Mejores Prácticas

• •Use Sensory and Evocative Language: Consistently use words that appeal to the senses and paint a picture of the Iona experience. Phrases like "misty mornings," "whispering winds," "salty air," and "ancient stones" reinforce the brand's connection to its environment.
• •Emphasize "Small" and "Intimate": Always highlight the exclusivity and personal nature of the retreats. Use words like "small group," "six participants," "personal guidance," and "like-minded community" to create a sense of a special, shared journey.
• •Lean into the Spiritual Heritage: Don't shy away from the mystical and historical aspects of Iona. Referencing its history as a "sacred island," a place of "pilgrimage," and a "thin place" adds a layer of depth and appeal that commercial retreats cannot match.
• •Maintain a Calm and Gentle Tone: The copy should feel like a quiet conversation. Avoid aggressive sales language, excessive exclamation points, or urgent calls-to-action. Instead, use invitations like "Join us," "Discover," "Explore," and "We invite you to."
• •Focus on Transformation, Not Just Activity: Frame the retreats as a transformative experience. The goal isn't just to learn to draw; it's to "connect with your inner world," "awaken joy and playfulness," and "lift your heart." The copywriting should reflect this deeper benefit.

Percepción Social

The brand is perceived as offering a premium, intimate, and deeply restorative experience for a niche audience valuing quiet contemplation and artistic immersion. The island is viewed as a "thin place" highly sought-after for inspiration and solitude, with the brand's lack of flashy online presence contributing to its authenticity.
