PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit contributing author @SteveLazuka offers expert advice on the importance of clearly identifying the tone and style of your writing in order to deliver messages that solidify relationships with your audience and leave lasting impressions.
Tone: The tone of your writing sets the stage for your content. It should be unique and distinctive to set your brand apart from others. When choosing your tone, Lazuka suggests determining what you want to say, the impression you want to convey and the image you want to present.
Style: When establishing style, the first step is pinpointing how formal you want to be. This is generally identified by the point of view that is used, such as first, second or third person. You'll want to ensure you're giving the impression that is best suited for your brand and enables you to establish a strong connection with your audience.
