Best Practices

• •Prioritize Authenticity and Passion: Write from a place of genuine belief in the product and its craftsmanship. Share the 'why' behind designs and material choices. For example, explaining that the window covers were born from personal need adds a layer of authenticity.
• •Emphasize 'Handmade' and 'Quality Materials' Subtly and Consistently: Weave these core values into product descriptions and storytelling without being repetitive or boastful. Focus on the *benefits* of these aspects (e.g., 'meticulously stitched for longevity' instead of just 'handmade').
• •Use Clear, Concise, and Functional Language: Reflect the practical nature of the products. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a specific benefit to a knowledgeable audience. The tone should be straightforward and confident in the product's utility.
• •Highlight Durability and Longevity: Frame products as long-term investments that get better with age or withstand rigorous use. Use phrases that evoke endurance and reliability.
• •Maintain an Understated Confidence: Let the quality, materials, and 'Made in USA' aspect speak for themselves. Avoid hyperbole or overly aggressive sales language. The confidence comes from the product's inherent value and the craftsmanship behind it.
