• •Speak with Passion, Not Pretense: Share your enthusiasm for coffee authentically. Use vibrant, positive language ("stoke," "zest," "passion") but avoid jargon that could alienate less-informed customers. Keep it welcoming and inclusive.
• •Highlight Ethical Impact: Don't just say you're sustainable; show it. Share specific examples of ethical sourcing, environmental initiatives, and community projects. Make the customer feel good about their purchase by connecting it to positive impact.
• •Maintain Visual & Verbal Cohesion: Ensure the language used complements the clean, bright, and artisanal visual identity seen on the website and Instagram. Use clear, concise, and thoughtfully crafted sentences.
• •Be an Educator (Gently): Share knowledge about coffee origins, processing methods, and brewing techniques in an accessible way. Position Verve as a knowledgeable guide on the journey to a better coffee experience, inviting customers to learn and explore.
