Best Practices

• •Define Your Voice Clearly: Document the core attributes of your brand voice (e.g., professional yet friendly, creative, expert but not jargon-heavy). Refer to this guide when creating any new content.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to. Tailor the language and complexity to resonate with your target clients (e.g., small business owners, musicians, individuals).
• •Showcase Personality (Authentically): Allow the founder's passion (e.g., for music, local community, specific design styles) to subtly infuse the copy. This makes the brand more relatable and memorable. For Paulson Designs, the connection to music and photography is a strength.
• •Maintain Consistency Across Platforms: While the format might change (e.g., Instagram caption vs. website "About Us"), the core tone and values should remain consistent. A client should feel the same brand personality whether they find you on Twitter, Instagram, or (eventually) your website.
• •Focus on Client Benefits & Solutions: While showcasing creative skill is important, always tie it back to how your design services help the client achieve their goals (e.g., "a website that attracts more customers," "branding that builds trust," "album art that sells music").

Social Perception

Paulson Designs is likely perceived as a small, specialized design service or a freelance operation run by a skilled individual with a distinct creative style. The association with music (Rock Regeneration) and photography might lead to a perception that they have a niche or particular strength in design for creative industries (musicians, artists) and local businesses. The active and professional Instagram presence is the strongest element for building a positive perception of their design capabilities.
