Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Style Guide: Document the key characteristics of your brand's tone (e.g., "Elegant," "Artisanal," "Heritage-Inspired," "Sophisticated," "Knowledgeable but not pretentious"). Include preferred vocabulary (e.g., "handcrafted," "bespoke," "antique," "timeless," "gilded") and words to avoid.
• •Emphasize Craftsmanship and Heritage: Consistently weave in language that highlights the handmade nature, the attention to detail, the inspiration from antique books, and the company's long-standing experience in your product descriptions, blog posts, and social media.
• •Use Evocative and Descriptive Language: Instead of just stating facts, use words that paint a picture and evoke the feeling of classic elegance and timelessness associated with the products. Focus on sensory details where appropriate (e.g., "aged leather look," "intricate gilding").
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure that the tone of the copy aligns with the visual presentation of the brand (e.g., elegant photography, classic fonts). The language should complement the high-quality, vintage aesthetic of the products themselves.
• •Educate and Inform with Sophistication: Share details about the process, the inspiration, or the historical context of book designs in a way that is informative and engaging, reinforcing the brand's expertise and passion without being overly academic or unapproachable.
