Best Practices

• •Prioritize "Helpful & Approachable": Always write with the customer's needs and potential questions in mind. Use clear, straightforward language, avoiding overly technical jargon unless explaining specifics. Frame content around solutions and project success.
• •Emphasize "Quality & American Made": Consistently highlight the origin (USA-made, American hardwoods) and the quality aspects (sustainably harvested, craftsmanship, durability) in product descriptions and brand messaging. This builds trust and justifies value.
• •Inspire with Visuals and Stories: Encourage user-generated content and showcase finished projects. Tell stories about transformations. This makes the brand relatable and the products more tangible.
• •Maintain a "Value-Driven" Voice (Not "Cheap"): Focus on the "factory-direct" aspect and the quality received for the price. Highlight sales and discounts as opportunities for smart investments in their homes, rather than just low prices.
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Ensure the friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable tone is reflected everywhere, from website FAQs and product descriptions to social media replies and email newsletters. Regularly review content to ensure alignment.
