Best Practices

• •Embrace 'Community' Language: Consistently use words like 'community,' 'neighbors,' 'together,' 'family,' 'us,' and 'we.' Highlight shared experiences and collective benefits.
• •Keep it Friendly and Conversational: Use a warm, approachable, and slightly informal tone, especially on social media. Emojis can be used judiciously to add personality. Avoid overly corporate or stiff language.
• •Be Genuinely Helpful: Ensure copy is informative, answers potential questions proactively (like in FAQs or detailed posts), and makes it easy for people to participate or get what they need.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Your Values: Instead of just saying 'we value local,' mention the local farms or producers when possible. When talking about affordability, relate it back to helping families.
• •Celebrate Your Story and People: Regularly incorporate elements of the Co-op's origin, the founder's passion, and the contributions of volunteers. This humanizes the brand and reinforces its grassroots, community-driven nature.
