Best Practices

• •Embrace "Friendly Expert" Language: Write as if you're a passionate friend who also happens to know a lot about coffee. Use clear, enthusiastic language. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explained simply. Think "we're geeks about freshness" rather than overly formal explanations.
• •Prioritize Freshness & Quality in Messaging: Consistently weave in the core values of fresh roasting and high-quality beans. Use sensory words that evoke the aroma and taste of fresh coffee.
• •Inject Personality and Whimsy (Authentically): Don't be afraid to use a bit of humor, especially in social media and email marketing, aligning with the new "whimsical" brand direction. This can include playful product names or lighthearted descriptions, but ensure it feels genuine to the brand.
• •Focus on the Customer Experience & Connection: Frame benefits around the customer (e.g., "bringing a smile to your face," "your perfect cup," "avoid those morning jump scares"). Use welcoming and inclusive language that fosters a sense of community.
• •Maintain a Consistent Voice Across All Channels: Whether it's a website FAQ, a social media reply, or an email newsletter, the core tone (friendly, passionate, knowledgeable yet approachable) should be recognizable. Develop a simple style guide with key phrases and "do/don't" examples for all content creators.

Social Perception

Generally positive, valued for freshness and good customer service. Recent rebranding well-received.
