Brand Tone

Friendly, enthusiastic, community-focused, passionate, and nostalgic.

Brand Values

• •Community
• •Sustainability (second-hand items)
• •Passion for collecting
• •Accessibility for enthusiasts
• •Entrepreneurial

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Nerd/Geek" Identity: Use language, references, and humor that resonate with nerd and geek culture. Don't shy away from niche terms or inside jokes where appropriate. This builds authenticity and connection.
• •Foster Community: Actively use words like "community," "fellow fans," "tribe," and "connect." Encourage interaction on social media and position Nerdused as a hub, not just a transaction platform.
• •Highlight Sustainability & Second Life: Emphasize the value of pre-owned items – giving them a "new adventure" or "second life." This appeals to environmentally conscious consumers and adds a positive narrative to buying used goods.
• •Maintain Enthusiasm and Passion: Let genuine excitement for the products and the culture shine through. Use exclamation points (sparingly), positive adjectives, and a generally upbeat tone.
• •Be Clear and Trustworthy (Especially Given Broader Brand Perception Issues): While the tone is fun, ensure all descriptions for items on the marketplace are accurate and transparent. Given the mixed reviews for the software side of the business, building trust within the collectibles marketplace is paramount. Clearly outline buying/selling processes and offer responsive customer support for this segment.

Social Perception

Cultivate a niche, community space, trustworthy among the collectible community
