Best Practices

• •Lead with Flavor, Follow with Heat: Always describe the taste profile first. Use vivid, culinary-focused adjectives (e.g., "savory," "umami," "zesty," "sweet," "earthy") before mentioning the pepper or heat level. This reinforces the brand value of being flavor-forward.
• •Embrace Confident & Bold Language: Use strong, active verbs and confident statements. Phrases like "Unapologetically delicious," "This is what hot sauce was meant to taste like," and "undeniably bold" align perfectly with the "Bravado" name and brand attitude. Avoid weak or hesitant language.
• •Tell the Story: Weave the brand’s origin story and values into the copy where appropriate. Mentioning the "small-batch" beginnings, the use of "fresh ingredients," or the Houston roots adds authenticity and builds a connection with the consumer.
• •Use Social Proof and Pop Culture: Leverage the brand's features on "Hot Ones" and "Billion Dollar Buyer". This is a powerful form of validation that immediately builds credibility, especially with the target audience of hot sauce enthusiasts. Phrases like "As Seen on Hot Ones" should be used in product descriptions and ads for featured sauces.
• •Inspire Culinary Creativity: Instead of just describing the sauce, suggest interesting and unexpected food pairings. Mentioning its use on "eggs, tacos, burritos," or even more unique applications like in Bloody Marys or on cheesecake encourages customers to experiment and see the products as versatile culinary ingredients, not just condiments.

Social Perception
