Home Page: Adjusting Tone

Home Page:

Adjusting Tone

In addition to a clear, detailed title the HOME PAGE should state who the report is PREPARED FOR.

 

This might be your client, or it might be for the Board of Directors your client works for.

 

Clarify who you wrote the report for on the HOME PAGE.

A Quick Note About:

Adjusting your tone to fit your audience.

Your audience choice will influence word choices.

Additionally, this will influence the ways you comment on your client within the report. If you are writing to the client specifically and you want to mention the team-client interview, you might write:

 

"When we met you at the Wisdom Tooth Box Office on September 23, you mentioned that attracting millennials is your number one concern."

 

If you are writing for your client's boss or the board, you would be more formal when commenting on the interview:

 

"When we met with Callie Burk, Marketing Director at Wisdom Tooth, she clarified that the theatre wanted to explore innovative ways to attract millennial audiences."
