Best Practices

• •Embrace "Playful Craftsmanship": Always balance the artisanal quality and heritage with a light, joyful, and approachable tone. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a specific benefit (like comfort).
• •Lead with "Color" and "Customization": These are key differentiators. Make them prominent in headlines and calls to action. Use evocative language to describe colors and the creative process.
• •Speak Directly to "You": Reinforce the "U. And You." concept by using direct address. Make the customer feel like a co-creator in their shoe design.
• •Highlight the "Made in Asakusa/Tokyo" Heritage Subtly but Consistently: This builds trust and speaks to the quality and tradition. It’s a mark of distinction.
• •Focus on Comfort as a Feeling: Don't just say "comfortable"; describe the sensation – "gentle embrace," "light as a sneaker," "soft from day one." Connect comfort to the joy of wearing the shoes.
