Brand Tone

authentic, trustworthy, and community-focused

Brand Values

• •Authenticity: Providing genuine, traditional recipes and products, particularly those from Chettinad cuisine.
• •Quality: Offering high-quality, natural, and often homemade or organic products.
• •Community/Customer Focus: Building a strong relationship with their audience, listening to their needs (which led to the shop's creation), and providing good customer service.
• •Tradition: Preserving and promoting traditional cooking methods and recipes.
• •Health: Offering products perceived as healthy, including organic options and herbal items.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Weave the brand's origin story and Mrs. Annam's passion into the copy. This reinforces authenticity and builds connection.
• •Use "We" and "You" Inclusively: Foster a sense of community by addressing the audience directly and using language that implies a shared journey (e.g., "We heard you," "Join our community").
• •Highlight Quality and Natural Aspects: Consistently mention terms like "authentic," "traditional," "natural," "homemade," "organic," and "no preservatives" where applicable, as these are core to the brand's value proposition.
• •Maintain a Warm and Approachable Voice: Avoid overly formal or technical language. The tone should feel like friendly advice from a trusted expert in traditional cooking.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Authenticity: Instead of just saying "authentic," describe the process (e.g., "sun-dried," "small batches," "traditional methods") or the origin (e.g., "Chettinad special"). Link product benefits back to the values of tradition and home-style cooking.
