Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your tone (Natural, Artisanal, Eco-conscious, Evocative), including specific vocabulary to use and avoid, sentence structure preferences, and overall feeling you want to convey.
• •Immerse in Nature's Language: Consistently use descriptive words that evoke the natural world, sensory experiences (smell, sight, sound of a crackling wick), and the specific inspirations from the Great Ocean Road (e.g., "towering Redwoods," "trails and gardens," "wild and untamed").
• •Highlight "Handmade" and "Small Batch" Authenticity: Remind customers of the care and craftsmanship involved in creating each product, reinforcing the artisanal quality.
• •Emphasize Eco-Conscious Choices: Weave in details about sustainable materials (coconut and soy wax, wooden wicks, non-GMO, vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, paraffin-free) and your commitment to giving back (10% profit donation) naturally within product descriptions, social media posts, and your brand story.
• •Tell Stories, Don't Just Sell Products: Connect scents to memories, experiences, and the feeling of being in nature, as highlighted in your "Our Inspiration" sections and customer testimonials. Focus on how the products make the customer *feel* and the ambiance they create.
