Best Practices

• •Emphasize "Humboldt": Continuously tie the brand and products back to Humboldt County, its unique environment, and its culture. Use local landmarks or iconic imagery in descriptions where appropriate.
• •Highlight "Original" and "Independent": Remind customers of the brand's authentic, local, and woman-owned origins. This builds trust and a sense of connection.
• •Speak the "Urban Streetwear Meets Outdoorsy Hippie" Language: Use a vocabulary that bridges these two styles – words like "rad," "vibe," "threads," "gear," "adventure," "chill," combined with terms that evoke nature and quality.
• •Maintain a Confident & Proud Voice: Reflect the pride in being a long-standing local business and a key part of the Humboldt identity.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Quality: Instead of just saying "high quality," describe the materials, the durability, or the care put into making the products. Mentioning things like "real people who take pride in their work" reinforces this.
