Mejores Prácticas

• •Lead with the Craft: Always emphasize the tactile and artisanal nature of your work. Use sensory words like "tactile," "impression," "debossed," "handcrafted," and "premium cotton paper" to differentiate the products from standard digital printing.
• •Segment Your Tone: Maintain your core values but adjust the tone for the audience. Use a professional, results-oriented voice ("Elevate Your Business," "Leave a Lasting Impression") for custom printing services. Adopt a more playful, witty, and casual voice ("Stick with us," "Puffin' Awesome") for retail products like stickers and greeting cards.
• •Anchor the Brand in Seattle: Continuously reinforce the local identity. Mention Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and the Pacific Northwest. This grounds the brand and creates a strong connection with both the local community and tourists looking for authentic souvenirs.
• •Tell the Story Behind the Product: Go beyond product descriptions. Share the history of the letterpress machines, introduce the team, or explain the creative process behind a new design. This builds a narrative that customers can connect with, turning a purchase into a patronage of the arts.
• •Use Collaborative and Empowering Language: Frame custom services as a partnership. Use phrases like "Let's bring your vision to life" and "Transform your ideas into reality" to make clients feel involved and empowered in the creative process. This aligns with the positive customer service perception the brand has already built.
