• •Awareness

Best Practices

• •Focus on the "Why": Always circle back to the core mission: the safety and recognition of tow operators. This "why" (protecting lives, respecting the profession) should infuse all messaging.
• •Use "Hero" and "Community" Language: Consistently use terms that elevate and unite the target audience, such as "Tow Heroes," "roadside heroes," "towing family," and "community."
• •Prioritize the Safety Message: The "Slow Down Move Over" (SDMO) message is central. Integrate it naturally and frequently. Explain *why* it's important – to prevent injuries and fatalities.
• •Be Direct and Action-Oriented: Use clear, unambiguous language, especially in calls to action related to safety or showing support. Phrases like "Demand Respect," "Protect Them," "Make a Difference" can be effective.
• •Acknowledge the Controversy (Internally) and Navigate Carefully (Externally): While the brand name is established, be mindful of its potential to alienate or offend. In external communications, focus on the positive aspects of safety, professionalism, and community within the towing industry. Avoid directly engaging in or perpetuating comparisons that could be seen as inflammatory. The goal is to advocate for tow operator safety, not to engage in wider political debates unrelated to that core mission. Emphasize the "Thin Yellow Line" as a symbol specific to their cause of roadside safety.
