Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize the "Why": Don't just describe the toy; explain *why* it's beneficial. Connect features to developmental outcomes (e.g., "This puzzle with chunky knobs (feature) helps toddlers develop their pincer grasp and hand-eye coordination (benefit)").
• •Use Positive and Encouraging Language: Frame copy with words that inspire confidence and excitement, like "discover," "unlock," "imagine," "nurture," "celebrate." Avoid jargon or overly technical terms unless clearly explained.
• •Speak Directly to Your Audience (Parents/Caregivers): Use "you" and "your child" to create a personal connection. Understand their needs, aspirations, and challenges, and address them empathetically.
• •Maintain a Consistent Voice Guide: Develop a simple internal guide outlining key tone words (e.g., "Friendly, Educational, Trustworthy, Passionate, Helpful"), preferred terminology, and things to avoid. This ensures anyone writing copy stays on-brand.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, the Fun: Incorporate playful language, emojis where appropriate (especially on social media), and storytelling elements that evoke the joy of play. Let the enthusiasm for the products shine through the words.
