Brand Values

• •Quality Craftsmanship
• •American Made
• •Family Business Ethos
• •Customer Satisfaction (within their capacity)
• •Tradition & Expertise

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Family-Owned, American Made" Narrative: Always lean into the story of a small, dedicated US business that takes pride in its craft. This justifies the "hand-crafted" quality and can help manage expectations regarding production times.
• •Use Genuine, Passionate Language: Write like an experienced angler talking to another angler. Share knowledge, tips, and enthusiasm for the sport. Avoid overly corporate or slick marketing speak.
• •Be Transparent and Honest (with a touch of humor where appropriate): If there are production delays, be upfront about it, perhaps with a lighthearted touch like the "grumpy customer fee" joke. This builds trust and relatability.
• •Focus on Quality and Effectiveness: Continuously highlight the superior materials (e.g., "genuine silver," "tarnished brass") and the proven fish-catching ability of the lures. Let the results and craftsmanship speak.
• •Maintain a Helpful, Community-Oriented Voice: Encourage interaction, answer questions thoroughly (even if it's directing them to call for complex queries), and show appreciation for customer loyalty and their fishing successes. Make them feel part of the R & B Lures family.

• •Product Description Snippet (for a "White Silver" finish lure): Our legendary 'White Silver' finish – it's not just a coating, it's a fish magnet. We do it the old-fashioned way, right here in Oregon, because nothing reflects light quite like it. When others go dark underwater, this one keeps shining. You won't find it anywhere else, and the fish definitely notice.
• •About Us Page Excerpt: We're not some faceless corporation. We're a small family team, hands-on, making lures we fish with ourselves. Yeah, sometimes the order queue gets long during peak season (thanks for loving our stuff!), but we reckon quality you can rely on is worth a little patience. Give us a call or drop a line on Facebook – we're always happy to talk tackle.
• •Email to a customer inquiring about an order delay: Hey [Customer Name], thanks for reaching out. Rob and the family are working hard to get all orders, including yours, crafted and shipped.

We really appreciate your patience – we promise they’re worth the wait!
