Best Practices

• •Always Prioritize 'Support' over 'Sales': Frame your copy around helping the customer achieve their outdoor goals, with products being the means to that end. Emphasize advice, encouragement, and shared passion.
• •Use 'We' and 'You' to Foster Connection: Speak directly to your audience in a conversational manner. Phrases like 'We're here to help you' or 'Let's get you ready' build a relationship.
• •Incorporate Authentic Outdoor Language (but keep it accessible): Use terms familiar to the orienteering and outdoor community, but ensure explanations are available or context is clear for newcomers. Avoid overly technical jargon without clarification.
• •Highlight Community and Local Connection: Regularly mention your New Zealand roots, involvement in local events, and the broader outdoor community. This reinforces the 'local adventure outfitter' identity.
• •Maintain Honesty and Transparency: Stick to the principle of 'not selling something they don't need.' This builds trust and long-term loyalty. Let this shine through in product descriptions and recommendations.
