Best Practices

• •Embrace "Comradery": Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "your crew"). Tell stories that involve shared experiences and friendships. Highlight the people behind the brand and the customers using the gear.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Durability: Instead of just saying "durable," describe the materials (e.g., "heavy-duty 18oz canvas"), the construction ("reinforced stitching"), and the lifetime guarantee/repair program. Use active, evocative language that speaks to resilience.
• •Keep it Grounded and Authentic: While aspirational imagery is good, ensure the copy remains down-to-earth. Reflect the founders' genuine passion and Eagle Scout heritage. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a specific benefit clearly.
• •Weave in "Made in South Dakota/USA" Naturally: This is a key value. Mention it proudly but integrate it as part of the quality and values story, not just a standalone fact. Connect it to supporting local craftspeople and American manufacturing.
• •Balance Adventure with Everyday Utility: While the brand is "Adventure Supply," showcase the versatility of the products for both epic journeys and daily tasks. This broadens appeal and reflects how customers actually use the gear (e.g., for groceries, beach trips, etc.). Use visuals and copy that reflect this balance.
