Brand Tone

Professional Expertise and Community-Centric Friendliness. It is professional and authoritative for B2B, community-focused and approachable for B2C, and action-oriented.

Brand Values

• •Community Commitment
• •Expertise & Quality
• •Service & Reliability
• •Legacy & Tradition
• •Passion for Sport

Best Practices

• •Lead with Community and Legacy: Always weave the brand's long history and deep roots in Saskatoon into the narrative. Mentioning 'Since 1955' or their commitment to local sports reinforces trust and authenticity.
• •Segment Your Voice: Distinguish between the B2C (individual customer) and B2B (Athletic Solutions) audiences. Use a friendly, passionate tone for general consumers and a more professional, solution-oriented tone for schools and teams.
• •Highlight Expertise, Not Just Products: Instead of just listing product features, frame the copy around the knowledge and service behind them. Use phrases like 'Our experts recommend,' 'Fitted by athletes,' or 'The right gear for your game.'
• •Use Action-Oriented, 'Sporty' Language: Incorporate active, energetic verbs and sports terminology where appropriate (e.g., 'Elevate,' 'Score,' 'Gear Up'). This connects the brand directly to the action on the field or in the gym.
• •Emphasize 'Solutions' and 'Service': Especially for the B2B audience, position the brand as a partner that solves problems. Focus on benefits like ease of ordering, customization, and reliable support, not just the physical goods.
