Brand Tone

Direct & Informative (with disclaimers), Sales-Oriented, Crisis Communication (Forced)

Brand Values

• •Authenticity (Claimed)
• •Customer Satisfaction (Claimed)
• •Accessibility
• •Traditional/Natural Health (Implied)
• •Compliance (Post-Recall Action)

Best Practices

• •Honesty Above All: Given the recall, all communications must be scrupulously honest and transparent. Avoid making unsubstantiated claims. Acknowledge past issues if relevant and detail corrective actions.
• •Emphasize Safety & Quality Assurance: Make verified safety and quality control a cornerstone of all messaging. Detail the steps taken (e.g., third-party testing, certifications if any, sourcing transparency).
• •Educational & Cautious Tone: Shift from purely sales-driven language to a more educational tone. Continue to include clear disclaimers as seen on the website (FDA non-approval, consult a doctor), and ensure all product descriptions are factual and avoid making disease treatment claims.
• •Develop Clear Brand Guidelines: Create an internal document outlining the brand's voice, key messages, and a list of do's and don'ts, especially concerning health claims and addressing the recall. Ensure anyone creating content is aware of these guidelines.
• •Monitor & Respond (If Engaging): If the brand decides to engage on any platform, actively monitor mentions and reviews. Respond to concerns (especially regarding safety and the recall) professionally, empathetically, and with factual information about corrective measures. The current lack of a clear social media response channel is a weakness.
