Brand Tone

Youthful & Energetic, Hype-Driven & Exclusive, Community-Oriented (locally), Direct & Sales-Focused (online), Casual & Approachable (in-store/founder interviews)

Brand Values

• •Access to Hype
• •Entrepreneurial Spirit
• •Keeping Up with Trends
• •Community Connection (aspirational/local)
• •Growth & Expansion

Best Practices

• •Know Your Slang (But Use it Authentically): Stay updated on current youth and streetwear terminology. Incorporate it naturally where it fits, but avoid forcing it or overusing terms to the point of parody.
• •Emphasize Exclusivity and Urgency: Use language that highlights the limited nature of products ("limited drop," "before they're gone," "exclusive") and encourages quick action ("cop now," "don't miss out").
• •Visual-Verbal Consistency: Ensure the energy and style of the copy match the visuals used in ads and social media. If the visuals are edgy and fast-paced, the copy should reflect that.
• •Community Call-Outs (Local Focus): Regularly incorporate references to Northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville, local events, or relevant local figures (like college sports) to reinforce community connection.
• •Balance Hype with Information: While the tone is hype-driven, ensure essential product information (brand, condition if pre-owned, sizing availability, how to purchase) is clear and easy to find. Address authenticity concerns proactively where possible, especially given the mixed social perception.

Social Perception

Locally Popular & Trendy, Generally Trustworthy (Website), Mixed & Controversial (Online Reselling Platforms/Authenticity), Customer Service Concerns, Awareness of Scrutiny
