Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice Chart": Document key characteristics of Varnish & Vine's tone (Enthusiastic, Approachable, Informative, Modern, Quality-Focused) with "Do" and "Don't" examples for each. For instance: *Do: Use exclamation points and emojis where appropriate to convey enthusiasm. Don't: Use overly formal or academic language.*
• •Prioritize "You" over "We": Focus copy on the customer's benefits, desires, and experience. Instead of "We sell amazing cacti," try "You'll love how our amazing cacti transform your space." This makes the communication more approachable and customer-centric.
• •Infuse Passion Authentically: Let the genuine love for plants shine through. Use descriptive, evocative language when talking about products (e.g., "majestic," "stunning blue-green hue," "lush," "vibrant"). Share excitement about new arrivals or customer successes.
• •Maintain a Helpful, Educational Stance: Even in promotional copy, weave in useful tips or highlight ease of care. This reinforces the informative aspect of the brand and builds trust. Answer questions proactively in descriptions or social posts.
• •Stay Current and Engaging (Especially on Social Media): Embrace relevant trends, humor (like their existing TikToks), and interactive content (polls, Q&As) that align with a modern, approachable brand. Encourage user-generated content and feature it regularly to build community and authenticity.
