Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your tone (e.g., adventurous, authentic, personal), provide examples of do's and don'ts, and list preferred terminology (e.g., "adventure" vs. "trip," "handcrafted" vs. "produced").
• •Focus on Storytelling: Share the inspiration behind products, the craftsmanship involved, or how items connect to the experience of visiting National Parks. Use evocative language that paints a picture of adventure and memory-making.
• •Emphasize Core Values: Consistently weave in values like "Made in USA," "handcrafted," "personalized," "support for National Parks," and "Leave No Trace" ethics into product descriptions, social media, and marketing materials.
• •Speak Directly to Your Audience: Use "you" and "your" to create a personal connection. Understand their passion for National Parks and the outdoors, and reflect that understanding in your language. Address them as fellow adventurers.
• •Maintain Authenticity and Transparency: Be genuine in your passion for the parks and your products. If you're donating a portion of profits, be clear about it. If items are handmade, highlight the care and attention that goes into them. Avoid overly corporate or generic language.
