Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key characteristics of your tone (e.g., nostalgic, passionate, trustworthy, fun), provide examples of do's and don'ts, and list preferred terminology (e.g., "classic" vs. "old," "enthusiast" vs. "customer").
• •Immerse in the Subject Matter: Ensure copywriters genuinely understand and appreciate retro gaming. This passion will naturally infuse the writing with authenticity. Use language and references that resonate with fellow enthusiasts.
• •Prioritize Storytelling and Emotion: Connect with the audience by evoking memories, highlighting the joy of discovery, and celebrating the shared history of gaming. Don't just list features; explain the experience.
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: The tone used on the website should match the tone on Instagram, TikTok, email newsletters, and customer service interactions. Regular audits can help maintain this consistency.
• •Focus on "You" and "We": Use "you" to speak directly to the customer and their experiences. Use "we" to emphasize the shared passion and the human element behind the brand, fostering a sense of community.
