Tono de Marca

Personable, authentic, and community-oriented.

Valores de Marca

• •Heritage & Authenticity: Celebrating the American West through a modern lens, respecting traditions while making them accessible and stylish.
• •Small Business Craftsmanship: Emphasis on care, quality control, and a personal touch, implying quality over mass production.
• •Modern Style: Blending classic western motifs with contemporary design, creating stylish pieces for everyday wear.
• •Connection to Place: Grounding the brand in a specific, meaningful location (Kansas Flint Hills) through its name and storytelling.

Mejores Prácticas

• •Lead with the Founder's Story: Always circle back to the "why." Use Kaylee's story and the brand's Kansas roots in "About Us" pages, occasional social media posts, and email marketing to keep the brand grounded and authentic.
• •Create a "Brand Voice" Style Guide: Document key elements of your tone. Specify that the voice is "friendly, not formal," "confident, not arrogant," and "authentic, not staged." Include a list of preferred words ("y'all," "friends," "ranchy," "curated," "heartland") and words to avoid ("customer," "purchase," "corporation").
• •Prioritize Authentic Visuals: Continue to mix professional product shots with user-generated content and behind-the-scenes glimpses. This visual strategy reinforces the values of community and authenticity. Avoid overly polished, corporate-looking stock photography.
• •Engage Like a Person, Not a Corporation: When responding to comments and messages, maintain the established friendly and personal tone. Address people by name, use emojis where appropriate (🤠, ✨, ☻), and answer questions with a helpful, neighborly attitude.
• •Let the Product Tell a Story: Infuse product descriptions with the brand's values. Instead of just listing features, describe the feeling or lifestyle the item evokes. Explain the inspiration behind a design or the reason a particular material was chosen to connect the product back to the brand's core identity.

Percepción Social

Overwhelmingly positive, built on strong community engagement and authentic appeal. Customers show positive engagement, support for the small business narrative, and appreciate the 'modern western' aesthetic.
