Brand Values

• •Nostalgia
• •Trendiness/Relevance
• •Quality (Claimed)
• •Customer Experience (Claimed)

Best Practices

• •Create a Brand Voice Chart: Document key tone characteristics (e.g., Nostalgic, Edgy, Playful), 'words we use,' 'words we avoid,' and examples. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Immerse in Y2K Culture: Regularly consume media from the late 90s/early 2000s (music, movies, slang) and current Y2K trend discussions to keep the language authentic and relevant.
• •Use Emojis and Youthful Language (Authentically): Incorporate emojis and slang that resonate with the Y2K vibe and target audience, but avoid forced or outdated terms. The website already uses emojis like 🔥 and 💯.
• •Focus on the 'Why': Connect product features to the feelings and values of the Y2K era – freedom, optimism, individuality, and fun. For example, 'It's more than just low-rise jeans; it's the confidence they came with.'
• •Review and Refine Regularly: Periodically audit website copy, social media posts, and ads to ensure consistency with the defined brand tone and to check for any disconnect based on genuine customer feedback (especially negative reviews from external sites). Adapt as the trend evolves.

Social Perception

Polarized: Positive (Website & Y2K Trend Enthusiasts) & Negative/Skeptical (Review Platforms)
