Brand Tone

Product-Focused (Global SHAD): Innovative, engineered, high-quality, adventurous, practical, stylish. SHADUSA (US Distributor) - Online Communication: Enthusiastic & Passionate, Community-Oriented, Informative & Helpful (Product Info)

Brand Values

• •Innovation & Design Excellence: Highlighted by expandable cases, patented systems (3P, 4P, TERRA Lock System), and design awards.
• •Quality & Durability: Emphasis on materials, construction, and weather resistance.
• •Functionality & Practicality: Focus on storage solutions that enhance the riding experience for various needs like touring and commuting.
• •Adventure & Rider Lifestyle: Social media content often depicts riders exploring and enjoying their journeys with SHAD gear.
• •Engineering Prowess: "Engineered for Riding."

Best Practices

• •Acknowledge and Address Service Concerns (Internally First, then Subtly in Comms): While copywriting focuses on product, the underlying service issues tarnish the brand. Future communications should subtly build trust by emphasizing reliability not just of the product, but the *experience* (once internal processes are improved to back this up). *Avoid making claims about service speed or ease of direct purchase until these are verifiably excellent.*
• •Focus on "Adventure & Freedom" with a "Reliability" Backbone: Continue to inspire riders with images and stories of adventure, but always tie it back to the dependable, engineered quality of SHAD products that makes these adventures possible and worry-free.
• •Highlight "Innovation & Design": Consistently mention award-winning designs, patented systems (like TERRA Lock, 3P/4P mounts, expandable cases), and the "Engineered for Riding" philosophy. This reinforces the premium and smart nature of the products.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Rider Experiences: Leverage user-generated content (#shadrider, #shadadventure) more strategically in marketing materials. Authentic rider stories and visuals are powerful endorsements. Ensure that the tone of sharing this content is appreciative and engaging.
• •Maintain a Professional yet Enthusiastic Voice: The tone should be knowledgeable and clearly articulate product benefits (professional) while also conveying a genuine passion for motorcycling and exploration (enthusiastic). Avoid overly casual slang but keep the language accessible and exciting. Ensure all customer-facing communication, even beyond marketing copy (e.g., automated emails, support responses – when improved), aligns with this tone.

Social Perception

Positive (SHAD Products): Motorcyclists generally hold SHAD products in high regard for their quality, innovation, and utility. They are seen as a premium and reliable choice for motorcycle luggage. Negative (SHADUSA Customer Service): There's a widely documented negative perception of SHADUSA's customer service, with numerous complaints about communication, order fulfillment, and returns when dealing directly with the US distributor.
