Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document key tone words (e.g., mystical, enchanting, romantic, empowering, whimsical), preferred vocabulary (e.g., 'sanctuary' instead of 'home,' 'talismans' instead of 'charms,' 'elixirs' instead of 'drinks'), and phrases to avoid.
• •Immerse in the Aesthetic: Regularly engage with the brand's own content, products, and community. Understand the nuances of the gothic, witchy, and alternative subcultures to ensure authenticity.
• •Storytelling over Hard Selling: Weave narratives and evoke emotions rather than just listing product features. Connect products to the values of self-expression, magic, and individuality.
• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language: Employ words that appeal to the senses and create a vivid atmosphere – 'velvet shadows,' 'moonlit whispers,' 'incense-laden air,' 'haunting melodies.'
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Platforms: Ensure the tone is recognizable whether it's a product description, a social media caption, an email, or an 'About Us' page, while adapting slightly for the specific medium (e.g., TikTok can be more playful, product descriptions more descriptive and romantic).
