Brand Tone

Direct and Product-Focused, Informal and Edgy, Enthusiast-Oriented

Brand Values

• •Individuality and Self-Expression
• •Uniqueness
• •Quality (Claimed)
• •Customer Focus (Claimed)
• •Trend Awareness (Claimed)
• •Provocation/Humor

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Edge, Honestly: Continue with the bold and direct tone that defines many of your popular products, but ensure transparency in product descriptions (e.g., size, quantity if sold individually vs. pair) to manage expectations upfront and reduce post-purchase dissatisfaction.
• •Showcase Quality & Craftsmanship Consistently: Use high-quality imagery and videos in your copy that highlight the metal construction and detail of the badges. Reinforce the "not cheap plastic" angle, as this is a key differentiator if true.
• •Inject Humor and Personality (Where Appropriate): Maintain the humorous and edgy voice in social media posts and ad copy for relevant products, but balance it with clear, professional communication regarding customer service and shipping information.
• •Address the Elephant in the Room (Shipping & Service): While not strictly "tone," your brand's voice is severely undermined by negative operational perceptions. Use clear, reassuring, and *truthful* language about shipping times on product pages and order confirmations. Improving and then highlighting reliable customer service will be crucial for rebuilding trust. Perhaps adopt a slightly more empathetic and solution-oriented tone in customer service communications.
• •Be Consistent Across Platforms, but Adapt the Message: While the core edgy and direct tone should be recognizable, slightly adapt the copy for different platforms. For instance, Instagram copy might be more visual and concise, while website product descriptions can be more detailed. Ensure the "About Us" claims of customer focus and quality are reflected in *actions* and communication, not just words.

Social Perception

Highly polarized: Positive perception from customers who appreciate the unique/edgy designs and good quality metal emblems; Negative perception due to allegations of being a scam, extremely long shipping times, non-delivery of items, and poor customer service.
