Do you ever feel like you’re using the same words over and over again in your copy? Clients often come to us concerned that they sound repetitive in their blog posts and social media captions. It can get exhausting coming up with so many, well, words. This is especially true if you’re trying to develop a distinctive brand voice. We’ve come up with a series of blogging writing tips to help you spice up your copy and develop a stronger brand voice.
Blogging Writing Tips for Better Word Choice
We organized our blogging writing tips around three words that wedding vendors use time and again: timeless, beautiful, and intimate. While these words are impactful and descriptive, they’re everywhere. The result is that a lot of brands can sound the same. Remember that potential clients are consuming a LOT of content in their search for the right vendor. You need to stand out from the crowd.
You should have a sense of how you would describe your brand. With that in mind, think about how your brand translates into words (a.k.a. your brand voice). Check out these synonyms for more on-brand alternatives to these often-repeated words. We organized them according to three general categories: modern, classically romantic, and fun. Find the one that fits your brand best, and have some fun with your copy!
