Brand Tone

Promotional and Direct, Value-Oriented, Approachable/Friendly (in interactions), Informative

Brand Values

• •Affordability/Value
• •Accessibility
• •Service (Stated)
• •Variety/Range
• •Practicality

Best Practices

• •Focus on "Affordable Quality": Consistently balance the message of good prices with an assurance of reasonable quality and durability for the price point. Avoid over-promising on luxury if the main selling point is value.
• •Be Transparent and Honest: If there are stock limitations, potential delivery lead times, or specific material details, communicate them clearly. This builds trust, especially given past feedback on delivery and quality.
• •Maintain a Helpful and Responsive Voice in Interactions: Even if main ad copy is promotional, ensure that responses to inquiries and complaints on social media are empathetic, timely, and solution-oriented. This directly impacts social perception.
• •Highlight Solutions and Customer Benefits: Instead of just listing features (e.g., "made of pine wood"), explain the benefit ("Sturdy pine wood construction for lasting use"). For promotions, focus on how they help the customer (e.g., "Makes your dream home more attainable").
• •Develop a Style Guide for Common Phrases and Responses: Create a document outlining key brand messages, preferred terminology (e.g., "value" vs. "cheap"), and standard responses to common questions or issues. This ensures consistency across different team members or platforms. For instance, how to address a delivery delay query, or how to highlight payment plans.
