Brand Tone

Welcoming and Friendly, Knowledgeable and Experienced, Community-Focused and Family-Oriented, Passionate and Inspiring, Quality-Driven

Brand Values

• •Family: A multi-generational family business, with family values deeply embedded in their operations and customer interactions.
• •Community: A commitment to serving the McPherson community since 1988, initially by addressing a specific need (bridal registries) and evolving to become a local staple.
• •Quality and Expertise: Offering high-quality products and knowledgeable staff to ensure customers find what they need and understand how to use it.
• •Customer Service: Providing a warm, helpful, and personalized shopping experience, including services like gift wrapping and bridal registry assistance.
• •Tradition and Innovation: Maintaining a long-standing presence while also being "on the cutting edge of the housewares industry" by introducing new product lines like Olivelle oils and vinegars.
• •Creating a "Home": Helping customers not just buy products, but create experiences and a sense of home through cooking and entertaining.

Best Practices

• •Embrace "Family & Community First" Language: Consistently use warm, inclusive language. Refer to the store's history in the community and its family-run nature. Use terms like "we," "us," and "our community."
• •Showcase Expertise, Don't Just Tell: Instead of just saying staff are knowledgeable, provide specific examples or tips in copy. For instance, "Our team loves sharing how the right Wüsthof knife can transform your prep work..."
• •Focus on the "Why" Behind Products: Connect products to the experiences they enable. It's not just a Le Creuset Dutch oven; it's "the heart of countless family dinners and holiday feasts."
• •Maintain an Inviting and Approachable Voice: Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining a specific product benefit. Keep sentences clear, friendly, and encouraging, much like a helpful neighbor sharing a tip.
• •Infuse Passion for Food and Home: Let the genuine love for cooking, quality ingredients, and creating a welcoming home shine through. Use evocative language that appeals to the senses and the joy of cooking and entertaining.
