Buttons

Primary Buttons

Accent Buttons

Outline Buttons

Button Guidelines

  • Primary (Cyprus): Use for main actions like "Sign Up", "Get Started"
  • Accent (Gold): Use for prominent CTAs like "Book Demo", "Contact Sales"
  • Outline: Use for secondary actions or when buttons appear on coloured backgrounds
  • Always maintain sufficient padding (12-16px vertical, 24-32px horizontal)
  • Use rounded corners (8-12px border-radius)

Brand Voice

Tone & Personality

  • Confident: We know our product and industry well
  • Warm: Approachable and friendly, not cold or corporate
  • Clear: Simple language, no jargon
  • Respectful: We honour the tradition of Indian jewellery businesses

The Family Jeweller Narrative

Use this storytelling framework in marketing:

  1. Honour the past: "Your grandfather built trust one customer at a time"
  2. Acknowledge the challenge: "But how do you maintain that personal touch across 5 branches and 10,000 customers?"
  3. Present the bridge: "Ashmero gives you the memory your grandfather had—for every customer, at every branch"
  4. Show the future: "So your grandchildren inherit not just a business, but a system that grows with them"

Writing Guidelines

  • Use active voice: "Manage your store" not "Your store can be managed"
  • Be specific: "Setup in 24 hours" not "Quick setup"
  • Address the reader directly: "You" and "Your"
  • Keep sentences short and scannable
  • Use Indian English spelling (jeweller, not jeweler)

✓ Say This

  • "Turn one-time buyers into lifelong customers"
  • "Setup in 24 hours"
  • "Built for Indian jewellers"
  • "Your store in every customer's pocket"
  • "From Karigar to Customer. One Platform."

✗ Not This

  • "Revolutionary AI-powered solution"
  • "Best-in-class enterprise software"
  • "Leverage synergies"
  • "Disruptive technology"
  • "Just need billing software"
