Best Practices

• •Embrace "Friendly Neighbourhood": Always write as if you're speaking to a fellow enthusiast and friend. Use welcoming, approachable language. Avoid overly corporate or impersonal jargon.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Your Knowledge: Instead of saying "we're experts," weave in details that demonstrate expertise, e.g., "Looking for that rare 90s Image #1 or the latest manga hit? We've got you covered."
• •Highlight Community & Service: Regularly incorporate phrases that reinforce the shop’s commitment to its customers and the local comic scene (e.g., "Your local comic hub," "Always here to help you find your next favourite read").
• •Keep it Enthusiastic and Passionate: Let genuine love for comics shine through. Use positive and engaging words. For example, instead of "We sell comics," try "Fuel your fandom with our incredible selection!"
• •Maintain Consistency Across Platforms: Whether it's a website banner, a social media post (if activated), or an email newsletter, the friendly, knowledgeable, and community-focused voice should be consistent. Develop a simple style guide if multiple people are writing copy.
