Brand Tone

Informative, Direct, Assured, Quality-Focused, Helpful, Solution-Oriented, and Enthusiastic (in blog/social content)

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Quality
• •Accessibility/Global Reach
• •Wide Selection/Variety
• •Customer Trust (Aspired)

Best Practices

• •Prioritize Authenticity & Quality in Language: Consistently use words like "genuine," "authentic," "original," "high-quality," and "direct from Japan" to reinforce these core values in all communications, from product descriptions to customer service emails.
• •Be Informative and Clear: Provide detailed, accurate product information. Explain the benefits and origins of products clearly, especially for items unique to Japanese culture or technology. Avoid jargon where possible, or explain it if necessary.
• •Maintain a Helpful and Accessible Stance: Frame copy in a way that shows understanding of customer needs (e.g., accessing products not available elsewhere). Ensure contact information and support channels are easily accessible and that the language used in support interactions is consistently polite and solution-focused, addressing the negative feedback seen in some reviews.
• •Showcase Breadth of Range While Ensuring Credibility: Highlight the wide variety of products available but ensure that each product category feels curated and well-represented, rather than a random assortment. This can be done through organized site navigation and targeted content.
• •Use Consistent Visual and Verbal Cues: Ensure that the visual branding (logo, color scheme, imagery) and the verbal branding (slogan, key phrases) are used consistently across the website, social media, and any marketing materials to build recognition and reinforce the brand identity. The current social media links on the website footer are a good starting point for this.

Social Perception

Mixed: Generally Trusted for Product Authenticity and Seen as a Source for Niche/Specific Japanese Goods, but with some concerns regarding customer service and shipping/delivery issues.
