Best Practices

• •Create a Brand Voice Chart: Develop a document that clearly defines the brand's tone (e.g., "We are encouraging, not intimidating. We are knowledgeable, not elitist. We are enthusiastic, not hyperbolic."). Include "do's and don'ts" for language.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to. For Mountain Warehouse, this means addressing families, casual adventurers, and budget-conscious consumers. The language should resonate with their needs and aspirations.
• •Focus on Benefits, Not Just Features: While product features are important, emphasize how these features benefit the customer's adventure, comfort, or budget (e.g., "Taped seams mean you stay dry and happy on the trail," not just "Taped seams").
• •Use "You" and "Your": Address the customer directly to make the copy more personal, engaging, and focused on their experience (e.g., "You'll love the warmth of this fleece," "Your kids will stay protected...").
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: Whether it's a tweet, a product description, an email, or a billboard, the underlying tone and core messaging should feel familiar and aligned with the Mountain Warehouse brand. Regular internal reviews and training can help achieve this.

Social Perception

Generally perceived as a reliable source for affordable outdoor clothing and equipment. Popular among families, casual hikers, campers, and those new to outdoor activities. Seen as a good value-for-money alternative to more premium, specialized outdoor brands. Some more "serious" or "hardcore" outdoor enthusiasts may opt for higher-priced, specialist brands for extreme conditions, but Mountain Warehouse is respected for its niche. The brand is seen as widely available and convenient due to its numerous physical stores and strong online presence.
