• •Showcase Passion and Craftsmanship: Let the founder's enthusiasm for watchmaking shine through. Talk about the meticulous process, attention to detail, and the love for creating something special.
• •Clearly Communicate Value: While stressing quality, always tie it back to the brand's core promise of 'Value at its Finest.' Explain how VanBanner offers premium features and design without excessive cost.
• •Embrace the 'Microbrand Spirit': Connect with the audience by highlighting the independent, small-scale nature of the brand. This fosters a sense of community and authenticity. Mention its Canadian roots.
• •Be Direct and Confident, with a Touch of Playfulness: Adopt a straightforward, honest tone, but don't be afraid to inject some of the creativity and slight quirkiness seen in some designs (like the Parkingmaster's concept or bold lume). Avoid overly corporate or generic language.
