Best Practices

• •Always Circle Back to the "Why": Whether it's a product description, social media post, or email, find a way to subtly (or overtly, when appropriate) connect back to the core mission of supporting veterans and the passion for aviation/tattoo art. This reinforces the purpose-driven tone.
• •Use Storytelling Actively: Don't just describe a t-shirt; tell the story behind the design. What piece of aviation history inspired it? What tattoo style is it referencing? This maintains the passionate and informative tone.
• •Embrace Inclusive Patriotism: While patriotism is a key value, ensure the language is inclusive and focuses on shared values like freedom, courage, and honor, appealing to a broader audience who appreciates these principles.
• •Maintain an Edgy yet Respectful Voice: The tattoo influence allows for a slightly edgier voice, but always balance it with the respect inherent in honoring aviation legends and veterans. Avoid slang or tones that could undermine the sincerity of the mission.
• •Foster a Sense of Community: Use collective pronouns ("we," "us," "our family," "our tribe"). Encourage interaction and make customers feel like they are part of something meaningful beyond just buying apparel. This reinforces the community-oriented and purpose-driven aspects of the brand.
