• •Design Integrity
• •Personalized Customer Service
• •Authenticity & Heritage
• •Quality over Quantity

Best Practices

• •Lead with the 'Why': Always start with the brand's philosophy—the belief in handmade quality and transformative design—before detailing product features. Use phrases like 'We believe...' or 'Our philosophy is...' to frame the narrative.
• •Use Storytelling & Provenance: Consistently mention 'Handmade in Derbyshire,' the artisan 'Gwyn Carless,' and the 'time-honoured techniques.' This narrative of origin and craftsmanship is your strongest differentiator.
• •Employ an Elegant Vocabulary: Use sophisticated and evocative language. Words like 'sculptural,' 'bespoke,' 'transformative,' 'curated,' and 'artisan' reinforce the premium positioning. Avoid generic marketing terms and clichés.
• •Incorporate Social Proof: Leverage your excellent reviews. Weave phrases and sentiments from customer testimonials into your copy (e.g., 'Praised for its 'stunning' and 'sculptural' quality...' or 'Join hundreds of delighted customers who value our 'attention to detail' and 'excellent service'').
• •Speak as the Expert: Maintain an authoritative yet approachable tone. Clearly explain the benefits of different materials (e.g., brass, porcelain, glass) and lighting styles (e.g., pendant, cluster, wall) to guide the customer's choice, reinforcing your specialist status.
