• •Community
• •Passion for the Sport
• •Value (Closeouts)
• •Innovation (Custom Gear, Exclusives)

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Passion: Let genuine enthusiasm for softball and baseball shine through. Use vivid, energetic language that resonates with players.
• •Be Confident and Authoritative (But Back It Up): Share expert knowledge and product insights confidently. Avoid wishy-washy language. However, ensure claims are accurate and supported.
• •Know Your Slang (But Use it Wisely): Incorporate common softball/baseball terminology and player slang where appropriate, especially on social media, to show you're part of the community. Avoid overdoing it or using it incorrectly.
• •Maintain a Direct & Action-Oriented Approach: Use clear calls to action. Be straightforward in product descriptions and promotional messaging. Focus on benefits and performance.
• •Listen and Adapt (Slightly): While maintaining a core bold tone, monitor social media feedback. If the 'bluntness' consistently alienates a significant portion of the desired audience without a clear strategic reason, consider subtle refinements to be more 'direct and helpful' rather than 'direct and dismissive.' The core confidence should remain, but the delivery can be fine-tuned.
