Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document STEL's tone (elegant, conscious, aspirational, calm), core values, key messaging points, and even a "words we use/don't use" list. This ensures anyone writing for the brand speaks with one voice.
• •Focus on "Why" Not Just "What": Instead of only describing a product's features, explain *why* it aligns with STEL's values (e.g., "Crafted from sustainably sourced oak, this table isn't just furniture, it's a commitment to conscious living.").
• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language (Subtly): Appeal to the feeling the products and brand evoke – serenity, harmony, quiet luxury. Words like "serene," "handcrafted," "thoughtfully," "enduring," "understated elegance" can reinforce the tone.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the copywriting style consistently complements the brand's clean, minimalist, and sophisticated visual identity across all platforms. The language should feel as curated and considered as the products themselves.
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically audit all brand communications (website copy, social media posts, emails) to ensure they remain aligned with the defined tone and values. Customer interactions and feedback can also provide insights into how the tone is being perceived and if adjustments are needed.

Social Perception

Positive (within its community), Niche Appeal, Potential for Confusion.
