Brand Tone

knowledgeable, direct, and value-oriented

Brand Values

• •Expertise/Specialization
• •Value/Affordability
• •Longevity/Trust
• •Wide Selection
• •Customer Convenience (Stated)
• •Performance

Best Practices

• •Prioritize "Swimmer-to-Swimmer" Language: Use terminology and address pain points that competitive swimmers and coaches understand (e.g., "shave seconds," "FINA-approved," "split times"). This reinforces expertise.
• •Balance Performance with Value: Consistently highlight both the high-performance nature of the products and the value proposition (competitive pricing, guarantees, sales). Avoid letting one overshadow the other.
• •Be Direct and Benefit-Oriented: Clearly state what the product is and how it benefits the swimmer (e.g., "Minimal drag for maximum range of motion," "Built for power, priced for value").
• •Maintain a Helpful and Approachable Stance: Even when technical, the copy should feel supportive. Phrases like "Need advice?" or "We're here to help" can soften a purely transactional tone, especially important given the customer service feedback.
• •Ensure Consistency Across All Channels: The knowledgeable, value-driven, and supportive tone should be evident on the website, product descriptions, social media posts, email marketing, and crucially, in all customer service communications to bridge the gap between stated values and perceived experience.

Social Perception

polarized, with positive perception for product range and prices, negative perception for customer service, and neutral/functional perception as a place to buy gear
