Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience, Speak Their Language: Understand who your customers are and address them in a way that resonates. For Stoneridge, this means being friendly, informative, and appreciative of quality and community.
• •Emphasize Core Values: Consistently weave in messages about quality, freshness, community, and expert service. Let these values shine through the words you choose.
• •Be Authentic and Human: Avoid overly corporate or generic language. Use a warm, personal voice that reflects a family-owned, community-focused business. Share stories about your staff, suppliers, or the sourcing of your products.
• •Educate and Inform, Don't Just Sell: While the goal is to sell products, provide value by sharing tips, pairing suggestions, or information about the benefits of your products (e.g., "no hormones"). This builds trust and positions the brand as a knowledgeable resource.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure the tone used on the website, social media, email, and in-store signage is harmonious. This creates a unified and recognizable brand identity. Regularly review content across platforms to ensure alignment.
