Every now and then we can have a bit of fun.
On the site of the Italian Gelato-Makers association there is a page on positioning.
http://www.ilgelatoartigianale.info/Sei_un_gelatiere/Il_Posi...
Of course the slogan is untranslatable per se, but as you have all come up with such a lot of nice ideas on previous occasions, instead of looking at the ice building inexporably up outside your window, you may prefer dream of sunny summer days, and the choices that a gelato-maker has on how to flog his wares...

Find your flavour: find your customer
The link provided exhorts ice-cream makers to reflect on what their unique selling point is (unusual flavours, organic ingredients, etc.) and use that awareness to better market themselves. It's not about quality per se, or 'when in Rome...'.
Hence the above attempt. HTH :).

Comment: "This of course was the hardest part, selecting the best out of some memorable entries. In the end I sent the customer three alternatives: Oliver's, Russell's and Colin's, all of which show that instead of slaving over a hot PC all day to earn your keep you could be coming up with catchy phrases for a living in the swankiest Milan advertising agencies..."

Ice cream, You love it.
I know, I know, it's silly and it works only when you hear it, but my love for ice cream overcomes my fear of ridicule;-P

: good - though the site is using "gelato" as a cool alternative to ice cream (part of the global positioning of Italian ice cream!!) so, "to each his own gelato" sorry texjax, our great minds thought alike

Each flavor has its customer(s)
...o "palate", volendo, ma forse si perde il riferimento commerciale dato che si tratta di posizionamento.
Altra opzione:
Each flavor has its (own) customer base
Buona giornata, ciao!

bespoke gelato experiences
You could play around with the old adspeak favourite "bespoke".
Note, too, that "gelato" is not quite the same as ice cream since it usually has a lower butterfat content.
