Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Chart: Internally document key characteristics of your tone (e.g., "We are: Knowledgeable, not Arrogant. We are: Helpful, not Overbearing. We use: Clear, direct language with an undercurrent of passion for boating."). Provide examples of "do's and don'ts."
• •Prioritize Clarity and Function: While enthusiasm is good, the primary goal is to inform customers about how products solve their problems or enhance their boating. Technical accuracy and clear benefit articulation are key.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Quality: Instead of just saying "high quality," describe *why* it's high quality (e.g., "Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance," or "Featuring robust welds for maximum load-bearing capacity").
• •Incorporate User-Generated Content & Testimonials Authentically: When sharing customer photos or reviews, let their genuine enthusiasm shine through. Frame it with your reliable and helpful brand voice. For example, "We love seeing our gear in action! Thanks, [Customer Name], for sharing your [Product] experience. Smooth sailing ahead!"
• •Adapt Subtly for Different Platforms, but Maintain Core Values: While TikTok copy can be more casual and punchy than a detailed product page, the underlying values of quality, reliability, and boating passion should still be evident. The *way* you say it might change slightly, but *what* you stand for remains consistent.
