Best Practices

• •Develop a Central Brand Voice Document: This guide should clearly define Taeillo’s tone (aspirational, culturally proud, innovative, customer-focused, conscious), key messaging points, preferred vocabulary (and words to avoid), and provide examples of "on-brand" and "off-brand" copy. This ensures everyone writing for the brand is aligned.
• •Always Weave in the "Why": Connect product features to Taeillo's core values. Instead of just saying "durable table," explain how its durability comes from quality African wood and skilled local craftsmanship, thus supporting heritage and artisans.
• •Speak to Aspirations, Backed by Reality: While the tone is aspirational, ensure claims about quality, delivery, and customer service are consistently met. The copy should build trust, not create a disconnect between promise and experience. Address the customer service feedback by ensuring a helpful, empathetic, and solution-oriented tone in all communications, especially support channels.
• •Embrace Authentic African Storytelling: Go beyond surface-level cultural references. Share stories of the artisans, the inspiration behind designs (e.g., specific cultural motifs or traditions), and the journey of the materials. Use African names for products thoughtfully, perhaps sharing the meaning or significance.
• •Train and Empower All Communicators: Ensure that not just marketing, but sales, customer service, and social media teams are trained on the brand voice. Consistency across all touchpoints is crucial. The friendly and client-centric tone must be evident when resolving issues, not just when making sales.

Social Perception

Taeillo is widely admired for its vision, design ethos, and cultural impact. However, its reputation is significantly impacted by operational challenges, particularly in customer service and consistent product quality control, leading to a polarized social perception. Focus on the innovative designs, the quality and aesthetic appeal, championing African craftsmanship, forward-thinking use of technology and the woman-led African business.
