Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Create a document outlining key tonal words (e.g., "welcoming," "spiritual," "positive," "guiding," "calm"), "words we use," and "words we avoid." Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Embody "Good Vibes": Ensure all copy, from product descriptions to social media replies, carries an undercurrent of positivity, encouragement, and warmth. Use uplifting language and affirmations where appropriate.
• •Focus on the "Soul" Aspect: Consistently tie products and services back to the idea of nurturing one's inner self, finding peace, and personal spiritual journeying. Use words like "soul," "spirit," "journey," "energy," and "well-being."
• •Be Informative but Approachable: When describing products like crystals or services like Reiki, provide enough information to be helpful and demonstrate knowledge, but maintain a friendly, non-intimidating tone that welcomes newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike.
• •Engage Authentically: Respond to comments and messages with genuine care and helpfulness. Mirror the positive and friendly interactions customers report having in-store in all online communications. This reinforces the perception of a knowledgeable and caring staff.
