Best Practices

• •Embrace Nostalgia: Use language, references, and imagery that evoke the feeling of the 80s and 90s. Words like "rad," "awesome," "throwback," "classic," "flashback," and references to pop culture of the era can be effective.
• •Keep it Friendly and Approachable: Write as if you're talking to a friend who shares your love for vintage. Avoid overly formal or corporate language. Use contractions and a conversational style.
• •Highlight Uniqueness and Story: Emphasize that each vintage piece is unique and has a past. Encourage customers to imagine the "story" behind the item and how they'll add to it.
• •Be Authentic and Transparent: Clearly describe the condition of items, referencing your grading scale. Honesty builds trust, especially when selling pre-owned goods.
• •Use Consistent Visuals and Voice Across Platforms: Ensure that the tone in your website copy, Instagram captions, and any other customer communication feels cohesive. Visuals should also reflect the vintage, nostalgic, and approachable vibe.
