Tone Of Voice

Print

Our preferred tone of voice for Samphire Rottnest is:

Welcoming, natural, warm, informal, friendly, non-corporate.

It should reflect the experience guests have at Samphire Rottnest and on the island in general. Think sunny, relaxed, carefree. Print communications should have personality and not be overly polished.All copy should be inclusive rather than exclusive, and approachable rather than pretentious.

Communicate in ways that are knowledgeable but not know-it-all. Be an expert on the destination but never speak over people’s heads.Be inclusive but not generic. Everyone should feel as though they’re welcome at Samphire Rottnest, but that the experience is one of a kind.

At all times the tone should be welcoming, upbeat, helpful, positive and trustworthy, like an outgoing local friend who is always ready to offer recommendations on the hotel and Rottnest Island based on personal experience and insights.

Keep things simple wherever possible.

Use ‘we’ in relation to Samphire Rottnest and ‘you’ in relation to guests. Avoid exclamation marks – the writing should be impactful without them. Capitalisation should be confined to names and brands.

Online

When creating content for the online channels, such as Instagram and Facebook, follow the Print Guidelines, but take the following into account as well.

Focus on emotions, rather than things. The content should express the value and quality of SamphireRottnest, and cater to the visitor’s desire for experiences that create lasting memories.

Have a perspective. Facts are important, but travel is personal. You know Samphire Rottnest, but blend in personality and a fresh perspective. Anyone reading the content should be able to see themselves as part of the story.

Speak to the reader and say it with feeling. Write like you speak, and speak directly to the reader with personal pronouns like “you”. Like one traveller talking to another, you want to sound as though you’re telling a good friend about your personal experience atSamphire Rottnest, exactly as you felt it.

Show, don’t tell. Paint a picture of the destination and the experience. Focus on specific examples rather than broad generalisations.

Use the content to allow readers to discover new experiences. Show them a side of SamphireRottnest and Rottnest Island they may not be familiar with.

Have fun with the content. Make people want to be part of the Samphire Rottnest club.
