Best Practices

• •Always Reinforce the Alabama Power Connection: Use phrases like "Smart Neighbor, an Alabama Power company," or "Powered by Alabama Power" to build on existing trust and authority.
• •Highlight Tangible Benefits: Focus on how products help customers save money (lower energy bills, promotional pricing), save time, or live more comfortably and conveniently.
• •Keep Language Clear and Accessible: Avoid overly technical jargon. Explain the advantages of smart technology and energy efficiency in ways that everyone can understand.
• •Be Authoritative yet Approachable: Convey expertise in energy and appliances, but maintain a friendly, neighborly tone that invites questions and engagement.
• •Visually Align with Trust and Modernity: Use clean, high-quality images of products and, where appropriate, lifestyle imagery that reflects modern, comfortable, and efficient homes. Ensure branding is consistent across the website and social media (even with the dual naming).

Social Perception

Largely seen as an extension of Alabama Power, a known and established entity. Perceived as a source for energy-efficient appliances and convenient financing. The "Smart Neighborhood" projects contribute to a perception of innovation. Online store might have less brand recognition than "Alabama Power Appliance Center". Customer service perception likely tied to Alabama Power's overall reputation.
