Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Chart: Create a document that explicitly defines the brand's personality traits (e.g., passionate, knowledgeable, welcoming), tone characteristics (e.g., inspiring, educational, friendly), 'do's and don'ts' for language, and specific vocabulary or jargon to use or avoid.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to. Tailor the complexity of your language and the focus of your content to resonate with specialty coffee enthusiasts while remaining accessible to newcomers.
• •Prioritize Storytelling: Coffee has rich stories – from its origin and farmers to the roasting process and the community around it. Weave these narratives into your copy to connect emotionally and reinforce values like transparency and passion.
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Whether it's a social media caption, website copy, email newsletter, or in-store signage, the tone should feel cohesive. Regularly audit content across platforms to ensure alignment.
• •Educate and Empower, Don't Preach: Share your expertise in a way that makes customers feel informed and included, not intimidated. Frame information as an invitation to discover and learn more about the world of coffee. Use 'we' and 'you' to foster a sense of shared journey.
