Brand Tone

personable, passionate, and community-focused

Brand Values

• •Community & Accessibility
• •Passion for the Hobby
• •Family & Trust
• •Quality & Care

Best Practices

• •Always Speak as a Fan: Use terminology and inside jokes that resonate with the Pokémon community ("trainers," "wild restock," move names like "Harden" or "Teleport"). This validates the brand's authenticity and passion.
• •Emphasize the "Why": Continuously reinforce the brand's origin story and its mission to fight high prices. This builds a loyal community that shares those values.
• •Maintain a Personal and Humble Voice: Write as Christina, the owner, would speak. Use "we" and "I," share small personal anecdotes (like the toddler joke), and maintain a friendly, approachable tone. This differentiates the brand from larger, more corporate competitors.
• •Be Transparent and Direct: If there are shipping delays or stock issues, communicate them openly and honestly, just as the vacation notice on the website does. This builds trust and manages customer expectations.
• •Focus on Care and Quality in All Communications: Mention secure packaging and product care in product descriptions, shipping notifications, and social media posts. This directly addresses a key concern for collectors and leverages one of the brand's most praised attributes.

Social Perception

exceptionally positive, viewed as a highly reliable and trustworthy seller, a high-quality, customer-centric operation that delivers on its promises.
