Best Practices

• •Prioritize Clarity and Simplicity: Avoid overly complex or flowery marketing language. The copy should be direct, informative, and easy to understand. The focus should always be on the product and its value to the customer's faith.
• •Use a Respectful and Formal Tone: All communications should reflect the reverence appropriate for the subject matter. Use formal titles (e.g., St. Thomas Aquinas) and maintain a professional, yet warm, tone.
• •Emphasize Core Values: Consistently weave in the brand's core values. Phrases like "family-owned," "serving the faithful," "traditional resources," and "affordable access" reinforce the brand's identity.
• •Focus on Service, Not Just Sales: Frame the brand's purpose as a service to the Catholic community. The copy should communicate a genuine desire to help customers grow in their faith, rather than just pushing for a transaction.
• •Maintain a Consistent Visual and Textual Style: Consistency on the website is key. Use the same fonts, color schemes, and a uniform style for product descriptions and headlines to reinforce the sense of order and reliability.

Social Perception

The public perceives Catholic Books Direct as a reliable and efficient supplier of Catholic materials. It is seen as a no-frills retailer, focusing on substance (good products and fair prices) over style, and is trusted as a niche specialist in its field.
