Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Internally document key tone words (e.g., authentic, warm, proud, customer-centric), common phrases, "words we use/don't use," and the overall feeling communications should evoke. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Storytelling is Key: Consistently weave in the brand's story – the family aspect, the handmade process, customer inspirations, and South African roots. This reinforces authenticity and connection.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell: Use high-quality visuals (photos and videos) that showcase the texture of the leather, the craftsmanship details, and the people behind the brand (if comfortable). Let the products and the process speak for themselves.
• •Engage Genuinely: When interacting with customers online (comments, messages), maintain the warm, friendly, and helpful tone. Address queries personally and show appreciation for feedback. Reinforce the "part of our family" feeling.
• •Highlight Values in Action: Regularly create content that subtly reinforces core values. For example, posts about new local leather sourcing, a feature on an artisan, explaining the lifetime warranty, or sharing a customer's story about their bag named after them.

Social Perception

Boot and Rally is perceived by its direct audience and partners as a provider of high-quality, authentic, and beautifully crafted leather goods. Customers who purchase the products appear to appreciate the craftsmanship and the unique nature of the items. The family-run aspect and the "made in South Africa" identity likely resonate well with their local customer base and those looking for unique, artisanal products.
