Brand Tone

Casual and Approachable, Practical and Direct, Creative and Enabling, Potentially Community-Oriented/Nostalgic

Brand Values

• •Personalization and Self-Expression
• •Accessibility
• •Local Pride/Connection (potential)
• •Simplicity/Ease of Use
• •Everyday Comfort and Lifestyle

Best Practices

• •Develop a Clear Brand Voice Document: Even if brief, outline key personality traits (e.g., friendly, witty, inspiring, down-to-earth), preferred vocabulary, and things to avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Tell Your Story (Even a Simple One): Create an "About Us" page. Even if it's about the joy of enabling self-expression or a love for unique designs, a story helps humanize the brand and makes the "Roadside Market" name feel more intentional. This is a place to build trust and credibility.
• •Consistency Across All Touchpoints: Ensure the tone used in website copy, product descriptions, email marketing, and any future social media is uniform. Avoid being overly formal in one area and extremely casual in another.
• •Focus on "You" and "Your": Especially with a customization-focused brand, make the customer the hero. Use language that empowers them and centers their creativity and desires (e.g., "your design," "express yourself," "create your unique...").
• •Engage and Listen (If/When Active on Social Media): If a social media presence is developed, the tone of replies and interactions should match the overall brand voice. Respond to comments and messages in a way that reinforces the brand's personality.
