Fashion Business Plan: How to create your fashion business for consistent sales

I want you to use this section to audit your current fashion business and find any gaps so you can fix them. There is no point trying to fill the cup when the cup has leaks right?

These 8 questions are non-negotiables. If you don’t know any of these answers, you should pause and try to find answers. 

Fashion Busines Plan: #1 Who are your people?

If you say, everyone. That’s step one of failure. Everyone is welcome to buy from you but primarily, you need to pick a group to attract. Just imagine a big stadium filled with people and you are yelling “hey everyone… buy from me. I got clothes for everyone”. 

Now, how many people will actually notice you… No one right? Even if they did, they ignore you. 

For real our life is like a busy stadium. People are so busy with their jobs, family, friends, and tons of other stuff going on in their life. It was so hard to grab their attention. 

Instead imagine you went to a small group of people in that stadium and said, “Hey mama, are you not feeling confident with your clothing after you have your kid? Well, we can help you get in shape but we actually can make you look pretty in our clothing.” 

Now, how many people will get your attention? Every single mom out there… right?

That’s the power of the niche. If you are still trying to sell everyone, pause for a moment, and define your ideal customer.

Couple of tips to choose your people are:

• Look at your past customers that you absolutely loved working with. Pull all the qualities you like from them to define your person.
• Your ideal person is not broke and has money and willing to buy. End of the day you are the business. If people don’t have money, how can they even purchase?
• They are easy to sell. They are not really particular with every nagging detail. Eventually, you start to hate working with these people.
• You love working with them. This is important. You only can put your heart into your business only when you love your people. This person should be like your best friend.

Fashion Busines Plan: #2 Where do they hang out?

Once you identify who your person is, figure out where they hang out. 

• What youtube channels they watch, 
• which social media they are on most, 
• What blogs or magazines do they read
• What groups are they part of

You can absolutely survey your past customers and find out this information. Or If you are new, search for groups inside social media to find answers.

Ultimately this information helps you get in front of them. Either you can buy ads from these places or do some guest interviews or guest posts later to attract those people.

Fashion Busines Plan: #3 What do they need?

This is super important. Most people design clothes and then figure out who wants to buy them, But that’s totally opposite to how it’s done. This is why most people fail in their fashion business.

You need to really understand your personality and create designs that solve their problems. Think of what your ideal person needs in her wardrobe and see which pieces can you create. If she goes on vacation every year, Why not make a travel clothing line? 

Fashion Busines Plan: #4 What is your offer?

What most people do is, directly start with launching a clothing line.

But the problem is, that you need a lot of funding upfront and you cannot guarantee if that collection will be successful. Which is totally a risk. 

Instead, I recommend beginning with one small product and automating the process of selling it, so it keeps funding you for your collection and your business.

Fashion Busines Plan: #5 How do you get in front of them?

This is where you leverage social media channels. Choose one platform and use that to get in front of your customers. Alternatively, you can use Facebook ads, Instagram ads, or Pinterest ads to make things faster but that involves a little budget.

Pull the places from question 2 and do some guest posts in those places.

The whole idea is to get in front of your people and get them into your email list.

Fashion Busines Plan: #6 How do you connect with them?

Now you have them in your email list, this is where you keep in touch with them, educating them about your products, providing value, and building relationships with your audience.

Fashion Busines Plan: #7 How do you sell them?

This is all about which platform do you sell?

How do you sell without being salesy?

This is where people go wrong by spamming people with their product links inside groups and all that lame stuff. I promise there is a better way. I will show you step by step here.

Fashion Busines Plan: #8 How can you make them buy from you again and again?

This is all about delivering excellent customer service and turn your customers into raving fans, so they can buy from you again and again. 

You need to build your relationship with them because always remember “ People always like to buy from the people they like”. 

But what if you don’t have answers to these?

You got 2 options…

• This is the time to pause and find those answers. It takes a little time but totally doable. Or,
• Sign up for the Fashion Marketing Bootcamp and let me help you fill in those answers instantly.

Once you know all these questions, This is how you plan to grow your fashion business each year.

Fashion Business Plan for the profitable year 2021

Over the years, I have seen people who get totally overwhelmed by tons of projects that they have no time to complete. Or the people who do all the things but see no growth in their business and they don’t even know where their time goes…

If someone tells me that I don’t have time, It’s probably the lack of planning.

Not knowing what time they actually have and instead of prioritizing with projects that get results, they overcomplicate by doing all things.

• Now track your day like make a list of all the things you do in a day by hours. Like 6 am wakeup, 6.30 breakfast, etc… and look where you find time to do your work and where you can pull time from your day to add more to your work. Get practical on how much time you actually have in your day.
