Tone of Voice

Friendly & Conversational

Our tone should always feel like a conversation with a friend. Avoid overly formal or stiff language. Instead, focus on creating approachable, warm messaging that invites the reader into the experience.

  • Use casual language: “It’s time to escape to the mountains!” instead of “We recommend a mountain retreat.”
  • Personal touches: Speak directly to the reader by using “you” and “your.”

Exciting & Enthusiastic

Adventure is at the heart of what we do at Basecamp Resorts. The tone should inspire excitement, whether it’s about a new activity, a stunning view, or a comfortable stay at our properties.

  • Use energetic words: Words like “discover,” “explore,” “epic,” and “adventure” bring the content to life.
  • Avoid monotony: Keep the excitement fresh. “Ready for the adventure of a lifetime?” is much more engaging than a standard “Plan your trip.”

Inviting & Relaxing

We provide more than just a place to stay—our resorts are a home away from home. It’s important to balance the excitement of adventure with a sense of calm, comfort and convenience.

  • Highlight cozy, comforting aspects: Use phrases like “cozy nights by the fire” or “peaceful mornings with a view.”
  • Blend comfort with excitement: “Unwind after a day of mountain exploring.”
  • Include messaging about the easy access to endless Adventures?

Playful & Engaging

Don’t be afraid to have a little fun. A light-hearted, playful tone shows that we are a modern and dynamic brand.

  • Incorporate humor: A playful touch can go a long way. Phrases like “Canmore weekend vibes, anyone?” add personality.
  • Ask questions: Engage your audience with prompts and questions to create interaction.

Preferred Words & Phrases

These are core words and phrases that reflect the brand and should be used consistently across platforms:

Do: Use verbs like “explore,” “discover,” “escape,” “dive into,” and “unwind.”

Don’t: Avoid passive language like “We have accommodations available.” Instead, try “Book your mountain retreat today.”

  • Adventure: explore, discover, epic, journey, escape, hidden gems.
  • Comfort & Relaxation: cozy, unwind, recharge, peaceful, serene, home away from home.
  • Action-Oriented: book now, save, share, join, experience, plan your escape.
