Brand Tone

Enthusiastic, Passionate, Community-Oriented, Expert/Knowledgeable, Direct & Sales-Oriented (but needs improvement in Customer Service consistency)

Brand Values

• •Passion for Baseball/Softball
• •Performance & Quality
• •Comprehensive Selection
• •Player Development
• •Accessibility (Price & Location)

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly document the desired tone (enthusiastic, expert, supportive, community-focused), key messaging points, and even words/phrases to use or avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Prioritize Customer-Centric Language: Focus on how products and services benefit the player. Use "you" and "your" to make the copy relatable. Instead of just listing features, explain the advantages for their game.
• •Be Authentic and Passionate: Let genuine enthusiasm for baseball and softball shine through. Share stories, player successes (with permission), and tips that show a deep understanding and love for the sport.
• •Ensure Consistency Across All Channels: The tone used on social media should match the website copy, email newsletters, and even in-store signage and interactions. Regular audits can help maintain this consistency.
• •Listen and Adapt (But Stay True to Core Values): Monitor customer feedback and social media conversations to understand how the brand is perceived. Address concerns transparently and professionally, aligning responses with the desired helpful and expert tone. While adapting to feedback, ensure the core values of passion for the game and commitment to quality remain central.
