Best Practices

• •Embrace "Kawaii" Authentically: Continuously infuse the concept of "kawaii" (cuteness, charm, playfulness) into product descriptions, social media captions, and all communications. Use words that evoke joy, whimsy, and delight.
• •Highlight the Artisan & Handmade Nature: Emphasize that candles are "hand-poured," made in "small batches," and crafted in their "Brooklyn studio." This reinforces quality, care, and the artistic process.
• •Weave in the Founder's Story & Inspiration: Periodically share Yui's journey, the brand's origins, and the cultural fusion inspiration (Japanese heritage meets Brooklyn art). This adds a personal, authentic touch that resonates with customers.
• •Be Transparent About Materials & Purpose: Clearly communicate the use of natural soy/beeswax, eco-friendly practices, and whether candles are primarily for decor or scented. This builds trust and manages expectations.
• •Maintain a Visually Cohesive & Playful Online Presence: Ensure that the playful and artistic tone of the copy is matched by equally vibrant, high-quality, and creative imagery, especially on platforms like Instagram. The language should feel like a natural extension of the visual brand.
