn times.
