Best Practices

• •Prioritize Conciseness and Clarity: Use direct language. Avoid jargon, excessive adjectives, or overly casual slang. Let the product and visuals speak.
• •Maintain an Understated Confidence: The copy should feel assured but not arrogant. Focus on the inherent quality and design rather than overt selling.
• •Emphasize Visual Storytelling: Ensure copy complements the strong visual identity. Use words to enhance the mood and aesthetic established by images and design.
• •Incorporate Core Values Subtly: Weave in concepts like "timeless," "functional," "refined," and "considered design" naturally within product descriptions and brand narratives rather than stating them overtly as claims.
• •Develop a Brand Lexicon: Create a list of preferred (and discouraged) words and phrases that align with the minimalist, artistic, and refined tone. This helps ensure consistency across all writers and platforms. For example, prefer "silhouette" over "shape," "materiality" over "fabric," "considered" over "thoughtful."
