Brand Tone

Promotional, direct, and product-focused, with enthusiasm for music and artists.

Brand Values

• •Artist Support: Providing a platform for bands to sell merchandise.
• •Wide Selection/Convenience: Offering a broad range of products from many artists in one place.
• •Music Fandom: Catering to fans of specific music genres (rock, metal, hardcore, punk, indie).
• •Sustainability (for people): Creating a business that supports its employees.
• •Spiritual/Ethical Roots: Stemming from punk rock ethics and yogic practice.
• •Customer Experience (intended): Policies for size exchange and addressing damaged/lost items suggest an intention for good customer experience.

Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience, Speak Their Language: Use terminology, slang (appropriately), and references that resonate with fans of rock, metal, hardcore, and punk. Show genuine enthusiasm for the music and culture.
• •Be Direct and Action-Oriented: Clearly state what's new, what's on offer, and what you want the customer to do (e.g., "Shop Now," "Pre-Order," "Don't Miss Out").
• •Emphasize Exclusivity and Urgency (where applicable): For limited items or pre-orders, highlight this to encourage prompt action. Words like "Limited," "Exclusive," "Don't Wait," "Before it's gone" can be effective.
• •Showcase the Artist Connection: Continuously reinforce that purchases support the bands. This resonates with the core value of supporting the music scene.
• •Maintain Honesty and Transparency (Crucial for Rebuilding Trust): While the copy should be enthusiastic, ensure product descriptions are accurate, especially for items like vinyl variants where discrepancies have been an issue. Address any potential delays proactively in communication, aligning the promotional tone with operational realities to manage expectations better. If issues are known (like potential pressing plant delays for vinyl), a touch of realistic expectation-setting within the enthusiastic copy could be beneficial.

Social Perception

Mixed to Negative: Reputation is impacted by negative customer experiences. Reliability concerns due to issues with shipping, order accuracy, and product quality. Poor Customer Service Reputation. Essential for Niche Merch. Legacy/Connection to Labels provides legitimacy.
