Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the identified tone (Artisanal & Authentic, Elegant & Minimalist, Story-Driven & Passionate, Respectful & Appreciative, Quietly Confident), key messaging points, "do's and don'ts" for language, and examples. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Prioritize Storytelling: Consistently weave the brand's unique narrative (heritage, craftsmanship, journey) into product descriptions, social media posts, and email marketing. Focus on the "why" behind the products.
• •Use High-Quality, Authentic Visuals: Ensure that photography and videography align with the elegant, minimalist, and artisanal aesthetic. Showcase the texture of the leather, the details of the handcraft, and the products in authentic lifestyle contexts.
• •Empathetic & Respectful Engagement: When interacting with customers online (comments, DMs, reviews), maintain a respectful, appreciative, and helpful tone. Address queries with the same care and attention to detail that goes into making the products.
• •Regular Content Review: Periodically audit website copy, social media posts, and marketing materials to ensure they consistently reflect the defined brand tone and values. Adjust as needed, especially if new team members start creating content.
