Best Practices

• •Focus on the "Why": Always circle back to why an item was chosen for the shop. Is it the maker's story, the unique material, the traditional technique? Infuse this passion into the descriptions.
• •Use Sensory Language: Describe how products look, feel, and even the atmosphere they create. Words like "tactile," "radiant," "cozy," "delicate," and "robust" can be powerful.
• •Highlight the Maker (when possible & appropriate): Briefly mentioning the artisan, their region, or their craft adds authenticity and value. This reinforces the "supporting artisans" value.
• •Maintain Visual & Verbal Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy matches the clean, aesthetic, and curated visuals. Avoid overly casual slang or hype-driven language that would clash with the sophisticated yet warm feel.
• •Speak to Your Ideal Customer: Imagine you're talking to someone who appreciates quality, uniqueness, and the stories behind products. Use language that resonates with their desire for items that are more than just "things."
