Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the key elements of your tone (e.g., artisanal, passionate, friendly, celebratory) with examples of do's and don'ts. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Use Evocative and Sensory Language: Describe flavors, textures, and aromas in a way that engages the senses and reflects the premium, indulgent nature of the products (e.g., "velvety ganache," "crisp almond slivers," "intoxicating aroma of cocoa").
• •Highlight Craftsmanship and Quality: Consistently mention the use of fine ingredients, handcrafted techniques, and the passion that goes into making each product. This reinforces the artisanal value.
• •Maintain a Friendly and Appreciative Stance: Whether responding to comments, writing "About Us" sections, or crafting social media posts, ensure the language is welcoming, grateful, and enthusiastic. Show you value your customers and your craft.
• •Stay Visually Consistent with Your Words: Ensure the tone of your copy aligns with your visual branding. If your images are elegant and artistic, your language should be too. If they are playful, a touch of that can be incorporated, but always within the overarching premium and passionate framework.
