Brand Tone

Direct and Informative, Value-Oriented, Heritage-Conscious (Borrowed), No-Frills

Brand Values

• •Transparency (regarding product nature)
• •Value Provision
• •Authenticity (of brand)
• •Practicality

Best Practices

• •Always Be Transparent: Clearly state if an item is "irregular," what that entails (potential for flaws), its country of origin (especially if not USA-made, given the main brand's image), and the final sale nature of irregulars. This builds trust despite the product imperfections.
• •Emphasize Value and Authenticity: Highlight that customers are getting authentic Round House® branded apparel at a reduced price. The value proposition is key for an outlet.
• •Use Direct and Simple Language: Avoid jargon or overly embellished descriptions. A straightforward, no-frills tone aligns with the practical nature of workwear and the outlet model.
• •Manage Expectations Clearly: Especially for "irregular" items, be explicit that they come with flaws and are sold "AS IS." This preempts dissatisfaction. Reinforce the "wearable" aspect despite imperfections.
• •Subtly Leverage Heritage (with care): While the Outlet's products differ, acknowledging the broader Round House legacy of durable workwear can add credibility. However, be careful not to misrepresent the Outlet's specific offerings (e.g., by over-emphasizing "Made in USA" if it doesn't apply to the majority of items). The connection is to the brand's existence and name, less so to the identical manufacturing promise of the main line.
