Brand Tone

Statement-Oriented/Expressive, Casual and Approachable, Practical and Informative, Slightly Quirky/Nostalgic

Brand Values

• •Self-Expression and Individuality
• •Quality
• •Inclusivity
• •Mindful Consumption/Sustainability
• •Customer Service

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Brand Voice Chart": Create a simple chart with columns: "Our Voice Is..." (e.g., Expressive, Casual, Quirky, Practical) and "Our Voice Is Not..." (e.g., Generic, Overly Formal, Mainstream, Vague). This helps all writers understand the boundaries.
• •Prioritize "Making a Statement": For every piece of copy, ask: "How does this help our customer express themselves or make a statement?" This keeps the core value front and center.
• •Embrace Storytelling (even in short copy): Weave in the "voracious reader, devoted daydreamer" persona where appropriate. Use slightly nostalgic or witty phrasing reminiscent of the "Burma Shave" inspiration when fitting.
• •Balance Quirky with Clarity: While the brand has a quirky edge, ensure product descriptions and calls to action are clear, practical, and provide the necessary information (materials, benefits, made-on-demand info).
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically review website copy, product descriptions, and social media posts to ensure they still align with the defined tone and values, especially as new products are added.
