Best Practices

• •Develop a Clear Brand Voice Guide: Document the desired tone (expert yet approachable, supportive, professional), key messaging points, preferred terminology (and terms to avoid), and examples of on-brand copy. This should be shared with anyone creating content.
• •Prioritize the Customer: Frame communications around customer needs and how Cue Components can help them achieve their goals. Use 'you' and 'your' frequently and empathetically.
• •Be Authentically Passionate: Let the genuine enthusiasm for billiards and cue making shine through. Share knowledge and insights in a way that empowers rather than dictates.
• •Ensure Consistency Across All Channels: The tone used on the website should match the tone in email communications, on the eBay store, and in any forum interactions or future social media. Regular audits can help maintain this.
• •Listen and Adapt (Slightly): While maintaining a core tone, pay attention to customer feedback and the language they use. This can help refine communication to better resonate with the target audience, without losing the established brand personality. Be open to evolving the tone as the new brand identity solidifies.

Social Perception

The eBay store's high ratings suggest a consistent positive perception regarding product quality and transaction efficiency. The new ownership brings an opportunity to reshape the broader brand perception. The proactive communication from the new owner on forums about prioritizing customer service has likely been received positively by the community. There's an anticipation for the brand to maintain its product strengths while delivering an improved and more approachable service experience. Building trust and demonstrating a clear break from past negative associations will be key.
