Best Practices

• •Prioritize Quality and Craftsmanship: Consistently weave in language that reflects the superior materials, construction, and durability of the products. Use words like premium, superior, crafted, engineered, durable, best-in-class.
• •Speak as an Enabler: Frame your messaging around how Independent Trading Co. helps other brands and creators succeed. Use phrases like your blank canvas, elevate your brand, built for your designs, partnering with creators.
• •Maintain a Knowledgeable Yet Accessible Voice: Share technical details (like fabric composition, gsm, construction features) in a way that underscores expertise but remains understandable and relevant to the benefits (e.g., our 80/20 cotton-poly blend ensures minimal shrinkage and a super-soft feel perfect for printing).
• •Keep it Modern and Clean: Reflect the visual aesthetic of the brand in the copy – clear, concise, and contemporary. Avoid overly casual slang unless targeting a very specific sub-segment, but generally maintain a professional yet approachable tone.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell (with words): Use descriptive language that helps the reader visualize and feel the quality. Instead of just saying good hoodie, describe the substantial weight of our premium fleece, or the smooth face ideal for crisp prints. Highlight the tangible benefits of the quality you provide.
