Best Practices

• •Always Tell the Story: Weave in elements of the founders' journey, the "mompreneur" aspect, the inspiration from family recipes, and the blend of tradition with Californian/global influences. This builds authenticity and emotional connection.
• •Balance Tradition and Innovation in Language: Use words that evoke heritage and authenticity (e.g., "grandma's recipe," "time-honored," "Northern Chinese roots") alongside words that suggest modernity and creativity (e.g., "California flavor," "fusion," "inspired twist," "flavor adventure").
• •Emphasize "Handmade" and "Fresh": Consistently highlight the quality of ingredients and the care that goes into crafting each dumpling. This reinforces the value perception.
• •Use Warm and Inclusive Language: Create a sense of community and welcome. Phrases like "join our dumpling family," "share the joy," and "taste the love" foster a friendly and inviting atmosphere.
• •Adapt Tone Slightly for Platform, Not Essence: While TikTok copy can be more playful and use trending slang/hashtags, the core values of family, tradition, quality, and innovation should still subtly underpin the message. The *expression* changes, but the *essence* remains consistent with Instagram, Facebook, and website copy.

Social Perception

United Dumplings is generally perceived very positively by the public and media.
