Brand Tone

Value-driven, Accessible, Community-focused, Supportive (of local), Enthusiastic, Passionate, Straightforward and Informative

Brand Values

• •Affordability: Making books accessible to a wider audience through competitive pricing.
• •Supporting Canadian Identity/Localism: Positioning themselves as a Canadian alternative to international sellers.
• •Community Enrichment: Believing in the positive impact of reading on individuals and the community.
• •Customer Focus: Implied through seeking feedback via surveys and promising good service (e.g., "faster shipping options").
• •Passion for Reading: Evident in their mission and the quotes about books on their website.

Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Value and Affordability: Continuously weave in phrases related to good prices, discounts, and making reading accessible. This is their primary differentiator.
• •Highlight "Canadian" and "Independent": Remind customers that they are supporting a local, Canadian-owned independent business. This builds a connection with a specific segment of the market.
• •Use Enthusiastic and Positive Language: Reflect the "energetic and spirited" nature of the founders and the joy of reading. Words like "discover," "explore," "amazing," "favourite" can help.
• •Keep it Clear and Straightforward: While enthusiastic, ensure the core message about products, prices, and services is easy to understand. Avoid overly complex jargon.
• •Encourage Community and Engagement: Ask questions, invite participation (like their survey), and use language that fosters a sense of belonging for Canadian readers. For example, "Join our community of Canadian book lovers!"

Social Perception

Customers likely perceive them as a budget-friendly option for purchasing books online within Canada. Those who prioritize supporting Canadian businesses might view them favorably. The "independent bookstore" label might appeal to customers looking for alternatives to large chains. The lack of widespread reviews could mean they are still growing their customer base or that their online presence is more transactional than deeply engaged in broader online book communities at this stage. They are taking steps to understand customer perception through their internal survey.
