• •Quality Products
• •Customer Satisfaction
• •Community Building
• •Family Values

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the determined tone (passionate, enthusiastic, approachable, community-oriented) with examples of do's and don'ts. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Know Your Audience: Speak their language. Since the brand targets "pickleball fanatics," using common pickleball slang and showing understanding of their needs will resonate more.
• •Prioritize Passion and Enthusiasm: Let the love for pickleball shine through in all communications. Avoid overly dry or corporate language.
• •Foster Community: Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "your fellow junkies"). Encourage interaction and sharing when appropriate (e.g., on a blog or future social media).
• •Be Authentic: As a "family-owned business" that loves the sport, let that genuine care and commitment come across. Avoid hype that feels insincere. Tell your story and connect on a personal level where appropriate.

Social Perception

Positive Perception Likely Hinges On: Product quality, shipping reliability, customer service responsiveness, and competitive pricing. Potential Challenges: Competing with larger sporting goods retailers, building widespread brand recognition without a strong social media or marketing push. Niche Appeal: Likely viewed favorably by those specifically seeking pickleball gear and appreciating a dedicated store. The "junkie" in the name suggests an appeal to highly enthusiastic players.
