Show how funny and relatable your employees are. Show that your employees aren’t just cookie-cutter, but unique people who are relatable to your customers.
Use your employees to promote your brand. Have them use things such as social media to help promote your brand and bring in more customers.
Hire a social media manager. This should be a creative person who will is a good listener, easily able to be engaged, and able to react to criticisms. 
Personalize any automated aspects of your marketing. Refer to your customers by name or by using the word “you”. 
Send products or letters to new customers. This helps customers feel like they are part of your brand’s “family”.
Write blog posts that show off your personality. Rather than dull, generic blog posts, add emotion and humor to your posts.
