Best Practices

• •Prioritize Authenticity & Trust: Continuously emphasize the 100% authenticity guarantee in communications, especially for new product listings and in "About Us" sections. This builds foundational trust.
• •Speak the Sneaker Language: Use terminology and references that resonate with sneaker enthusiasts (e.g., "grails," "deadstock," "colorway," specific model nicknames) while remaining accessible enough for newer collectors.
• •Showcase Passion & Enthusiasm: Let the genuine love for sneakers shine through in videos, social media captions, and even product descriptions. Share stories, engage with comments enthusiastically, and highlight the culture.
• •Be Approachable and Community-Focused: Encourage interaction, feature customer stories or pickups (with permission), and respond to DMs and comments in a friendly, helpful manner. Foster a sense of belonging.
• •Maintain Transparency (within Business Practices): Clearly state policies (returns, shipping, buyback process) to manage expectations. Explain pricing for buybacks if relevant in content, reinforcing fairness.
