Brand Tone

Artisanal, Traditional, and Professional

Brand Values

• •Craftsmanship & Quality
• •Tradition & Heritage
• •Customer Service & Personalization
• •Innovation & Technology

Best Practices

• •Segment Your Audience: Clearly distinguish marketing communications. Create separate email lists and social media strategies for "Artisan Goods" customers versus "3D Printing" followers to avoid mixed messaging.
• •Unify the "Innovation" Theme: Bridge the gap between the two brand identities. Frame the artisan business as "innovation in tradition" (using modern tools like lasers to personalize classic crafts) and the YouTube channel as "innovation in technology." This creates a shared core value.
• •Establish a Core Voice: Decide if the primary brand persona is the "Master Craftsman" or the "Tech Enthusiast." This primary voice should be the default for the main website and official communications, while the other can be a sub-brand for its specific platform (YouTube).
• •Create a Keyword Glossary: Develop a list of on-brand words for each business segment. For artisan goods, use terms like "handcrafted," "heirloom," "authentic," "pewter," "hardwood," and "bespoke." For tech content, use "in-depth review," "performance," "comparison," "3D printing," and "troubleshooting."
• •Audit and Align: Regularly review all public-facing contentfrom the website's privacy policy to YouTube video descriptionsto ensure the tone is appropriate for the platform and aligns with the overarching brand strategy. For example, the friendly, casual tone of YouTube should not bleed into the professional, quality-focused tone of the product guarantee page.

Social Perception

Perceived as a positive, niche, reliable, and high-quality artisan shop for handcrafted goods, with a separate established authority in the 3D printing community.
