Ad copy

We found 47 stores selling copies of our hoodie last month. Not one of them donates a cent. I need to talk about this because it's gotten out of control. When I started DearPersonCo after losing my sister, the whole point was to put her message on people's backs so it could reach strangers she'd never meet. "you are enough" on the front. "Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it" on the back. We donate a portion of every sale to mental health organizations. That's why this exists. That's the only reason. And then it started selling. A lot. And the second it did, the copycats showed up. At first it was one or two stores. We sent takedown notices and they disappeared. Then it was ten. Then twenty. Last month my team found 47 separate stores selling knockoffs of our hoodie. Same message. Same layout. Same fonts. Some of them even copied our product photos. Not one of them donates anything. Not a cent to mental health. Not a cent to suicide prevention. Nothing. They saw a product that was selling and they copied it to make money. That's it. And the worst part is that some of you bought from them thinking it was us. I get messages every week from people saying "my hoodie fell apart after two washes" or "the text started peeling off" or "I never got a shipping confirmation." And every single time I have to tell them it wasn't ours. That breaks my heart. Because you spent your money thinking you were supporting a mission and instead it went to someone who doesn't care about the message at all. So here's what we're doing about it. We're filing DMCA takedowns on every single one. We have a legal team now and they're going through them one by one. Some have already been shut down. More will follow. And we added something to the hoodie so you never have to wonder again. There's now a DEARPERSONCO badge on the left sleeve. A raised rubber patch you can feel with your fingers. If your hoodie has the badge, it's real. If it doesn't, it's not from us. I shouldn't have to do this. I shouldn't have to prove that my sister's message is mine. But here we are. And I'd rather spend the money protecting it than let someone profit off her story without giving anything back. If you already own one of ours, thank you. You're the reason we can keep doing this. If you've been thinking about getting one, please make sure you're on the real site. dearpersonco.store. That's the only place that's us. We're running up to 55% off sitewide right now. This is the biggest sale we've done all year and once it's over it's not coming back for a while. If you've been waiting, this is it. Every purchase from the real site means a portion goes to mental health organizations. Every purchase from a knockoff means nothing goes to anyone. That's the difference. https://dearpersonco.store/products/the-dear-person-hoodie
