Best Practices

• •Emphasize Heritage with Pride, Not Arrogance: Leverage the "Since 1979" legacy to build trust and convey expertise, but ensure the tone remains approachable and focused on the customer's benefit (e.g., "Our experience means better coffee for you").
• •Let Passion Shine Through: Use enthusiastic and descriptive language when talking about coffee origins, flavour profiles, and the roasting process. This shows genuine care and expertise.
• •Prioritize Clarity and Information: While passionate, ensure that product descriptions and information are clear, helpful, and educate the customer, reinforcing the knowledgeable aspect of the brand.
• •Maintain a Friendly and Welcoming Voice in Community Interactions: On social media and in customer service, ensure responses are warm, helpful, and foster a sense of community. Address customers by name when possible.
• •Balance Tradition with Modern Relevance: While the heritage is a strong asset, ensure visual branding (especially on Instagram) and copy for newer platforms feel current and engaging to a broader audience, without losing the core identity. Highlight the craft and quality which are timeless values.
