Best Practices

• •Speak the Language of Makers: Use terminology and address pain points that resonate with woodworkers, DIYers, and other hands-on creators (e.g., "tear-out," "clogging," "smooth finish," "grain"). Show you understand their world.
• •Focus on Solutions and Benefits, Not Just Features: Instead of just saying "film-backed," explain why that's better (e.g., "Our film backing means it won't tear like paper, even on edges and corners").
• •Be Confident but Authentic: Make strong claims about product performance backed by the product's quality and customer experiences. Avoid overly salesy or exaggerated language that could undermine the authenticity established by the founder's story.
• •Incorporate User Stories and Testimonials (Subtly or Directly): Weave in the experiences of satisfied customers to reinforce credibility and build community. Phrases like "Makers like you have found..." or showcasing project photos can be effective.
• •Maintain a "Seriously" Professional yet Relatable Voice: The name "SERIOUS GRIT" sets a tone that is professional and focused on performance. However, the "by a maker, for makers" origin allows for a relatable, down-to-earth approach. Avoid overly casual slang but don’t be afraid to show passion for the craft.
