Best Practices

• •Lead with Passion, Support with Knowledge: Always convey a genuine love for coffee and community, but back it up with details about sourcing, roasting, and quality that showcase expertise without being overly technical.
• •Emphasize "We" and "You": Foster a sense of community by using inclusive language. Talk about "our" coffee, "our" space, and how "you" can enjoy it and be a part of the Ascend family.
• •Tell the Story Behind the Cup: Connect with customers on a deeper level by sharing the journey of the beans, the people behind the counter, and the brand's commitment to ethical practices and local engagement.
• •Keep it Positive and Inviting: Even when discussing challenges (like relocations), frame the narrative around growth, opportunity, and excitement for the future. Ensure all communications feel welcoming.
• •Be Authentic and Relatable: Avoid overly corporate jargon. Let the genuine voice of the owner and the "grass roots" spirit of the brand shine through in relatable language that speaks to everyday coffee lovers.
