Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize 'Wholesome' and 'Trust': These are core differentiators. Every piece of copy should reassure parents and educators about the curated, age-appropriate nature of the books. Use phrases like 'carefully selected,' 'parent-approved,' 'protecting innocence.'
• •Focus on the Positive Impact on Children: Highlight the joy of reading, sparking imagination, and discovery, rather than solely focusing on what's being excluded. Frame it as 'letting kids be kids.'
• •Maintain a Supportive and Encouraging Voice for Schools: Stress the ease of hosting, the no-cost model, and the fundraising benefits. Position SkyTree as a helpful partner.
• •Be Clear About Your Niche (Without Being Overly Negative): While the 'alternative' aspect is important, frame it by highlighting your positive values ('rooted in truth,' 'values-aligned') rather than extensively criticizing competitors in every communication. The goal is to attract those who share these values.
• •Tailor Messages to the Audience: Parents: Reassurance, trust, child's enjoyment, moral development. Educators: Ease of use, no cost, educational value, alignment with school community values, fundraising. Donors: Mission impact, protecting children, spreading wholesome literature. Children (indirectly, or on materials they see): Fun, adventure, discovery.

Social Perception

Perceived as a trustworthy alternative providing safe, morally sound books for children, and a way to support schools without compromising values, while some perceive it as a religiously or politically motivated organization aiming to promote a specific conservative Christian ideology and limit exposure to diverse perspectives.
