• CONVINCING ONLINE PEOPLE TO BUY YOUR CLOTHES

    If you’re just starting out as a fashion designer, selling your clothes online can be tough for two reasons: people don’t know who your brand it and aren’t quite sure if your clothing is high-quality/fits them.   And you kinda, well, get them. There’s no way to tell if a particular clothing item you see online will fit you and you have idea if that M-sized T-shirt is just as M-sized as the rest of T-shirts out there.   While fitting will always remain among the prime concerns of the customers looking to buy clothes online, you can easily make it easier for your customers to buy the right fitting and size.   There’s one Vimeo video by ModCloth that shows just about the right strategy to make it easier for your customers to buy the correct size.   Selling a look   Driving up sales online can be easily done if you sell a look in addition to separate clothing items.   Look, when people are shopping on your E-commerce website, there’s a big chance that they are shopping not just for one item, but multiple items.   You can make their shopping experience much more convenient and enjoyable if you start selling a complete look. I’d recommend adding the “Complete the look” section on each product page.   There you would be putting the multiple of your items together by displaying a complete look. This way, you’re showing your customers that this particular item would look good in combination with this and that.   It can become a very effective strategy of convincing online people to buy your clothes. Also, consider featuring that “you might also be interested in” section below each of your product.   It helps your customers see that you do have many items to offer to satisfy all of their needs – whether they’re looking for casual style, chic or something more elegant and classy.   .

  • HERE’S HOW YOU’RE (UNINTENTIONALLY) KILLING YOUR SALES

      My clients often ask me to explain why they aren’t seeing the sales they want. Well, I’ve studied enough sales strategies of numerous fashion brands to say this: you’re unintentionally killing your sales in business.

    Your website drags you down

    In the year of 2017, having a well-built and sophisticated website for your fashion brand (+ well-planned social media campaign) is e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g not only for your brand reputation but also sales. Hey, bad news is this – if you’ve created a simple website and occasionally post something on social media, no one will want to buy your stuff. Sad but true. It will take some time (and finances) to build a website that truly helps you SELL your products. You’ll have to hire a team of professionals who will regularly update your website’s content and keep it fresh and trendy. Social media linking, blogging, SEO, brand awareness, imagery, product descriptions – all of these things are vital factors to consider when working on your own website.

    You’re having too many discounts too often

    Although that might seem like the perfect strategy to attract customers and boost sales, it actually makes you look desperate for attention. Having sales and promos too often, or putting everything 50% off on a quarterly basis is no good strategy for sales. Make discounts special – something for your customers to look forward to.

    You’re afraid to sell

    It happens with many (practically all) designers – they are afraid to sell. I’m seeing this constantly: designers don’t think some of their pieces are worthy, and they underestimate their fashion business. To always stay on the right track, remind yourself these things when you’re feeling afraid to sell:
    • Your products are useful to the customer for this and that reason.
    • You started your fashion business for a reason.
    • If people are buying clothes from (*insert the name of your rivaling brand here*), why wouldn’t they buy my stuff?
    These 3 things are very damaging to sales strategies of so many aspiring brands out there. Don’t make those mistakes!
