Best Practices

• •Emphasize Expertise with Approachability: Share knowledge and technical details, but always in a way that is easy to understand and welcoming to newcomers. Avoid overly technical jargon without explanation. For example, 'This new brushless motor offers incredible torque (that's the power to get you moving quick!) and efficiency.'
• •Foster Community in Every Message: Regularly use language that invites interaction and belonging. Ask questions, encourage sharing, and highlight customer experiences (with permission). Refer to 'your fellow hobbyists,' 'our RC family,' or 'the Raleigh Hobby community.'
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Your Passion: Let genuine enthusiasm for the products and the hobby shine through. Use exclamation points appropriately, share staff excitement about new items, and talk about the fun aspects of RC. Instead of 'New car in stock,' try 'We're SO PUMPED about the new [Car Model] that just landed!'
• •Maintain a Helpful and Supportive Stance: Frame communications around solving customer problems or enhancing their enjoyment. Highlight repair services, offer tips, and ensure customers know they can come to you for advice. 'Broken part? Don't shelve your fun! Our repair experts can get you back on track.'
• •Be a Reliable Family-Owned Voice: Consistently remind your audience of your local, family-owned roots. This builds trust and a personal connection. Phrases like 'As your local, family-run hobby shop...' or 'From our family to yours...' can reinforce this aspect.

Social Perception

Positive: Raleigh Hobby and RC is generally perceived positively by its target audience. Customers value the owner's extensive knowledge and the shop's ability to provide parts, repairs, and a good selection of products. It is seen as a dedicated local hobby shop that supports the RC community through service and by being a gathering place. The long-standing presence in the area also contributes to its reputation.
