Best Practices

• •Embrace the Retro Vibe Authentically: Use language, references, and imagery that genuinely resonate with the retro gaming era. Avoid forced or inauthentic slang. Let the passion for classic games shine through.
• •Prioritize Transparency and Honesty: When describing pre-owned or refurbished items, be upfront about their condition, any restoration processes, and potential variations (like reprinted cover art). This builds trust, which is crucial for second-hand goods.
• •Keep it Enthusiastic but Grounded: Share excitement for the products, but balance it with factual information about quality checks and condition. The enthusiasm should feel genuine, not just like a sales tactic.
• •Engage with the Community's Language: Pay attention to how retro gaming communities talk. Use terminology and share sentiments that show you're part of that world, not just selling to it. (e.g., references to specific consoles, game mechanics, or nostalgic experiences).
• •Be Consistent Across All Channels: Whether it's a TikTok caption, a product page on Walmart, an eBay listing, or the website's blog, the core tone (nostalgic, trustworthy, enthusiastic) should be recognizable. Develop a simple style guide for reference.
