Brand Tone

Aspirational & Empowering, Friendly & Approachable, Personal & Authentic, Trendy & Chic

Brand Values

• •Female Empowerment & Self-Expression: Fashion as a tool for women to express their authenticity and feel good about themselves.
• •Legacy & Heritage: Honoring a family history of entrepreneurial women in apparel.
• •Authenticity: Celebrating real stories and the "beautifully imperfect journey we call life."
• •Customer Connection & Community: Striving to build a positive community around the brand. (Though recent customer service issues challenge this value in practice for some).
• •Passion for Fashion: A deep love for style and its transformative power.

Best Practices

• •Always Circle Back to "Why": Before writing, remember the core mission – empowering women and celebrating authenticity. Let this purpose infuse the language.
• •Use "You-Focused" Language: Speak directly to the customer and her aspirations, feelings, and needs (e.g., "your unique silhouette," "help you shine").
• •Maintain a Positive and Uplifting Voice: Even when discussing challenges (like the founder's personal story or scaling back operations), frame it with honesty and a forward-looking, positive perspective.
• •Embrace Storytelling: Weave in the brand's heritage and the founder's journey where appropriate to build connection and reinforce authenticity.
• •Be Mindful of Current Perceptions (and address them if necessary, though not directly in every piece of copy): While the aim is to project the ideal brand tone, being aware of existing negative feedback is crucial. For internal strategy, this means ensuring operational improvements to align actions with words. For external copy, it means consistently reinforcing the positive values the brand *strives* for, and if addressing issues, doing so with transparency and a commitment to resolution (as seen in their "Review Assistance" page).

Social Perception

Many customers are attracted to the trendy clothing, stylish offerings, and the brand's empowering message. They appreciate the aesthetic and the idea of supporting a business with a personal story. However, A growing number of customers report serious issues with order fulfillment, customer service responsiveness, and communication, particularly regarding "Jo and Co Goods" / "joandcompany". This has led to significant frustration and a perception of a lack of accountability, with some customers feeling ignored while the brand continues to promote new items. This negative perception is prominent on platforms like Reddit and the BBB. The existence of multiple businesses named "Jo & Co" in different sectors (fashion, home, food) can dilute brand identity and make it harder for customers to find the specific entity or relevant reviews.
