Brand Tone

friendly, welcoming, and community-focused

Brand Values

• •Community
• •Quality & Craftsmanship
• •Hospitality & Service
• •Authenticity
• •Simplicity & Rest

Best Practices

• •Always Prioritize "Neighbourly" Language: Use words like "we," "you," "our neighbours," and "community." Frame communications as a conversation between friends rather than a business-to-customer announcement.
• •Emphasize Freshness and Origin: Consistently mention that coffee is roasted in-house and baked goods are made fresh. Reference the Swedish inspiration behind recipes to reinforce authenticity.
• •Keep it Simple and Heartfelt: The brand's strength is its simplicity and warmth. Avoid overly corporate or complex language. The tone should feel genuine and from the heart.
• •Showcase, Don't Just Tell: Use visuals on social media that reflect the cozy atmosphere and the beauty of Riondel. Feature pictures of happy customers (with permission) and the hands-on process of making coffee and food.
• •Engage with Your Community: Respond to comments and reviews with the same warmth and friendliness you'd offer in person. Actively listen to customer suggestions, as indicated by the "Don't see something on our menu? Let us know" on your website.
