Best Practices

• •Prioritize Transparency & Honesty: Given current social perception, be upfront about product sourcing, authenticity, and shipping times. If delays occur, proactive and honest communication is crucial to rebuild trust. Address negative feedback openly and constructively where appropriate.
• •Emphasize Trust & Authenticity Consistently: Reinforce the "authorized retailer" status and "genuine product" guarantee across all touchpoints – product pages, FAQs, and marketing materials.
• •Maintain a Helpful and Reassuring Voice, Especially in Customer Service: Ensure all communications, especially responses to queries and complaints, are empathetic, clear, and solution-oriented. This needs to extend beyond website copy to actual customer interactions.
• •Align Promotional Messaging with Brand Values: When running sales or promotions, frame them not just as discounts but as opportunities to experience "affordable luxury" or to explore "trusted brands."
• •Create a Brand Style Guide: Develop a comprehensive style guide that outlines the brand's voice, tone, approved terminology (e.g., "premium," "authentic," "curated"), and no-go words. Ensure all content creators, including social media managers and customer service agents, are trained on and adhere to this guide. This will help bridge the gap between the intended professional tone and the currently perceived unreliable customer service.

Social Perception

Divided: Some customers are satisfied with the products and the "lux" experience when things go smoothly, while a growing and vocal segment of customers perceives the brand negatively due to significant issues with order fulfillment, lack of communication, and unresolved customer service complaints.
