Best Practices

• •Emphasize Storytelling: Briefly share the narrative behind the products – the maker, the materials, the inspiration, or the ethical practices. This reinforces the "thoughtful" and "artisanal" values.
• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language: Employ words that appeal to touch, sight, and emotion (e.g., "velvet-smooth," "hand-poured," "sun-drenched hues," "earthy aroma," "timeless design"). Avoid overly technical jargon or slang.
• •Maintain Visual Harmony: Ensure that the copy always complements the sophisticated and minimalist visual identity. The words should feel as curated as the products themselves.
• •Focus on "Why" Not Just "What": Instead of just describing a product, hint at how it enhances life, brings beauty, or embodies a value (e.g., "Create a sanctuary" rather than just "Sells candles and diffusers").
• •Be Authentic and Appreciative: In all communications, especially responses to customers, maintain a tone of genuine warmth, helpfulness, and appreciation. This reflects the "welcoming" and "community" aspects of the brand.
