Best Practices

• •Focus on 'Bold Simplicity': Avoid overly technical coffee jargon or flowery language. Keep descriptions clear, concise, and focused on the core benefits: great taste, freshness, and value.
• •Emphasize Value and Affordability: Consistently highlight the fair price point as a key differentiator, positioning craft coffee as an accessible everyday enjoyment rather than an exclusive treat.
• •Maintain a Friendly, Down-to-Earth Voice: Write as if you're talking to a neighbor or a friend. Use welcoming language and avoid any tone that could be perceived as pretentious or exclusive.
• •Share the Passion Authentically: Let the genuine love for coffee shine through, but always tie it back to the customer's experience and benefit.
• •Highlight Community and Connection: Where appropriate, weave in the local Chicago roots and the idea of coffee bringing people together. Showcase customer testimonials that reflect this.
