Best Practices

• •Develop a Central Brand Voice Guide: Document the defined tone (Aspirational, Expert, Value-Transparent) with examples of "do's and don'ts" for all written communication.
• •Prioritize "Expert yet Accessible" Language: While showcasing expertise, avoid overly technical jargon that could alienate customers. Explain benefits clearly.
• •Emphasize Value Beyond Just Price: While price matching is key, also highlight the value of expertise, quality, Canadian craftsmanship, and the "wow" shopping experience.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Cohesion: Ensure that the sophisticated and aspirational imagery used on Instagram and the website is matched by equally polished and inspiring copy.
• •Address All Customer Feedback (if possible) with Professionalism: For public-facing responses to reviews (especially negative ones), maintain a professional, empathetic, and solution-oriented tone, reinforcing the commitment to customer satisfaction.

Social Perception

Seen by some as a source for beautiful, high-quality lighting and decor with knowledgeable staff. Aspirational Brand: The marketing and visual presentation position them as a go-to for those seeking to elevate their home's design. Established & Reputable (for some): Their long history, physical showroom, and professional accreditations lend them credibility.
