Best Practices

• •Lead with the Founder's Voice: Continue to leverage "Gin" as the personal, authentic voice of the brand. Sign off emails and write blog posts from her perspective to maintain that crucial personal connection.
• •Champion Your Community: Make user-generated content a cornerstone of your content strategy. Always write about your customers' creations with excitement and admiration. Use terms like "NailCrest Family" to reinforce a sense of belonging.
• •Balance "Why" with "How": In your copy, always connect the product's features ("what" it is) to the customer's benefit ("why" they need it). For example, "Our three-layer wrap (the 'what') means your manicure stays flawless for up to 4 weeks (the 'why')."
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Position the brand as a helpful resource. Create copy for tutorials, blog posts, and tips that answer customer questions. This builds trust and reinforces your "Expert" status.
• •Maintain a Consistent Lexicon: Create a list of on-brand words. Use positive, engaging terms ("gorgeous," "flawless," "obsessed," "love") alongside confident, quality-focused words ("engineered," "studio-quality," "durable," "innovative"). This ensures the "Approachable Expert" tone is present in every piece of communication.
