Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Community: Weave in references to "Newtown," "Sandy Hook," "local," or "community spirit" wherever natural. This reinforces the core value of local connection.
• •Highlight Quality and Durability: Use descriptive words that convey the quality of materials and craftsmanship (e.g., "premium," "durable," "long-lasting," "carefully selected"). This builds trust and justifies the product.
• •Maintain a Friendly and Approachable Voice: Use "we" and "our" to create a personal connection. Keep language clear, welcoming, and avoid overly corporate jargon. Address the customer directly and warmly.
• •Showcase Customization and Service: Regularly remind customers of the custom design options, no minimums (where applicable), and the company's willingness to help with special requests or fundraisers. This highlights flexibility and customer focus.
