Best Practices

• •Focus on "Show, Don't Just Tell": Instead of saying "our products are high quality," describe the full-grain leather, the hand-stitching process, and the patina it will develop. Let the details convey the quality.
• •Emphasize Durability and Longevity: Use words and phrases that suggest endurance, timelessness, and products built to last (e.g., "heirloom," "legacy," "companion for life," "ages beautifully").
• •Highlight the Human Element: Remind the audience that these are handmade items. Use terms like "handcrafted," "artisan-made," "workshop," and "craftsman" to reinforce the skill and care involved.
• •Be Authentic and Transparent: Speak honestly about materials and processes. Avoid overly salesy or gimmicky language. The tone should be confident but grounded.
• •Maintain a Consistent Vocabulary: Develop a list of on-brand words and phrases (e.g., "full-grain," "heritage," "enduring," "meticulous," "traditional," "Nelson, BC") and use them regularly across all communications to reinforce brand identity.
