Best Practices

• •Prioritize Authenticity in Language: Always use respectful and accurate terminology when referring to Native American cultures, artists, and art forms. Avoid generalizations or romanticizing. Focus on the genuine story behind each piece and artist.
• •Showcase the "Direct" Connection: Emphasize the direct sourcing from artists and Pueblos. Use phrases like "direct from the artist," "supporting Native craftsmen," "authentic Pueblo art" to reinforce this connection and the brand name.
• •Educate and Share Passion: Infuse copy with genuine enthusiasm for the art. Share details about techniques, materials, cultural significance (where appropriate and with permission/accuracy), and artist stories. This builds trust and positions the brand as knowledgeable.
• •Maintain a Friendly and Appreciative Voice: Address customers warmly, as "friends" or fellow appreciators of Native art. Express gratitude for their support of the artists and traditions. Ensure customer service interactions reflect this approach.
• •Be Transparent and Trustworthy: Clearly communicate guarantees, sourcing ethics, and product details. Honesty in descriptions and policies builds long-term customer loyalty and reinforces the established, reliable image.
