Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Love & Rage": Inject personality into copy. Don't be afraid of a little dark humor, wit, or a rebellious spirit, balanced with the passion for the craft.
• •Speak to the "TorturedArmy": Use inclusive language that resonates with the alternative community. Acknowledge their desire for individuality and self-expression.
• •Highlight the Handmade & Ethical Angle: Consistently mention the "handmade" nature of many products and the brand's commitment to ethical sourcing. This reinforces value and authenticity.
• •Be Descriptive with an Edge: When describing products, use vivid language that evokes the gothic, punk, or horror aesthetic (e.g., "crypt," "killer designs," "witching hour," "dark magic").
• •Maintain a Consistent Voice Across Platforms: While the style of content may vary slightly (e.g., TikTok vs. product descriptions), the core brand voice – edgy, authentic, community-focused – should remain recognizable.
