Best Practices

• •Embrace the Fan Mentality: Write as if you're a genuine fan speaking to other fans – use enthusiastic, inclusive, and passionate language. Understand and use relevant community slang or in-jokes where appropriate (but authentically).
• •Always Weave in Values: Don't just sell a product; sell the story behind it. Subtly (or overtly, where appropriate) mention sustainability, fair production, or quality in product descriptions, social posts, and about sections. Use emojis like 🤘 and 🌱 consistently where fitting.
• •Be Approachable and Human: Use "you" and "we" to create a direct connection. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses or team stories occasionally to reinforce the "young team from Rostock" vibe. Keep the language clear, friendly, and avoid overly corporate jargon.
• •Maintain Ethical Clarity: In all communications, ensure the underlying message aligns with the brand's ethical stance. Be transparent about processes and be prepared to speak out on values, as demonstrated in the past.
• •Adapt for B2B, but Keep Core Intact: When speaking to artists or partners, the tone can be more focused on professionalism, reliability, and the benefits of the 360° service. However, the core values of quality, transparency, and a passion for music/entertainment should still shine through.

Social Perception

As a B2C Merch Shop: Customers likely perceive Merchroadie as a source for official, high-quality, and ethically produced fan merchandise. The strong emphasis on sustainability and fairness would appeal to conscious consumers. The modern aesthetic and artist collaborations build a "cool" factor. As a B2B Service Provider (for Artists): Artists and partners likely see Merchroadie as a reliable, full-service partner for creating and selling merchandise, with the added benefits of sustainable practices and on-demand production reducing risk. Their collaborations with various artists and events suggest trustworthiness. General Public/Industry: Their public actions, like ceasing collaboration with Michael Wendler and supporting social initiatives, contribute to a perception of an ethical and responsible company. Their model of on-demand production is also seen as a sustainable business practice.
