Best Practices

• •Embrace Transparency Relentlessly: Consistently and clearly explain the "reject" nature of the products in all communications (product descriptions, ads, FAQs, social media). Use clear, simple language to define what imperfections customers might expect. This manages expectations and builds a specific kind of trust.
• •Focus on Value and Affordability: This is the core appeal. Always highlight the savings and the accessibility of otherwise expensive brands. Use price comparisons carefully and legally.
• •Use Confident but Realistic Language: Be positive about the products' appeal ("smell divine," "great value") but avoid over-promising or making claims that can't be substantiated (e.g., don't claim they are *identical* to retail if they are not). Acknowledge potential variations.
• •Maintain a Direct and Slightly Informal Tone: This makes the brand feel more accessible and less like a traditional luxury retailer, which aligns with selling discounted goods. Keep sentences relatively short and to the point.
• •Incorporate Customer Testimonials (Authentic Ones): If genuine positive feedback exists that acknowledges the "reject" aspect but still expresses satisfaction with the value, use these. This can be more persuasive than the brand's own claims, especially given the mixed external reviews. Ensure these are verifiable if possible.

Social Perception

Mixed and Polarized: Some customers report being happy with their purchases, especially considering the price. A significant portion of online discussion and reviews expresses skepticism about the legitimacy of "reject perfumes" and the business model. Concerns include the extremely low prices and the common practice of luxury brands destroying imperfect stock rather than selling it at a discount.
