Best Practices

• •Educate with Empathy: Always aim to inform and educate customers about TCM and products, but do so with a caring and understanding tone, acknowledging their health journey.
• •Root in Tradition, Speak with Clarity: While highlighting the rich heritage and traditional aspects of TCM, explain concepts and benefits in clear, simple language that is accessible to a modern audience unfamiliar with TCM terminology.
• •Authenticity is Key: Share genuine passion for natural health and TCM. Use real stories (with permission) or highlight the long-standing history of the business to build trust.
• •Maintain a Helpful and Supportive Voice: Whether responding to comments, writing product descriptions, or creating blog posts, ensure the tone is consistently helpful, supportive, and customer-focused.
• •Visually Align Tone: Ensure that visuals (photography, videography, graphics) on social media and the website reflect the brand's tone – for instance, clean, natural aesthetics combined with informative and engaging content.
