• •Affordability
• •Community Enrichment
• •Support for Local Business
• •Passion for Reading
• •Customer Engagement

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly document the desired tone (Community-focused, Value-driven, Encouraging), key messaging points (affordability, local support, joy of reading), and common phrases/words to use or avoid. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Focus on "You" and "We": Address the customer directly ("You") and use inclusive language ("We," "Our community") to foster a sense of connection and shared values, aligning with the community-focused aspect.
• •Highlight Value and Affordability Naturally: Weave in messages about "jaw dropping discounts," "affordable," and "best prices" without sounding overly aggressive. Frame it as enabling more people to read.
• •Emphasize the "Why": Consistently connect product offerings back to the core belief in the positive impact of reading and supporting the local Canadian community. For example, instead of just saying "New books added," try "Nourish your mind with these new arrivals, all part of our mission to make reading accessible to every Canadian."
• •Be Genuinely Enthusiastic and Positive: Let the passion for books and community shine through. Use encouraging language and positive framing, reflecting the "energetic and spirited" individuals behind the brand. Avoid overly formal or impersonal language.

Social Perception

A budget-friendly option for purchasing books. A Canadian-owned business supporting the local economy. A store that genuinely believes in the value of reading. An accessible online platform for a variety of book genres.
