Best Practices

• •Embrace "Savvy Chic": Always balance the "savvy" (smart, value-driven, thrifty) with the "chic" (stylish, curated, quality). Avoid language that sounds overly cheap or, conversely, too inaccessible. The tone is aspirational yet attainable.
• •Highlight the "Second Life" Narrative: Consistently weave in the sustainability aspect and the story behind items getting a new chapter. This adds warmth, purpose, and differentiates from fast fashion. Use phrases like "pre-loved," "gently used," "new-to-you," "give it a new story."
• •Foster a Sense of Discovery and Excitement: Use enthusiastic language that reflects the "thrill of the hunt." Words like "discover," "treasure," "gem," "score," "just landed," "don't miss out" can create this feeling.
• •Be Approachable and Community-Focused: Use a friendly, conversational voice. Address the customer directly (e.g., "you'll love," "let us help you"). Reference local Gainesville connections, events, and the community spirit whenever relevant.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, the Quality: Instead of just saying "high quality," describe the brands, the condition, or the unique features of items. For designer pieces, mentioning the brand name often speaks for itself in terms of perceived quality and value. Ensure visual consistency in photography that matches the "chic" and "curated" vibe.
