Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Austin Eclectic": Infuse your copy with a sense of warmth, creativity, and the unique blend of laid-back and lively that defines Austin. Use friendly, approachable language.
• •Highlight the "Curated" Aspect: Consistently remind customers that items are handpicked, special, and not just another mass-market product. Use words like "discovered," "hand-selected," "unique find," "curated collection."
• •Speak Like a Passionate Friend: Write as if you're enthusiastically recommending a great find to a friend. Let your genuine appreciation for the products and the Austin lifestyle shine through.
• •Focus on the Feeling: Describe how products make you feel or the atmosphere they create (e.g., "cozy," "joyful," "stylish," "a touch of sunshine"). Connect items to experiences and emotions.
• •Visual Storytelling Harmony: Ensure your copy always complements your visuals. If the image is bright and cheerful, the copy should match. If it’s more serene and stylish, the words should reflect that, all while staying within the overarching friendly and curated brand voice.
