Brand Tone

Professional, Reassuring, and Value-Driven

Brand Values

• •Safety and Protection
• •Affordability
• •Quality and Durability
• •Experience and Expertise
• •Customer-Centricity

Best Practices

• •Always Lead with "Tough at Rough": Use this slogan as a consistent anchor in messaging. It’s short, memorable, and perfectly encapsulates the brand's core promise of durability.
• •Balance Professionalism with Value: Write in a clear, professional tone that builds trust, but always circle back to the core message of affordability and value. Use phrases like "cost-effective," "heavily discounted," and "smart investment."
• •Highlight Certification and Experience: In product descriptions and brand messaging, consistently mention compliance with safety standards (e.g., EN471) and the team's extensive experience to reinforce credibility and trust.
• •Speak Directly to the Target Audience: Address the specific needs and challenges of business owners and trade professionals. Use language that shows you understand their environment, such as "managing overheads," "demanding workdays," and "protecting your crew."
• •Use Testimonials and Ratings as Proof: Leverage the excellent eBay feedback in marketing materials. Phrases like "Trusted by thousands of tradespeople" or "Join over 45,000 satisfied customers" can be powerful social proof to build confidence with new buyers.
