Mejores Prácticas

• •Stay Authentic to Skate & Music Roots: Always speak from a place of genuine passion. Use language and references that resonate with these cultures (e.g., "shred," "grind," "wax," specific artist/band names, skate trick names when appropriate).
• •Engage Like a Fellow Enthusiast: Respond to comments and messages with the same enthusiasm you'd show a friend in the shop. Share user-generated content to build community.
• •Keep it Visually Coherent: Use high-quality, dynamic photos and videos of products, skateboarding action (if possible, or community reposts), and music-related imagery. Let the visuals reinforce the "cool" and "authentic" vibe.
• •Highlight Community & History: Regularly mention your local roots, years in business, and the community you serve. This reinforces your value as a trusted, established presence.
• •Balance Information with Vibe: While it's important to share product details and news, always do it with the characteristic enthusiasm and slight edge of the brand. Avoid overly corporate or dry language. Use relevant hashtags to connect with the wider community.
