Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Chart: Document key characteristics of your tone (e.g., words to use, words to avoid, level of formality, use of humor, sentence structure). Make this accessible to anyone writing for the brand. For Riwaq: Words like "gather," "discover," "savor," "crafted," "community," "heritage," "welcome." Avoid overly technical jargon unless explaining something specific.
• •Understand Your Audience Persona: Tailor the nuances of your tone to resonate with your target coffee drinker (e.g., the connoisseur, the curious newcomer, the ritualistic drinker). While the core tone remains, the emphasis might shift slightly per platform.
• •Prioritize Storytelling: Weave the brand values (community, heritage, quality) into narratives. Instead of just saying "high-quality coffee," tell the story of its origin, the roasting process, or the feeling it evokes, connecting it back to the idea of "Riwaq" as a space for enjoyment.
• •Consistency Across All Channels: While the format and length will change (e.g., a tweet vs. a blog post), the core voice and feeling should be unmistakably Riwaq. Ensure that the warmth and artisanal respect shine through, whether it's a website FAQ, an email newsletter, or a social media reply.
• •Listen and Adapt (Slightly): Pay attention to how your audience communicates and responds. While maintaining your core tone, you can adapt your language slightly to better engage with them, especially in direct interactions like social media comments. Always ensure it aligns with the "Welcoming & Artisanal" feel.
