Brand Tone

Friendly and Approachable, Knowledgeable and Expert, Supportive and Encouraging, Community-Oriented, Value-Driven

Brand Values

• •Quality
• •Customer Service & Support
• •Community Focus
• •Accessibility/Comprehensiveness
• •Affordability

Best Practices

• •Emphasize "We're in this together": Use inclusive language. Words like "we," "us," "together," and "your partner" foster a sense of community and support.
• •Share Knowledge Generously: Regularly offer tips, advice, and solutions. Frame copy around helping the customer achieve their baking goals, positioning the brand as a helpful expert, not just a seller.
• •Maintain a Warm and Welcoming Voice: Even in more formal communication, ensure the underlying tone is friendly and approachable. Avoid overly technical jargon unless clearly explained. Think "helpful neighbour who's great at baking."
• •Highlight Quality and Value Proposition: Consistently remind customers of the commitment to high-quality products at fair prices, reinforcing trust and reliability.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Community Spirit: Feature customer creations (with permission), talk about local baking trends, and continue to engage with the local baking community online and offline. This authenticates the "family" and "community" values.
