Brand Tone

passionate, nostalgic, enthusiastic, and community-focused

Brand Values

• •Passion for Music: A deep love for music and the vinyl format is central to the brand.
• •Accessibility & Affordability: Striving to make vinyl records available to all South Africans.
• •Community Building: Fostering a vinyl culture and a community of music lovers in South Africa.
• •Authenticity & Nostalgia: Celebrating the unique, tangible experience of vinyl records and the connection to music history.
• •Customer Experience: Implied through their mission to provide a platform for discovery and enjoyment.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Passionate Language: Use words that convey excitement, love for music, and the unique qualities of vinyl (e.g., "soulful," "magical," "timeless," "iconic," "warmth").
• •Foster a Sense of Community: Address your audience directly, ask questions, and encourage interaction. Use inclusive language ("fellow music lovers," "our community").
• •Tap into Nostalgia: Refer to the experience of vinyl, memories associated with music, and the act of collecting.
• •Be Authentic and Knowledgeable (but Accessible): Share interesting facts or insights about albums or artists, but avoid overly technical jargon that might alienate newcomers. Position the brand as a fellow enthusiast.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Consistency: Ensure that the tone of your written content aligns with your visual branding (e.g., imagery used on social media and the website). If the visuals are vintage-inspired or warm, the text should reflect that.
