Brand Tone

Expert/Authoritative, Passionate, Trustworthy/Reliable, Direct/Informative

Brand Values

• •Quality: Sourcing high-quality koi directly from reputable Japanese breeders is a core offering.
• •Health & Wellbeing (of Koi): Emphasis on quarantine, disease testing (KHV), and providing extensive care information highlights their commitment to the health of the fish.
• •Customer Trust & Satisfaction: The live arrival guarantee, detailed policies, and responsive customer service (email contact provided) aim to build trust. Positive customer experiences shared online reinforce this.
• •Expertise & Education: Sharing knowledge through blog posts and detailed koi information educates hobbyists.
• •Community/Engagement: The "Sakai Grow Out Contest" fosters a sense of community among koi enthusiasts.

Best Practices

• •Develop Comprehensive Brand Voice Guidelines: Document the brand's tone (Expert, Passionate, Trustworthy, Informative), personality traits, and specific language to use (and avoid). Provide clear examples.
• •Prioritize Expertise and Accuracy: Ensure all content, especially educational material and product descriptions, is factually correct and showcases deep knowledge of koi and their care.
• •Emphasize Quality and Health: Consistently highlight the Japanese origin, breeder reputation, quarantine procedures, and KHV testing in relevant communications.
• •Maintain Transparency and Trust: Clearly communicate guarantees, shipping policies, and be open about the sourcing of the koi. Use authentic customer testimonials where possible.
• •Adapt Tone for Platform but Keep Voice Core: While the core voice remains expert and trustworthy, the tone can be slightly adapted. For instance, Instagram might use more evocative language with stunning visuals, while a blog post will be more detailed and instructional. However, the underlying expertise and passion should always shine through.
