• •Quality & Utility
• •Specialization (POTA)
• •Customer Satisfaction
• •Passion for the Hobby

Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience – Speak Their Language: Use terminology and references that resonate with ham radio operators (e.g., "QSO," "73," "rig," "shack," "POTA," callsigns). This shows you're part of the community.
• •Highlight Quality and Practicality: Emphasize how your products are made to last and serve a real purpose for the enthusiast, whether in the field or in their shack. Use descriptive words that convey durability and usefulness.
• •Be Enthusiastic and Supportive: Let your passion for the hobby shine through. Your copy should feel like it's written by a fellow ham who understands the excitement of an activation or the satisfaction of a well-organized station.
• •Maintain Clarity and Accuracy: While using hobby-specific language, ensure your descriptions are clear, accurate, and provide all necessary information without being overly technical for merchandise-focused copy.
• •Encourage Community and Share Experiences: Where appropriate (e.g., blog posts if started, social media if developed), invite users to share their experiences with your products during their POTA activations or how they use items in their shack. This reinforces the community aspect.
