Best Practices

• •Anchor in Your "Why": Always circle back to the core reasons the brand exists – veteran ownership, passion for coffee, community. Let this "why" infuse the language used. For Dan Scamp, this means consistently weaving in themes of service, quality, and American pride where appropriate.
• •Develop a "Voice Guide": Briefly document key characteristics of the brand voice (e.g., "Proud but humble," "Knowledgeable but not snobby," "Patriotic but inclusive"). Include lists of "words we use" (e.g., dedication, mission, community, bold, freedom) and "words we avoid" (e.g., weak, ordinary, mass-produced).
• •Speak to Your Tribe: Understand the specific audience (veterans, patriots, discerning coffee drinkers) and use language, references, and humor that resonate with them authentically. Avoid trying to be everything to everyone.
• •Consistency Across Channels: Ensure the tone used on the website, product descriptions, social media posts, email marketing, and even customer service interactions is harmonious. A customer should feel they are interacting with the same brand personality everywhere.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell (with an Authentic Voice): Instead of just saying "we value quality," describe the small-batch roasting process or the selection of beans with passion and authority. Let the stories behind the coffee and the brand (like the veteran experience) come through naturally in the copy, reinforcing the authentic, down-to-earth, and proud aspects of the tone.
