Hooks · Shoe stores

Opening lines that stop the scroll for shoe stores

Open with size or comfort, because those are the only two things stopping the order. Shoe shops keep opening with a slow pan across the rack, which tells a buyer nothing. Say the centimetre figure, bend the sole on camera, or name the fortnight the season rack is up.

Using these hooks

How do I use these hooks?

Should I use them word for word?

Use the shape, change the words. These are written for shoe 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.
