Best Practices

• •Lead with Passion, Support with Expertise: Always start with emotive, passionate language about the cheese or product. Then, subtly weave in the expertise (e.g., "Christian's selection," "perfectly aged," "from the best terroirs") to reinforce quality without sounding arrogant.
• •Tell the Story: Every cheese has a history. Use copywriting to share short anecdotes about the producer, the region, the aging process, or unique flavor notes. This transforms a product into an experience and reinforces the value of authenticity.
• •Use "You" and "We" to Foster Community: Frame communications as a personal conversation. Use "we" to talk about the shop's passion and "you" to focus on the customer's experience, taste, and enjoyment. Phrases like "We found this for you" or "Come share with us" build a strong bond.
• •Embrace the Visuals: The copy should always complement the high-quality photos and videos. Use descriptive, sensory words (e.g., "creamy," "crumbly," "aromatic," "bold") that allow the reader to almost taste what they see in the image.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: Whether it's a label in the shop, a website description, or an Instagram story, the tone must be consistent. The voice of the "passionate expert" should be recognizable everywhere, building a strong and coherent brand identity.
