Brand Values

• •Freshness
• •Supporting Local
• •Quality
• •Sustainability/Environmental Consciousness
• •Community Focus
• •Value for Money

Best Practices

• •Stay Authentic and Relatable: Use simple, everyday language. Share personal stories or insights from the team (like Carolyn's passion) to build connection. Avoid overly corporate jargon.
• •Emphasize "Fresh" and "Local" Consistently: These are key differentiators. Weave them naturally into product descriptions, social media posts, and all communications.
• •Maintain a Friendly and Approachable Voice: Use conversational language, ask questions in social media posts to encourage engagement, and respond to comments in a warm manner. Inject humour where appropriate (like the "floppy broccoli" line).
• •Highlight Community Connection: Talk about local suppliers, partnerships (like with Halswell Butchery), and how customer support benefits the local economy. Share news about community involvement or local events.
• •Be Transparent and Honest: When facing challenges (like supply issues), communicate openly with customers. This builds trust and reinforces the image of a genuine, hardworking local business.

Social Perception

Customers generally perceive Halswell Fresh positively. They are seen as a provider of high-quality, fresh produce, and a good local alternative to larger supermarkets. The association with Halswell Butchery, which also has a good reputation, likely enhances this perception. Their efforts to be plastic-free and support local growers are also likely well-received by a conscious consumer base. Their engagement through giveaways and community updates fosters a sense of connection.
