• •Exceptional Customer Experience
• •Community Engagement
• •Education and Empowerment
• •Ethical & Sustainable Practices

Best Practices

• •Create a Brand Voice Chart: Develop an internal document that defines the brand's personality with "We are..." and "We are not..." columns (e.g., "We are: Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful." "We are not: Elitist, clinical, pushy."). Share this with everyone who writes or speaks on behalf of the brand.
• •Prioritize Storytelling: Connect with customers on an emotional level by sharing stories. This could be the origin story of the business, heartwarming adoption tales from a partner shelter, or a customer's testimonial about how a product changed their pet's life.
• •Engage, Don't Just Broadcast: Use social media to ask questions, run polls, and feature customers' pets ("Pet of the Week"). Every piece of copy should invite a conversation, reinforcing the community-focused value.
• •Lead with Empathy and Benefits: Frame all communication from the pet owner's perspective. Instead of just listing a product's features, explain the benefit to the pet and the emotional reward for the owner (e.g., "This dental chew's ridges clean teeth" becomes "Give them a happy, healthy smile and banish bad doggy breath with this tasty dental chew").
• •Be Visually Consistent: The friendly, sunny, and expert tone should be reflected in the visual branding. Use high-quality, authentic photos of happy pets and people (not just generic stock photos) and maintain a consistent color palette that evokes the warmth of Florida.

Social Perception

The goal is to build a reputation for being the go-to local expert that genuinely cares.
