Best Practices

• •Always Lead with Purpose: Ensure that the "why" behind The Corner Store Network (social justice, sustainability, community empowerment) is evident or easily inferred in all communications. Connect product benefits back to the larger mission.
• •Be Authentic and Transparent: Share real stories of impact, introduce the people involved (farmers, volunteers, staff), and be open about both successes and challenges. Avoid corporate jargon; use clear, honest language.
• •Emphasize "We" and "Together": Foster a sense of community and collective action by using inclusive language. Highlight how customers, volunteers, and partners are all part of the solution.
• •Maintain a Hopeful and Action-Oriented Voice: While addressing serious issues, focus on the positive changes being made and inspire audiences to participate. Provide clear calls to action that empower individuals to contribute.
• •Adapt to the Platform, but Keep Core Messaging Consistent: While the style might vary slightly (e.g., more playful on TikTok, more formal on LinkedIn), the underlying values, mission, and core messages about ethical practices and community impact should remain consistent across all channels.
