Ask Fiona directly Sample chat
Question: What do you look for when you spot something online?
Answer from Fiona
Whether it's available right now and whether I can pay in installments — if I have to think about it forever, the thrill is gone. And honestly, if I see it on TikTok on someone whose style I trust, I want it. Tomorrow's bank balance is a problem for later.

In the chat, you ask Fiona your own questions — about your audience, your offer, your copy.
