Captions that get replies for thrift stores
Thrift captions exist to make the live run smoothly. State the claiming rule, the payment window and the measurement every time, because the same three arguments happen otherwise. Most pages caption a jacket with 'available' and then spend the evening replying to fifty people asking the size.

Using these captions
How do I use these captions?
Thrift captions exist to make the live run smoothly. State the claiming rule, the payment window and the measurement every time, because the same three arguments happen otherwise. Most pages caption a jacket with 'available' and then spend the evening replying to fifty people asking the size.
Should I use them word for word?
Use the shape, change the words. These are written for thrift stores generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.
Do these work in Urdu?
Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
