Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Authenticity: Use words like 'authentic,' 'genuine,' 'traditional,' 'Italian-made,' and 'imported.' Connect products back to Italian regions or culinary traditions.
• •Use Warm, Evocative Language: Appeal to the senses. Describe tastes, smells, and the feeling of enjoying good Italian food. Words like 'sun-ripened,' 'artisanal,' 'heartwarming,' 'delicious,' and 'savory' can be effective.
• •Incorporate Storytelling (Subtly): Weave in the narrative of Italian heritage, family traditions, or the 'adventure' of discovering new flavors, as inspired by the brand name's origin. Share the 'why' behind the products.
• •Maintain a Friendly and Approachable Voice: Address the customer directly and warmly (e.g., 'your Italian culinary journey,' 'bring Italy to your table'). Be helpful and informative, especially in blog posts and recipes.
• •Ensure Visual and Textual Harmony: The imagery used should always complement the authentic, high-quality, and appealing tone of the copy. Descriptions should accurately reflect what is seen in product photos.

Social Perception

Positive for Product Quality and Service, Trusted Source for Italian Goods, Appreciation for Authenticity, Engaged Community (small but growing), Potential for Name Confusion
