Brand Tone

Friendly, knowledgeable, community-centric, welcoming, service-oriented, helpful, conversational, supportive, and trustworthy.

Brand Values

• •Community and Tradition
• •Quality and Expertise
• •Service and Reliability
• •Comprehensive Support

Best Practices

• •Always Lead with "Community" and "Helpful": Frame every piece of content, from product descriptions to social media posts, around the idea of helping a neighbor. Use "we" and "our team" to foster a sense of a shared community. Instead of "Buy this," try "Here's what works best for..."
• •Highlight Your Heritage: Regularly mention that you are a "family-owned and operated" business with deep roots since 1970. This is a powerful differentiator that builds trust and reinforces your values of tradition and reliability.
• •Use a Knowledgeable, Not Arrogant, Tone: Share tips, "how-to" guides, and expert advice freely. Position the brand as an educational resource. The tone should be confident and informed but always approachable and never condescending. Invite questions and discussions.
• •Incorporate User-Generated Content and Testimonials: Actively encourage customers to share their stories and photos. Featuring them in your marketing (with permission) is the most authentic way to prove your brand's perception as a friendly, community-focused hub.
• •Keep it Simple and Sincere: Avoid corporate jargon or overly complex language. The voice of Morristown Milling Co. is honest and straightforward, like a conversation over a counter. The writing should be clear, direct, and imbued with genuine care for the customer and their animals or garden.

Social Perception

Helpful and friendly staff, excellent customer service, fair pricing, a respected community staple, and provider of high-quality products.
