Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of your tone (e.g., "warm yet professional," "expert but not intimidating") with examples of "do's and don'ts." This ensures everyone writing for the brand is aligned.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to. The language and approach for someone seeking an engagement ring might differ slightly from someone needing a simple repair, but the core values of trust and quality should always shine through.
• •Emphasize "We" and "You": Focus on the customer and the relationship. Use inclusive language that makes the customer feel valued and understood ("We're here to help you," "Your perfect piece awaits").
• •Tell Stories: Share the stories behind the pieces, the craftsmanship, or customer experiences (with permission). This reinforces the personal, community-oriented, and traditional values of the brand.
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Whether it's a website banner, a Facebook post, an email newsletter, or an in-store sign, the tone should feel familiar and reinforce the same core brand identity. Regular review of content across platforms helps maintain this consistency.
