Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of the brand tone (e.g., motivational, community-focused, energetic, confident), including approved vocabulary, a "do's and don'ts" list for language, and examples. This ensures everyone creating content is aligned.
• •Embrace the "Hustle" & "Community" Keywords: Consistently integrate core brand terms like "hustle," "crew," "family," "cartel" (in its positive, group-effort connotation) into copy across all platforms to reinforce brand identity and values.
• •Speak Directly to the "Why": Connect the apparel to the customer's goals and aspirations. Focus on how the gear supports their fitness journey, dedication, and desire to be part of a supportive community.
• •Maintain a Confident and Empowering Stance: Use strong verbs and affirmative language. The copy should make the customer feel capable and motivated. Avoid hesitant or overly passive language.
• •Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy aligns with the visual elements used in social media and on the website. If images are bold and energetic, the copy should match that intensity and motivational spirit. For instance, TikTok content often uses trending sounds and dynamic visuals, and the copy should complement this.
