• •Embrace the Local Connection: Refer to Kyoto, local landmarks (where appropriate and natural), or the local cycling scene to reinforce community ties. Address your audience as fellow community members.
• •Be Genuinely Helpful: Focus on providing solutions, answering questions proactively (in FAQs, product descriptions), and offering practical advice. The tone should always be supportive.
• •Maintain a Conversational and Friendly Style: Use welcoming language. Ask questions in social media posts to encourage engagement. Even when discussing technical aspects, keep it understandable and approachable.
• •Showcase, Don't Just Sell: Highlight the experience and lifestyle benefits of the products. Instead of just listing features, explain how those features translate to a better ride or solve a cyclist's problem, all while conveying the joy of cycling.
