Best Practices

• •Emphasize "Friendly & Helpful": Always use warm, approachable language. Frame communications as a helpful guide or a friendly chat. Train staff to embody this in-person and online.
• •Highlight "Quality & Value" Together: Don't just say "cheap" or "discount." Use phrases like "upscale finds at great prices," "designer deals," or "quality you can afford" to convey both aspects.
• •Foster "Community Spirit": Mention local ties, anniversaries, or how consigning/shopping supports the local circular economy. Use inclusive language like "our community of shoppers."
• •Inject "Enthusiasm for Discovery": Use words that convey excitement about new items, unique finds, and the "thrill of the hunt." Words like "discover," "treasure," "unique," "gem," "unearth."
• •Be "Clear and Trustworthy": Provide straightforward information, especially regarding the consignment process, item standards, and pricing. Ensure online descriptions are accurate and honest, reflecting the positive feedback seen on platforms like eBay.
