Best Practices

• •Always Lead with Passion and Heart: Use words that convey love, care, and dedication (e.g., "Herzblut," "Leidenschaft," "sorgfältig," "liebevoll"). Frame the business as a labor of love, not just a company.
• •Tell the Story of the Region: Consistently mention the location—"Ortenau," "Schwarzwald," "Lahr". This grounds the brand, emphasizes its local, artisanal nature, and connects the product's flavor to its origin.
• •Embrace the "Family" Narrative: Continue to use the personal, slightly playful team titles ("Bienenkönig," etc.) where appropriate. Refer to the business as family-run to build trust and a human connection.
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Explain the "why" behind your actions. Just as you explain the lack of a bio-certificate, explain why a certain honey tastes the way it does or why a particular season was good for the bees. This builds authority and transparency.
• •Use High-Quality, Authentic Visuals: Ensure all photos and videos match the brand's tone. They should be natural, warm, and showcase the real environment, people, and products—avoiding a sterile, corporate look. The visuals should feel as handcrafted as the honey itself.

Social Perception

The social perception of Imkerei Ostermann is overwhelmingly positive, recognizing them for high-quality products, as a trusted local producer, and for providing excellent service.

Every frame tells a story—of thousands of flights, of blooming meadows in Ortenau, and of the incredible intelligence of our bees.
