Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice Chart": Explicitly define the brand's personality traits (e.g., Passionate, Knowledgeable, Supportive, Approachable, Honest). For each trait, list "Do's" and "Don'ts" for language and style. For Aus Shrimp Home, a "Do" would be "Use enthusiastic and encouraging language"; a "Don't" would be "Use overly technical jargon without explanation."
• •Speak from the Founder's Passion (Authenticity): Continue leveraging Henry's personal story and passion. Use "I" and "we" to create a personal connection, especially in blogs, about sections, and social media engagement. This builds trust and humanizes the brand.
• •Prioritize Helpful, Educational Content: Ensure product descriptions, blog posts, and FAQs are not just selling but also genuinely helping the customer succeed in their hobby. Anticipate questions and provide clear, easy-to-understand answers.
• •Maintain Transparency, Especially with Policies: Clearly communicate important information like shipping procedures for live animals and the DOA policy in a straightforward but fair and reassuring tone. Explain the "why" behind policies where appropriate (e.g., shipping on certain days to protect the animals).
• •Consistent Language Across All Platforms: Ensure the tone used on the website (product descriptions, blogs, FAQs) is mirrored in email communications, any social media interactions, and even in customer service responses via chat or email. This creates a cohesive and reliable brand experience.

Social Perception

Generally Positive for Livestock, Appreciation for Packaging and Shipping, Mixed on Some Dry Goods, Valued for Range and Information, Concerns about DOA Policy Enforcement, Building Trust
