Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the core tone attributes (e.g., passionate, expert, trustworthy, sophisticated, respectful of heritage) and provide examples of "do's and don'ts" for language.
• •Emphasize Storytelling: Vintage items, especially watches, have a rich history. Weave narratives about the era, the craftsmanship, or the significance of particular models into product descriptions and content. This naturally conveys passion and expertise.
• •Use Specific Horological Terminology (judiciously): While you want to be accessible, using correct and relevant watch terminology demonstrates expertise and resonates with enthusiasts. Define terms where necessary for a broader audience.
• •Maintain a Tone of Understated Confidence: As experts in a niche field, the copy should convey authority and knowledge without being arrogant or overly technical. Focus on the beauty, craftsmanship, and investment value of the pieces.
• •Ensure Consistency Across All Platforms: Whether it's the website, social media captions, email marketing, or customer service interactions, the brand's passionate, expert, and trustworthy voice should be consistently applied. Regular review and training for anyone creating content can help maintain this.
