Brand Tone

Relaxed, Inspiring, and Welcoming

Brand Values

• •Love for the Coast: A genuine appreciation for marine environments and beach lifestyles.
• •Quality and Craftsmanship: Offering well-made items that enhance a home.
• •Comfort and Tranquility: Promoting a peaceful and relaxing home environment.
• •Beauty in Simplicity: Focusing on the natural and understated elegance of coastal design.
• •Creating a Sanctuary: Helping customers turn their homes into a personal escape.

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the identified tone (relaxed, inspiring, welcoming), key vocabulary (e.g., serene, shore, breezy, tranquil, navigate, drift), and a "do's and don'ts" list for communication.
• •Use Storytelling: Weave narratives around the coastal lifestyle, the inspiration behind products, or how items can transform a space, evoking feelings of calm and escape.
• •Focus on Benefits, Not Just Features: Instead of just saying "blue pillow," describe it as "a touch of ocean blue to calm your senses." Connect the decor to the feeling it evokes.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the language used in descriptions, ads, and any future social media complements the bright, airy, and serene imagery of the products and website.
• •Engage with Coastal Language and Imagery: Consistently use words and phrases associated with the sea, beach, and sailing (e.g., "anchor your style," "let your decor drift," "a wave of new arrivals," "shoreline chic") to reinforce the brand's niche.

Social Perception

Currently minimal or largely unformed in the public domain. Customers who have purchased directly from the site would have a perception based on their product quality, customer service experience, and the website's usability. However, broader public awareness and perception are not yet established. The lack of social media and third-party reviews means the brand is not yet part of a wider online conversation.
