Brand Tone

Value-Driven, Eco-Conscious & Purposeful, Reassuring & Trust-Building, Approachable & Friendly, Direct & Informative

Brand Values

• •Affordability: Making technology accessible to more people by offering lower-priced alternatives.
• •Sustainability: Championing environmental responsibility by extending the life of electronic devices and reducing e-waste.
• •Quality: Committing to providing high-standard refurbished devices that are thoroughly tested and reliable, backed by a warranty.
• •Customer Empowerment: Enabling customers to make smart choices that benefit their finances and the planet.
• •Responsibility: Operating with a sense of duty towards customers and the environment, beyond just profit.

Best Practices

• •Lead with Value and Sustainability: Ensure these two core pillars are present in most communications. Frame "refurbished" not just as cheap, but as a smart and responsible choice.
• •Build Trust Proactively: Always include trust signals like warranty information, money-back guarantees, and quality checks in product descriptions and ads to counter potential hesitation about refurbished goods.
• •Maintain an Optimistic and Empowering Voice: Encourage customers that they are making a positive choice – for their finances and for the environment. Avoid apologetic language for selling refurbished.
• •Keep it Simple and Direct: Clearly explain the benefits and the process. Avoid jargon. Make it easy for customers to understand what they are getting and why it’s a good deal.
• •Engage Authentically: On social media, respond to queries and feedback (both positive and negative) in a helpful, human, and brand-consistent tone that reflects approachability and responsibility. Ensure consistency across all customer touchpoints.

Social Perception

Generally Positive as a Refurbished Goods Provider, Awareness of Refurbished Product Risks, Growing Appeal for Eco-Friendly Options, Potential Brand Name Confusion
