Best Practices

• •Champion "Native" and "Local": Consistently use terms like "native," "indigenous," "local," and refer to specific regional connections (e.g., "Southeastern US," "Appalachian," "Blue Ridge Mountains") to reinforce their specialization and authentic connection to the area.
• •Share the Human Story: Emphasize the "family-owned" aspect. Use a collective voice ("we," "our") to create a personal connection. Referring to the owners or the nursery's history, when suitable, adds to the brand's authenticity.
• •Let Passion Shine Through: Use evocative and descriptive language that conveys a genuine love and respect for the plants and the natural world. Accompany text with high-quality imagery of the plants in their natural-looking environment.
• •Maintain Open and Honest Communication: Be transparent about seasonal availability, shipping considerations, and any challenges (like weather impacts). This builds trust and reflects the brand's genuine, down-to-earth character.
• •Focus on Customer Enablement and Gratitude: Frame communications to empower customers in their gardening endeavors. Proactively offer tips, share knowledge, and always express genuine appreciation for their business and shared passion for native plants.
