• •Trust & Transparency
• •Expertise
• •Accessibility

Best Practices

• •Showcase Expertise Consistently: Regularly highlight unique products, new arrivals, and staff recommendations across all platforms. Use blog posts (if reactivated) or social media to share pairing suggestions or spirit education, reinforcing the knowledgeable aspect.
• •Amplify Customer Voices: Continue featuring positive customer reviews and testimonials prominently on the website and in social media. Actively solicit reviews and engage with comments (both positive and negative) professionally to reinforce a customer-centric approach.
• •Maintain Transparency in Fulfillment: Given past mixed reviews on online orders, be extra clear about shipping times, stock availability, and return/refund processes. Proactive communication can build trust.
• •Emphasize Value Beyond Price: While competitive pricing is good, also highlight the value of expert curation, wide selection of rare items, and reliable service. This positions value as a combination of quality, price, and experience.
• •Ensure Online and Offline Consistency (if applicable): If there's a physical store experience, ensure staff are trained to reflect the same knowledgeable, customer-centric, and passionate tone projected online. (This is general advice, as in-store experience data wasn't deeply available for the San Jose store). Address the BBB non-accreditation if possible, as it can impact perceived trustworthiness.

Social Perception

Positive for Product Selection & Price, Mixed on Online Order Fulfillment (Historically), Good In-Store/Local Delivery Experience, Seen as a Specialist Retailer, Lack of BBB Accreditation & Response
