• •Community

Best Practices

• •Speak Like a Friend (Who's Also a Mum/Parent): Use warm, approachable, and empathetic language. Share relatable parenting moments or insights where appropriate. Address your audience directly (e.g., "As a mum of three, I understand...").
• •Emphasize "Preloved, Not Second-Best": Always frame second-hand items positively, highlighting their quality, the stories they hold, and the "second chance" they represent. Use terms like "preloved," "gently used," "excellent condition."
• •Weave in Sustainability Naturally: Connect the act of buying preloved to its positive environmental impact. Make it feel like a shared goal rather than a lecture (e.g., "Join us in combating fast fashion," "Let's make sustainable fashion the first choice!").
• •Build Community Through Your Words: Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "our community"). Encourage interaction, ask questions, and share user-generated content or testimonials. Foster a sense of belonging.
• •Be Authentic and Transparent: Share the story behind the brand and the people involved. If issues arise (like the dilemma of overstock discussed in the blog), address them openly. Honesty builds trust, which is crucial for a brand encouraging a shift in consumer behaviour.
