• •Community Support
• •Customer Service/Satisfaction
• •Affordability and Fashion
• •Tradition and Heritage
• •Adaptability/Growth

Best Practices

• •Always keep the local, community-focused heritage in mind. Speak directly to the needs and preferences of a community that values both style and practicality. Use welcoming and familiar language.
• •Highlight the long-standing history and commitment to quality and affordability. This builds on the established trust.
• •Write as if you're having a helpful conversation with a neighbor. Avoid overly formal or jargon-filled language. Be warm and inviting.
• •While "affordable" is a keyword, also focus on the value of comfort, style, friendly service, and supporting a local business.
• •Ensure that any social media posts, in-store signage, and local advertisements echo the same friendly, trusted, and community-oriented tone. If online operations resume, this tone should carry through there as well.
