Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly define the brand's personality, tone (e.g., friendly, authentic, helpful), and core vocabulary. Share this with anyone creating content. For East Side Grocery, this would include words related to Filipino culture, home, convenience, and authentic flavors.
• •Know Your Audience: Understand who you're talking to. For East Side Grocery, this includes people of Filipino heritage, those interested in Asian cuisine, and individuals seeking convenient access to specialty groceries. Tailor the language to resonate with their needs and cultural understanding.
• •Use Consistent Language and Phrasing: Employ similar terminology, sentence structures, and levels of formality across all platforms (website, emails, future social media). For instance, consistently using "Pinoy treats" or "your favorite Asian grocery."
• •Focus on "You" (The Customer): Frame messages around the customer's benefits, needs, and desires. Instead of "We sell authentic products," try "Discover authentic flavors that bring you closer to home."
• •Read Aloud and Review: Before publishing, read the copy aloud to ensure it sounds natural and aligns with the intended tone. Have a second person review it if possible to catch inconsistencies or off-brand messaging. This helps ensure the friendly, authentic voice is maintained.

Social Perception

A niche provider, convenient, and potentially nostalgic or comforting.
