Best Practices

• •Prioritize "Story" over "Features": Instead of just listing dimensions or wood type, tell the story behind the piece. Talk about the local craftspeople, the family heritage, or how the furniture will fit into the customer's life for years to come.
• •Maintain a Consistent Vocabulary: Always use key brand phrases like "solid wood," "Canadian made," "handcrafted," and "family-owned." This repetition reinforces brand values and improves recall.
• •Emphasize Longevity and Value: Frame the purchase not as an expense, but as a long-term investment. Use words like "heirloom," "generations," "timeless," and "lifetime" to communicate durability and lasting value.
• •Adopt a "We" and "Our" Tone: Write from the perspective of the family and the team. Using "we" and "our" (e.g., "Our artisan partners," "We believe in quality") fosters a personal connection and reinforces the image of a dedicated, family-run business.
• •Ensure Visuals and Copy are Aligned: The warm, professional, and quality-focused tone of the copy must be matched by high-quality, well-lit photography that showcases the texture and craftsmanship of the wood furniture, as they currently do effectively on their Instagram.
