Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Create a document outlining the key elements of your brand tone (e.g., supportive, aspirational), preferred vocabulary, "do's and don'ts" for communication, and examples. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Understand Your Audience Deeply: Consistently speak the language of your target audience (students). Address their pain points (e.g., stress, disorganization) and aspirations (e.g., good grades, future career) with empathy and understanding.
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Whether it's website copy, email newsletters, product descriptions, or any future social media, ensure the tone remains uniform. This builds recognition and trust.
• •Focus on Benefits, Not Just Features: While describing what your journals *are* (features), emphasize what they *do* for the student (benefits – e.g., "achieve better grades," "reduce stress," "feel more in control"). This naturally aligns with a supportive and aspirational tone.
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically review your copy and communications to ensure they still align with your intended brand tone and resonate with your audience. Solicit feedback if possible to see how your tone is being perceived.
