Best Practices

• •Prioritize Clarity and Simplicity: Avoid overly technical jargon unless addressing a very specific expert audience. Ensure information is easy to understand and actionable. The tone is helpful and straightforward, so clarity is key.
• •Emphasize Irish Identity and Community: Where relevant and natural, weave in the "100% Irish owned" aspect and the brand's connection to the local sports community. This reinforces a core value and differentiator.
• •Maintain an Encouraging and Supportive Voice: Even when being direct about sales or products, the underlying tone should be encouraging of athletic pursuits. Frame products around how they help customers achieve their sporting goals.
• •Focus on Customer Benefits and Solutions: Instead of just listing features, explain how those features benefit the customer (e.g., "Stay dry and comfortable with our advanced moisture-wicking fabric" rather than just "Moisture-wicking fabric"). This aligns with being customer-focused and helpful.
• •Be Authentic and Approachable in Interactions: In customer service responses, social media comments, and even automated messages, maintain a friendly, human, and approachable tone. Avoid overly corporate or robotic language. This supports the trustworthy and community-oriented aspects of the brand.
