Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document key characteristics of the DapperTime voice (e.g., aspirational, confident, value-conscious, playful yet sophisticated). Include approved vocabulary, "words to avoid," and examples of on-brand and off-brand copy.
• •Focus on "Affordable Luxury" and "Effortless Style": Consistently weave in messaging that highlights the combination of stylish, gentlemanly aesthetics with accessible price points. Use phrases like "look sharp without breaking the bank" or "premium style, practical price."
• •Speak to the "Dapper Gentleman": Address the target audience directly using language that resonates with their desire for style, confidence, and smart choices. Use empowering and slightly aspirational terms.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Cohesion: Ensure that the imagery used alongside copy (e.g., on social media, website banners) reflects the same dapper, stylish, and modern aesthetic conveyed in the text.
• •Review and Iterate: Regularly review all customer-facing copy (website, ads, social media, emails) to ensure it aligns with the defined brand tone and values. Gather feedback and make adjustments as the brand evolves.
