Best Practices

• •Embrace NOLA Lingo (Authentically): Sprinkle in local phrases or references where appropriate (e.g., "Geaux," "darlin'," NOLA-specific events), but ensure it feels natural and not forced. This reinforces the local identity.
• •Keep it "Luxe for Less" Focused: Always subtly weave in the value proposition – that customers are getting something special and stylish without an exorbitant price tag. Use words like "treasure," "inspired," "chic find."
• •Inject Playfulness & Warmth: Use emoticons sparingly but effectively. Don't be afraid of a friendly exclamation mark or a slightly cheeky phrase. Share anecdotes, feature "Lucky Girl" the shop dog, and highlight the "Team MSP" personality.
• •Be Genuinely Helpful and Inviting: Frame copy around solving customer needs (e.g., finding the perfect gift, a pick-me-up). Language should always be approachable and encourage interaction or a visit.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, the Fun: When talking about events like "Sipping on Saturdays," use evocative language that conveys the enjoyable experience, not just the fact that it's happening. Focus on the feeling and the community aspect.
