Best Practices

• •Prioritize Authenticity in Language: Always lead with and reinforce the genuineness of items. Use terms like "Verified Authentic," "Certificate of Authenticity Included," "Personally Obtained Autograph" consistently.
• •Speak Collector to Collector: Use language that resonates with hobbyists. Share enthusiasm for the items, their history, and the athletes/figures. Reference the "thrill of the find" or the "passion for collecting."
• •Maintain a Professional Yet Enthusiastic Voice: While ensuring professionalism in transactions and descriptions, let the passion for sports and collectibles shine through. Avoid overly casual or slangy language but don't be afraid to express excitement.
• •Highlight Experience and Knowledge Subtly: Weave in references to the brand's long history (e.g., "decades of experience," "trusted since 1975") to build confidence without being boastful.
• •Be Customer-Centric and Responsive: Ensure copy in customer service interactions, FAQs, and even product descriptions is helpful, clear, and addresses potential customer concerns proactively, reflecting the value of customer satisfaction.
