Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly document the brand's tone (e.g., professional yet approachable, aspirational, helpful), key messaging points, preferred terminology (and terms to avoid), and provide examples. This ensures anyone writing copy understands the desired voice.
• •Prioritize "Expert & Approachable": Always aim to sound knowledgeable and authoritative (showcasing expertise from the salon background) but without being intimidating. Use clear, accessible language, and explain benefits in a way that resonates with the customer's desire to "look and feel your best."
• •Infuse Luxury and Care: Consistently use descriptive language that evokes the quality of the products and the special experience Retail Box aims to provide (e.g., "curated," "exclusive," "beautifully packaged," "personalized touch").
• •Maintain a Consistent Call to Action (CTA) Style: Whether it's "Shop Now," "Discover More," or "Unlock Your Beauty," ensure CTAs are clear, encouraging, and aligned with the overall helpful and aspirational tone.
• •Review and Align Across All Channels: Regularly audit copy on the website, social media, emails, and ads to ensure consistency. What sounds good on a playful TikTok post might need slight adaptation for a more detailed product description on the website, but the core brand voice (professional, helpful, aspirational) should remain recognizable. Train any staff or agencies involved in content creation on these guidelines.
