Brand Tone

approachable, transparent, and customer-centric

Brand Values

• •Quality and Curation
• •Competitive Pricing
• •Trustworthiness and Legitimacy
• •Responsiveness
• •Local Focus

Best Practices

• •Prioritize Transparency in All Communications: Always be upfront about business practices. Clearly state that products are sourced from NZ distributors on product pages, in FAQs, and in ad copy. This builds trust and directly counters the primary customer hesitation identified in research.
• •Maintain an "Approachable Expert" Voice: Write copy that is knowledgeable but not exclusionary. Explain tech specs clearly, but frame the benefits in customer-centric terms (e.g., "Experience smoother gameplay" instead of just listing a high refresh rate).
• •Engage Proactively and Personably: Continue the practice of engaging directly with customer feedback, whether positive or negative. Use a personal, non-corporate tone in forums and social media replies to reinforce the brand's human element and commitment to service.
• •Emphasize "Local" and "Fast": Consistently use keywords like "NZ owned," "local stock," "fast shipping," and "Auckland based distributors" across all marketing channels. This creates a strong, memorable differentiator from larger international competitors.
• •Develop a Content Style Guide: Create a simple internal document that outlines the brand's tone (Approachable, Transparent, Customer-Centric) and provides approved copy snippets and messaging points. This ensures that anyone creating content—from website updates to social media posts—does so with a consistent voice.
