Best Practices

• •Always Lead with "Why": Start with the purpose behind the bread—health, tradition, community—before describing the product itself. This reinforces your values.
• •Use "You" and "I/We": Foster a personal connection by speaking directly to your audience ("You'll leave with...") and from your personal perspective ("We believe...", "I love to..."). This maintains the nurturing, one-on-one tone.
• •Embrace Storytelling: Share the process, the history, and the results. Talk about the "wild yeast culture" and the "ancient methods." Stories make the brand memorable and authentic.
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Frame your content around helpful tips, explanations, and insights into the sourdough process. This positions you as an expert and a trusted guide, building value beyond the product itself.
• •Keep it Simple and Honest: Your language should reflect the purity of your ingredients. Avoid jargon and overly technical terms unless you explain them clearly. The tone should be as clean and straightforward as your bread.
