Best Practices

• •Speak Like a Friend: Use warm, approachable language. Address the customer directly (e.g., "you," "we're here for you"). Avoid overly formal or technical jargon.
• •Emphasize Empowerment and Confidence: Frame product benefits around how they will make the customer feel (e.g., "feel beautiful," "step out with confidence," "express your unique style").
• •Highlight Modesty Positively: Present modest features as desirable and stylish, not as a compromise (e.g., "elegant coverage," "graceful necklines," "designed for comfort and modesty").
• •Be Authentic and Relatable: Share behind-the-scenes glimpses, introduce team members, and talk about the "why" behind the brand, as they currently do well on social media. Honesty in product descriptions (fit, fabric) builds trust.
• •Foster Community: Encourage interaction by asking questions, featuring customer photos (with permission), and using inclusive language that makes customers feel like part of the "Main Street family."
