Brand Tone

Enthusiastic & Passionate, Approachable & Inclusive, Knowledgeable & Helpful, Community-Oriented, Promotional but Value-Driven

Brand Values

• •Customer Experience: Striving to provide helpful service, from selecting the right bike to offering maintenance and support.
• •Passion for Cycling: Promoting cycling as a healthy, enjoyable, and sustainable activity for everyone.
• •Quality & Selection: Offering a wide range of reputable bike brands and cycling products to meet diverse needs and preferences.
• •Expertise & Guidance: Sharing knowledge to empower customers to make informed decisions and get the most out of their cycling experiences.
• •Community Engagement: Actively participating in and supporting local cycling communities through events, rides, and partnerships.
• •Accessibility: Aiming to make cycling accessible through various price points, bike types (including e-bikes), and financing options.

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your tone (e.g., enthusiastic, helpful, inclusive), preferred vocabulary, "do's and don'ts," and provide examples. Share this with everyone who creates content.
• •Focus on the "Why": Always connect back to the core values. Whether it's a sale or a tip, frame it around the passion for cycling, helping the customer, or building community. For instance, instead of just saying "Bike for sale," say "Unlock new adventures with the [Bike Model], designed for [benefit/experience]."
• •Speak to Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to (beginners, enthusiasts, families) and tailor the language to be relatable and understandable, avoiding overly technical jargon unless explaining it clearly. Use "you" and "your" to make it personal.
• •Be Authentic and Human: Let the genuine passion for cycling shine through. Use real-life examples, share stories (even from staff or customers with permission), and don't be afraid to show personality. Avoid overly corporate or robotic language.
• •Review and Iterate: Regularly review your content across all platforms to ensure consistency. Gather feedback, see what resonates with your audience, and be willing to refine your approach while staying true to the core tone and values. Train new team members on these principles.

Social Perception

Generally Positive, Strong Local Presence, E-bike Leaders
