Brand Values

• •Fairness
• •Quality/Authenticity
• •Accessibility/Affordability
• •Customer Enablement
• •Local Focus
• •Efficiency

Best Practices

• •Prioritize "Fair Value" Language: Consistently use terms like "fair price," "wholesale," "value," "affordable," and "best price" to reinforce this core proposition, but balance it by always mentioning quality and genuine brands to avoid sounding "cheap."
• •Emphasize Local Connection: Regularly incorporate "NZ," "Kiwi," "New Zealand-based," and "local support" to build trust and resonate with the target market. Ensure shipping information clearly states dispatch from their Auckland warehouse.
• •Be Direct and Solution-Oriented: Get straight to the point in product descriptions and ads. Clearly state what the product does and how it benefits the user (e.g., "diagnose faults quickly," "simplify your workshop life").
• •Maintain a Helpful and Approachable Stance: Even when technical, the language should feel accessible, especially for the DIY segment. Frame information as helpful advice or solutions rather than just a list of specs. Ensure customer service channels are responsive to back this up.
• •Use a Consistent Voice Across Platforms: While social media can be slightly more informal (e.g., with emojis on Facebook), the core messaging about value, quality, and local support should remain consistent with the website and any other marketing materials. Avoid overly technical jargon on platforms aimed at a broader audience unless specifically targeting experts.

Social Perception

Generally Positive, Especially on Trade Me. Reliable Supplier of Specialized Tools. Concerns about Post-Sale Communication. Online-Focused Entity. Growing but Not Yet a Major Recognizable Brand.
