Brand Tone

Charming, Nostalgic, and Whimsical

Brand Values

• •Celebrating Childhood
• •Tradition and Timeless Style
• •Quality and Affordability
• •Family and Community
• •Sustainability

Best Practices

• •Emphasize the "Why," Not Just the "What": Connect every product to an experience, a memory, or a feeling, such as a perfect Easter portrait or a twirl that makes her feel like a princess.
• •Use Nostalgic and Evocative Language: Incorporate words like cherish, tradition, heirloom, timeless, magic, adventure, memories, sweet, and darling into copy across all platforms.
• •Speak the Language of Southern Hospitality: Maintain a warm, gracious, and slightly formal tone, addressing the audience directly with phrases like "Darling mamas" or "y'all" to create a personal connection.
• •Weave a Seasonal Narrative: Structure marketing campaigns and content around the seasons and holidays to align with the customer's primary reason for purchase.
• •Champion Your Community: Actively feature user-generated content (UGC) and tell the stories of brand representatives to validate the brand's community value and provide authentic social proof.
