Brand Tone

traditional, expert, and service-oriented

Brand Values

• •Quality and Freshness
• •Tradition and Heritage
• •Natural and Authentic Products
• •Customer Satisfaction

Best Practices

• •Anchor in Heritage: Every piece of copy, from product descriptions to advertisements, should connect back to the brand's core story of family tradition and its Bavarian Forest origins. This reinforces authenticity.
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Use copywriting to share expertise. Offer tips, pairing suggestions, and preparation instructions. This builds trust and positions the brand as a knowledgeable guide, not just a retailer.
• •Use Sensory and Evocative Language: Employ words that evoke the freshness and natural setting of the products. Phrases like 'earthy aroma,' 'forest harvest,' 'sun-ripened,' and 'dew-kissed' can transport the customer and enhance the perceived quality.
• •Maintain a Personal and Direct Voice: Address the customer directly ('your kitchen,' 'we deliver to you'). When communicating, especially in customer service, maintain a respectful and personal tone that reflects a family-run business, avoiding overly corporate or impersonal language.
• •Ensure Consistency Across All Platforms: The tone established on the website must be mirrored in all communications, including email newsletters, packaging inserts, and any future social media presence. This creates a cohesive and trustworthy brand identity.

Social Perception

Polarized: Positive perception for customers receiving good products (high quality, authentic, hard-to-find natural items) and experiencing excellent, personal customer service. Negative perception for customers experiencing logistics issues (long delays, spoiled goods) or poor communication, leading to perceptions of unreliability and unprofessionalism.
