• •Customer Service
• •Knowledge and Expertise
• •Community
• •Joy and Well-being through Plants

Best Practices

• •Embrace Friendliness and Warmth: Use welcoming language, address customers personally when possible (e.g., in social media replies), and don't be afraid to use appropriate emojis to convey warmth.
• •Share Knowledge Generously: Regularly provide helpful tips, how-to guides (like Tim's Tips), and plant care information. Position the brand as a go-to resource for gardening success.
• •Highlight Community and History: Remind customers of the brand's local, family-owned roots and long-standing presence. Share stories or customer spotlights if appropriate.
• •Focus on the Joy of Plants: Infuse copy with the positive emotions associated with plants and gardening – happiness, well-being, beauty, and the satisfaction of nurturing.
• •Maintain Authenticity: Let the genuine passion for plants and customer service shine through. Avoid overly corporate or impersonal language. The "we like fun" aspect can be subtly woven in.

Social Perception

Positive: Customers generally perceive the brand (or brands with similar names and offerings) as having a great selection of quality plants and products, helpful and friendly staff, and being a reliable local business. Helpful Resource: Seen as a place to get gardening advice and find a wide variety of items. Established Community Presence: The family-owned aspect and long history contribute to a perception of trustworthiness and local commitment.
