Brand Tone

Aspirational & Relaxed, Warm & Inviting, Slightly Whimsical & Joyful, Quality-Conscious & Appreciative of Aesthetics, Friendly & Approachable

Brand Values

• •Creating Beautiful Living Spaces: Helping customers make their homes a "haven" with personality.
• •Love of Summer & Coastal Living: Celebrating the lifestyle, feelings, and aesthetics associated with the coast and summer.
• •Quality & Craftsmanship: Implied through "Australian made with love" and the curated nature of their collections.
• •Family & Home: As a family-owned business, these values are inherent.
• •Happiness & Well-being: Connecting their products to feelings of joy, relaxation, and comfort in one's own space.

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Summer Feeling" in All Communications: Whether it's a product description, social media update, or customer service email, infuse the language with warmth, positivity, and a sense of relaxed joy associated with summer. Think light, breezy, and uplifting.
• •Use Evocative & Sensory Language: Describe how products *feel* and the atmosphere they create (e.g., "soft, sun-bleached linens," "the calming hues of the ocean," "a space that breathes with light and ease"). Appeal to the senses to transport the customer to their ideal coastal setting.
• •Maintain Visual Consistency: Ensure all imagery (website, social media, ads) reflects the bright, airy, and aspirational coastal/Hamptons aesthetic. High-quality photography that showcases products in inspiring settings is key.
• •Be Genuinely Friendly & Approachable: As a family-owned Australian business, let that personality shine through. Use welcoming language, respond to comments and queries with warmth, and share snippets that connect customers to the people behind the brand.
• •Focus on Lifestyle & Aspiration, Not Just Products: Frame your copywriting around the lifestyle your products enable – creating a beautiful, relaxing home, enjoying moments of comfort and joy, and bringing the essence of a perpetual summer indoors. Sell the dream, not just the decor.

Social Perception

Aesthetic Appeal, Product Quality, Inspiration, Trustworthiness. The brand name itself, "Signs of Summer," is evocative and generally positive, associating the products with warmth, light, and leisure.
