Best Practices

• •Embrace Warm & Evocative Language: Use words that convey comfort, nostalgia, tradition, and charm (e.g., heartfelt, timeless, rustic, cozy, handcrafted, heritage).
• •Tell a Story: Frame products not just as items, but as part of a lifestyle or a way to create a feeling in the home. Share the inspiration behind collections or the craftsmanship involved.
• •Maintain a Personal & Friendly Voice: Even in more formal descriptions, keep the tone approachable and genuine, as if speaking to a friend or welcome guest. Reflect the owner's passion.
• •Highlight Quality & Durability: Consistently mention the quality of materials and craftsmanship, reinforcing the value of the products.
• •Be Consistent Across Platforms: While adapting content for different channels (e.g., more visual on Instagram, potentially more community-focused on Facebook for the local store), ensure the core tone and values remain the same. The online e-commerce voice should align with the in-store feel where applicable.
