Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the defined tone (Knowledgeable, Reliable, Community-Oriented, Friendly) with examples of "do's and don'ts" for all team members who create content.
• •Know Your Audience: Tailor the language to resonate with the Fernie and Kootenay community – be genuine, reflect local understanding, and highlight benefits relevant to their lifestyle (e.g., comfort during cold winters, enhancing outdoor living).
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Whether it's a social media update, website copy, or an email, the underlying tone should remain consistent, building a familiar and trustworthy brand personality.
• •Train Your Team: Ensure everyone interacting with customers or creating content understands and can apply the brand voice. This includes sales staff, social media managers, and customer service representatives.
• •Listen and Adapt (Slightly): While maintaining core consistency, pay attention to customer interactions and feedback. The language can evolve slightly to better connect with the audience, but the fundamental values and tone should remain steadfast. For example, if customers respond well to slightly more casual language on Facebook, embrace it while keeping the core helpful and knowledgeable tone.
