Brand Values

• •Effectiveness & Performance
• •Problem Solving
• •Authenticity & Transparency
• •Community Focus (especially BJJ/Active Lifestyles)
• •Quality
• •No Gimmicks

Best Practices

• •Speak Your Customer's Language: Use terminology, humor, and references that resonate with the target audience (e.g., BJJ terms like "roll," "gi," "rashie," "tap out"; general fitness terms). Understand their specific pain points (the "permafunk").
• •Embrace Relatable Humor: Keep the tone light and empathetic. Acknowledge the (sometimes embarrassing) problem of smelly gear with a knowing wink, not judgment. Use witty phrases like "Our reviews (don't) stink!"
• •Focus on the Solution, Not Just the Problem: While empathizing with the problem is key, quickly pivot to the effectiveness and simplicity of Gear Guard as the definitive solution. Highlight "it actually works."
• •Be Authentic and Transparent: Continue sharing the founder's story and the "why" behind the brand. When discussing the product, be straightforward about what it is (an enzyme booster) and what it isn't (a detergent, a scent cover-up).
• •Maintain Consistency Across Platforms: While the format may change (e.g., short videos on TikTok, more detailed info on the website), the core message, tone (relatable, humorous, problem-solving), and values should remain consistent to build a strong, recognizable brand identity. Ensure visuals align with this tone.
