Best Practices

• •Embrace Passion with Expertise: Consistently combine genuine enthusiasm for coffee with deep product knowledge. Whether it's a social media post or a detailed product description, the copy should convey both excitement and authority.
• •Highlight Heritage, Focus on Today: While Faema's rich history is a key asset, ensure the copy feels current and relevant to modern coffee lovers and businesses. Balance tradition with contemporary lifestyle and innovation.
• •Maintain a Premium yet Accessible Voice: The language should reflect the high quality of the products but avoid being overly exclusive or intimidating, especially when addressing home users or those new to espresso. Use clear, evocative language.
• •Foster Community and Interaction: Actively encourage dialogue on social platforms. Ask questions, respond to comments thoughtfully (showcasing a commitment to customer engagement), and feature user-generated content or client stories where appropriate.
• •Be Authentic and Transparent (Especially Given Past Issues): While highlighting the best of the brand, it's crucial for internal communications and any direct customer service interactions to be handled with utmost integrity and a demonstrable commitment to positive customer outcomes to rebuild and maintain trust. Copy should avoid making claims that cannot be consistently backed up by the overall customer experience.

Social Perception

Strongly associated with high-quality, premium espresso machines and a rich Italian coffee heritage. Recognized as a pioneer in bringing authentic espresso culture to Canada. Faema Montreal and other specific dealers/locations often receive positive feedback for customer service and product expertise. Their coffee beans and wider product range (like pizza ovens) are generally well-regarded. Seen as a knowledgeable source for coffee enthusiasts and professionals. // Significant historical issues with customer service and repair experiences at certain Faema Canada locations, particularly in Toronto, have led to highly critical public reviews and accusations of poor business practices. The 2017 Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision against Faema Corporation 2000 Ltd. and its owner at the time for workplace discrimination represents a serious past reputational damage. While this pertains to previous circumstances, such information can linger in public perception. The premium nature of their products means they are perceived as expensive by some consumers, which can be a barrier. Inconsistent customer service experiences across the brand's different touchpoints have been reported.
