Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your tone (e.g., passionate, curated, friendly, knowledgeable, inspirational) with examples of do's and don'ts. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to – vintage enthusiasts, designers, people looking for unique items. Tailor your language to resonate with their interests and appreciation for quality and history.
• •Tell the Story: Vintage items have a history. Weave in details about the era, style, craftsmanship, or potential previous life of a piece (when known and appropriate) to add depth and connection. Emphasize the "unique find" aspect.
• •Use Evocative and Descriptive Language: Go beyond basic descriptions. Use words that convey the style, feeling, and quality of the items (e.g., "timeless," "iconic lines," "rich patina," "handcrafted detail," "statement piece").
• •Maintain Authenticity and Enthusiasm: Let your genuine passion for vintage shine through. Avoid overly corporate or generic language. Be enthusiastic about your collection and the community you've built. This authenticity will resonate with your audience.
