Brand Values

• •Passion for Pickleball
• •Quality
• •Customer Satisfaction
• •Community
• •Accessibility/Inclusivity

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice Chart": Document key characteristics of your tone (e.g., Enthusiastic, Helpful, Inclusive) with "Do's" (e.g., use exclamation points judiciously to show excitement, ask engaging questions) and "Don'ts" (e.g., avoid overly technical jargon unless explained, don't use negative or condescending language).
• •Always Speak from the "Player's Perspective": Use "we" when referring to the brand as part of the community and "you" to directly address the customer. Show empathy for their needs and excitement for their pickleball journey.
• •Incorporate Pickleball Lingo (Authentically): Use common pickleball terms like "dink," "kitchen," "ATP," "third shot drop" where appropriate, but ensure it feels natural and not forced. Briefly explain terms if the context is for beginners.
• •Focus on Benefits and Shared Passion, Not Just Features: Instead of just saying a paddle is "graphite," explain how that graphite helps with "quick volleys and a responsive feel that true players appreciate." Connect product features back to the love of the game.
• •Review and Edit with Tone in Mind: Before publishing any copy (website updates, social media posts, emails), reread it specifically asking: "Does this sound like Pickleballers Hub? Is it enthusiastic, helpful, and community-focused?" Ensure consistency across all platforms.

Social Perception

Positive (by association with the sport), Niche & Specialized, Emerging/Growing, Helpful Resource (potential)
