Best Practices

• •Acknowledge and Address Past Issues (Carefully): While not dwelling on the negative, subtly weaving in messages of improved reliability, faster shipping, and dedicated customer support in marketing communications can help rebuild trust. *Initial focus should be on consistently delivering on these promises before overtly marketing them.*
• •Prioritize Transparency: Be upfront about production times if they are still longer than average, but ensure these are *accurate* and met. If delays occur, proactive and honest communication is crucial.
• •Showcase Authentic Customer Success: Actively collect and share positive (and genuine) testimonials and user-generated content that highlights both product satisfaction *and* a smooth purchasing/delivery experience.
• •Maintain an Enthusiastic and Passionate Voice, Tempered with Reliability: Continue to connect with the passion of drummers, but ensure the excitement is backed by dependable service. The tone should be confident but not arrogant, especially given past criticisms.
• •Be Responsive and Empathetic in All Communications: Ensure that customer service interactions, social media replies, and all public-facing text reflect a brand that listens, cares, and is committed to resolving issues fairly and efficiently. This directly counters the widespread negative perception of their current customer service.

Social Perception
