Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your brand voice: personality traits (e.g., elegant, friendly, passionate, helpful), vocabulary (words to use/avoid), sentence structure preferences, and level of formality. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Always Emphasize Benefits, Not Just Features: Instead of just saying 'sharp blades,' explain how sharp blades lead to 'effortless slicing and beautiful presentation.' Connect product features to the aspirational values of elegance and enhanced culinary experiences.
• •Use Storytelling: Weave narratives around the products. How do they fit into a customer's life? How can they help create special moments? The 'About Us' page mentions collaborating with artisans who create products that 'raconte une histoire' (tell a story) – lean into this.
• •Maintain a Conversational and Engaging Style (especially on social media): Ask questions, use emojis where appropriate (aligning with the friendly aspect), and respond to comments in the brand's voice. This fosters a sense of community and accessibility.
• •Review and Edit for Tone: Before publishing any copy, review it specifically for tonal consistency. Does it sound like Mr Ratatouille? Is it aligned with the core values of elegance, quality, and passion for cooking? Ensure the French charm subtly influences the English copy, even if it's just through sensibility rather than direct translation of idioms. Address the reliability concerns transparently if possible, by highlighting guarantees and customer service.

Social Perception

Mixed, with positive reviews on their website contrasted by concerns about reliability flagged by FranceVerif. Strong association with the Disney/Pixar movie 'Ratatouille'.
