Brand Tone

Casual, Relatable, and Expressive

Brand Values

• •Self-Expression
• •Individuality/Personalization
• •Accessibility
• •Current Trends/Themes

Best Practices

• •Develop an "About Us" Page: Craft a brief story. Who is "Fordy"? What inspired the shop? Even a short, authentic narrative helps build connection and define values more clearly. This is crucial for customers who want to know more about the brand they're buying from.
• •Use Consistent Language in Product Descriptions: While keeping them clear and concise, inject a bit of the brand's personality (e.g., a touch of humor for funny items, a note of appreciation for family-themed items). Avoid generic, purely descriptive text if possible.
• •Engage with Target Audiences (if social media is developed): If the brand decides to build a social media presence, the tone of interaction (comments, captions) should mirror the casual and relatable style of the products. Respond to comments and messages in a friendly, approachable manner.
• •Ensure Visual Consistency: While designs vary, the overall presentation of products on the website and in any future marketing materials should maintain a consistent aesthetic that reflects the brand's personality (e.g., clean, vibrant, fun).
• •Align Email Marketing (if used): Newsletters, promotions, and order confirmations should also reflect the established brand tone. For example, subject lines could be catchy and casual, and the email body could use similar expressive language to the product copy.

Social Perception

Customer perception often hinges on design uniqueness and appeal, product quality, price and value, and customer service and shipping. The lack of a strong, distinct brand narrative or visible social engagement means perception is likely tied directly to the individual product designs that customers encounter.
