Best Practices

• •Always Write as Courtney (the Owner): Use "I," "me," and "my" to reinforce the personal, one-woman-show aspect. Share her voice directly.
• •Emphasize "Handmade" and "Small Business": Consistently weave these key attributes into product descriptions, social posts, and about sections. It reinforces core values and justifies the personal touch.
• •Keep it Friendly and Approachable: Use conversational language, emojis where appropriate (especially on social media), and address the audience directly and warmly (e.g., "Hey there!", "You'll love this!").
• •Connect with Relatable Themes: Continue to lean into the themes that resonate with her target audience (motherhood, teaching, local pride if applicable, seasonal joy). Share how the products fit into their lives.
• •Show Gratitude: Regularly thank customers for their support, emphasizing that they are supporting a real person and a small dream. This builds loyalty and reinforces the personal connection.

Social Perception

Customers likely perceive the brand as: Authentic and Genuine, Trustworthy (within its community), Relatable, Supportive of Small Business. There isn't evidence of a wider public perception beyond its immediate customer base and local community awareness (Shippensburg, PA).
