Brand Tone

eerie, enchanting, mystical, dark, and whimsical-macabre

Brand Values

• •Individuality and Self-Expression
• •Passion for the Aesthetic
• •Community Building
• •Uniqueness
• •Enchantment & Mystique

Best Practices

• •Develop a Comprehensive Tone Guide: Create an internal document that clearly defines the brand's voice, including acceptable and unacceptable words/phrases, common themes, and the desired emotional response from the audience. For a brand like Mermaid Venom, this would include terms related to mysticism, gothic romance, playful horror, and enchantment.
• •Immerse in the Niche: Understand the subcultures the brand caters to (gothic, witchy, horror enthusiasts). Use authentic language, references, and symbolism that resonate deeply with this audience without appearing stereotypical or uninformed. This includes staying updated on community vernacular and interests.
• •Storytelling through Descriptions: Instead of just listing product features, weave a small narrative or evoke a specific atmosphere with each product description. Use sensory language to paint a picture that aligns with the eerie and enchanting brand identity.
• •Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy perfectly complements the visual aesthetics used on the website and social media. Dark, mystical visuals should be paired with equally evocative and thematic text.
• •Consistent Voice Across All Channels: Maintain the defined brand tone in every piece of communication – from website copy and product descriptions to social media posts, email marketing, and even customer service interactions (though for Mermaid Venom, improving the latter in practice is critical and separate from just tone). This consistency builds a stronger, more recognizable brand identity.

Social Perception

highly polarized and problematic. The brand's aesthetic and product selection resonate with its niche target audience interested in gothic, witchy, and alternative styles. The visual branding and thematic content are likely attractive to these consumers. However, a large volume of online customer reviews and forum discussions paint a picture of an untrustworthy business, leading to confusion and mistrust.
