• •Prioritize Authenticity & Detail: Always provide specific details about the item's origin, artist (if applicable), materials, and historical/cultural significance. Avoid vague descriptions. Use phrases like \"genuine,\" \"hand-crafted by,\" \"authentic.\"
• •Weave in Storytelling: Connect products to larger narratives – the history of scrimshaw, the life of a local artist, Hawaiian legends, or the geological story of a fossil. This makes the items more than just objects.
• •Embrace the \"Aloha Spirit\" (Respectfully): Maintain a warm, welcoming, and respectful tone, especially when discussing Hawaiian culture or interacting with the community. Show gratitude and a genuine passion for the items and their stories.
• •Highlight Uniqueness & Craftsmanship: Emphasize what makes each piece special – the rarity of the material, the skill of the artisan, its one-of-a-kind nature. Use words like \"unique,\" \"rare,\" \"hand-carved,\" \"meticulously detailed.\"
• •Be Mindful of Heritage & Resilience: Acknowledge the brand's long history and its recent challenges with resilience. This adds depth and relatability. Share updates about the business and its connection to the Maui community.
