Best Practices

• •Define and Commit to a Core Identity: BumbleToys needs to decide if its primary identity is a curator/creator of "handmade wooden toys" or a general retailer of "all original brand" toys. This choice will dictate the genuine tone. The current dual approach is confusing.
• •Develop Comprehensive Brand Guidelines: Create a detailed document outlining the brand's voice, tone, style, and values. This should include approved vocabulary, phrases to avoid, and visual guidelines. Share this with everyone involved in content creation.
• •Align Product Offering with Messaging: If the brand wants to be perceived as a provider of handmade, eco-friendly toys, its featured products and marketing efforts must predominantly reflect this. Highlighting mainstream plastic toys while a_spiring_ to an artisanal image creates a credibility gap.
• •Audience-Specific Tailoring (with core consistency): While the core tone should remain consistent, slight adjustments can be made for different platforms (e.g., slightly more playful on Instagram, more direct in email marketing). However, the fundamental values and voice should always shine through. This is only effective once a primary identity is chosen.
• •Regular Audits and Training: Periodically review all communications (website copy, social media, ads, customer service responses) to ensure they align with the brand guidelines. Provide ongoing training for team members on maintaining brand consistency. If customer reviews frequently mention a disconnect between what's advertised and what's received, this is a critical area to address.

Social Perception

The social perception is likely confused or divided due to the conflicting messaging and product offerings.
