Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the identified tone (Sophisticated, Authoritative, Personal, Passionate) with examples of preferred words, phrases, and those to avoid. This ensures anyone writing copy understands the desired voice.
• •Prioritize Quality & Craftsmanship in Language: Mirror the quality of the products in the language used. Employ rich vocabulary and descriptive adjectives that evoke elegance, durability, and meticulous construction.
• •Emphasize a Personal, Concierge-Level Approach: Even in general communications, infuse a sense of personal attention. Use phrases like "Allow us to assist," "We're here to guide you," and focus on the customer's individual needs and experience.
• •Educate and Inform, Don't Just Sell: Share knowledge about shoemaking, style, and care. This reinforces authority and provides value beyond the transaction, aligning with the "expert curator" aspect of the brand.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure that the website, any (future or revised) social media, email communications, and even customer service interactions all reflect the same sophisticated, knowledgeable, and service-oriented tone. Regular audits can help maintain this consistency.

Social Perception

A trusted source for high-end, quality men's footwear; an expert in the field of classic men's shoes; a provider of excellent, personalized customer service; a purveyor of exclusive and authentic products.
