Best Practices

• •Create a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your brand tone (passionate, expert, friendly, adventurous, approachable), including acceptable vocabulary, phrases to use/avoid, and the overall feeling you want to convey. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Immerse in the "Salty To The Core" Ethos: Ensure all content creators understand and can authentically channel this core mantra. It’s about a genuine passion for the saltwater lifestyle and expertise, not just selling products.
• •Use Storytelling & User-Generated Content: Share customer stories, fishing triumphs, and beautiful on-water moments. This reinforces the community aspect and authentic passion, allowing the brand tone to shine through real experiences. Encourage use of #BHOFishing and #SaltyToTheCore.
• •Balance Expertise with Inclusivity: While showcasing deep knowledge, ensure language remains accessible to newcomers. Offer tips and advice in a friendly, non-intimidating way, making everyone feel welcome in the BHO community.
• •Consistent Voice Across All Channels: Whether it's a website product description, a Facebook post, an Instagram caption, or a YouTube tutorial, the core tone should be recognizable. Regularly review content across platforms to ensure alignment.
