Be specific, more details on what you post to gain trust

Are you brand conscious? Is that has something to do with the quality? If so, how do you know? Well here is why to have sincere and educative product information when you post something or even running an advert . The cost of living is high, and people need to know what do they get when they buy. The fancy bombastic word isn't going to get the product lifespan longer but providing adequate information will help buyer to get what they are suppose to get and they will trust the product.

Let me give some examples on what should be displayed to public and what is actually not really disclosed. As a start, I would like to start in your wardrobe where most of your garments are there.

I would like to start with fabric whereby most of your cloths and pants are purchased. Why you pay for a certain amount to buy shirt or pants? whether it is cotton, wool, denim, etc. This should be a considerable choice before you purchase. There are certain properties that distinguish high-quality cottons from low-quality. Quality of the fabric is usually measured by counts. A wool count is called as "super 70s, super 100s, and go's up to "super 250s". Cotton is  measured by counts and may go up to 340. 2 ply or 3ply cotton is strong and durable when compared to single ply. Linen is measured by LEA. A 44 LEA or 60 LEA is thick n not soft or durable while the highest quality of linen is 150 LEA as far as o know n have seen and is very thin and soft and light weight.

Leather is not technically a fabric but a material. The quality of a leather piece mainly depends on what type of “grain” it has. You might want to take a lighter and burn some part of the leather to see it's a real leather? Well  that is some way to measure but you are not going to spoil that expensive leather don't you?

Full-grain leather is generally considered the highest-quality type and refers to leather that has not been sanded, buffed or corrected to retain the skin’s natural fibre strength and durability. Top-grain (also called corrected grain) and split grain leather have been more heavily processed (the top layer of the skin is usually removed), and are therefore not as durable as full grain leather, and also won’t develop that coveted natural patina of high-quality leather over time. One way to check whether a leather item was made from full-grain leather is to look closely at the tiny grains on the fabric. Do they look natural or printed? Full-grain leather contains all the natural imperfections from the animal it came from. Brands that use corrected leather will sometimes print marks back on to the sanded leather, to add authenticity. Some more notes on leather quality:

A major downside of leather is that it can be permanently creased. When you buy a new piece, make sure it does not already have any scratch marks. On unworn pieces those usually signify that the leather is either brittle or very high maintenance.

Check how the individual pieces of leather are attached. Were they sewn together or glued? Stitching takes longer than gluing and is therefore more expensive for brands, but it creates a stronger hold between the pieces. Any visible remains of glue are a definite no-go.

A great alternative to real leather is faux (or vegan) leather, which usually consists of a polyurethane coating on a fibrous layer. High-quality faux leather can be just as durable as real leather, is generally more affordable, easier to maintain, won’t lighten as much in the sun - and doesn’t involve the death of animals.

Just like real leather, faux leather should feel as supple as possible, not have any obvious scratch marks and the individual parts of the item should be sewn, rather than glued together. Low-quality faux leather will often have an obvious plastik-y, shiny look to it, higher quality pieces are almost indistinguishable from animal leather, at least to non-experts. So: Avoid shiny, go for soft and supple and, when in doubt, thicker tends to be better. Faux leather can be lightweight, but it should never feel thin or flimsy.

That was going a bit detail but I would like to talk on the general aspects of what information you should obtain  when posting, buying things. Ok let's move to the outside of the house which is your car (lets skip motorbike). Well for frugal person like me, one of the first aspect is to look at  the fuel consumption (FC). What determine better FC is simply the weight, horsepower  engine capacity, the engine technology and the gearbox. On most car brochure will display the urban  sub urban and combined FC that a car can go in KM per litre or x litre use per 100KM. For a sedan or hatchback from A to D segment, anything 12 to 17km per litre or 5.5L-8.8L per 100 KM is consider good FC. An engine with variable cam (exhaust and intake) will give you better FC, therefore, going for VVT or double VVT you surely will get better FC. Otherwise, try to find a ligh car. The lighter the car is, the more better FC it will give, but we don't want to compromise on the safety. Therefore, choosing a 4 to 5 star crash rating is important if you consider the lightest car to get the best FC.

Finally, where you pay to fill up your stomach. You see, it's not about how delicious the food you ordered, you must know how much are you getting. Most restaurants will put a description of the ingredient however, not all put in the information on weight of the food that will give you an indication of the size that will make you full after eaten it.

Speaking on what makes your stomach full, you should know whether is it coming from carbohydrates, fat, protein or even sugar? Again do you know what are you paying for? You need to know because the expensive nutrients is not carbohydrates or fat. Carbs and fat are everywhere so why you should pay a hefty price for that in whatever cook formed. It's the protein and the vitamin and minerals.

So now you you've got some idea of what to include in your post esp in your social media. Describing why you like that product with additional information as given earlier will give more reason for your audience to to listen and might agree with you rather than vague and general information like " i like it because it taste good" "i like it because it's cool"
