2. Where to Start
Before diving into the intricate details of design and production, it’s essential to ask two fundamental questions that will shape the entire venture.
Key Takeaways:
2.1 Two Big Questions
2.2 Your brand’s pulse starts with your idea.
2.3 The Emotional Journey of Fashion Entrepreneurship
2.1 Two Big Questions
The fashion landscape is evolving, and old formulas no longer guarantee success.
To navigate this dynamic industry, Instead of thinking what you should do, ask yourself
just these 2 questions:
1. Who is your customer and what their lifestyle is?
2. What do you really LOVE to create?
Once you have answered the two main questions, we will guide you through the next set of crucial questions.
2.2 Your brand’s pulse starts with your idea.
The best place to begin is the area that has the most impact on your business and must be considered at each and every part of the process; the customer.
Without the customer, there’s not a business – simple as that.
Your idea must harmonize with a distinct niche, making your customer the heartbeat of your success.
It’s possible that if you’re reading this guide, you’ve already an idea that you want to propose.
If no, we suggest you to focus on one niche (ex: evening wear, bags, shoes…) using our K.I.S.S. formula: “Keep It Simple, Student!”
In order to do so start small with few key pieces.
Not many people know that Ralph Lauren started out his fashion empire with just one product: ties.
So craft the perfect one or two standout “Hot Products”, and remember:
– Your idea is your customer.
– You should really think about who will buy your stuff otherwise it will not work.
2.3 The Emotional Journey of Fashion Entrepreneurship
I often observe emerging brands falling into a common pitfall – attempting to appeal to everyone.
Yet, the key to breaking through the noise in the saturated fashion market is precision.
If you’re trying to sell to everyone, you’ll end up selling to no one.
Precision is power.
Instead of a broad approach, zone in on your ideal customer.
Tailor your brand to resonate with what truly matters to them.
Sure, this is going to put people off who aren’t a good fit for your brand, but view it as a positive – if they’re not the right fit, they wouldn’t have been your customers anyway.
Being remarkably specific creates a bond with potential customers, fostering a brand they adore.
This not only aids in attracting them initially but also ensures their loyalty, bringing them back to you repeatedly.
Strategic Simplicity: Resisting the Temptation to Have it All
Not wanting it all is a key Hint! Resist the urge to have it all.
Explore profitable niches like modest fashion, slogan wear, kids’ apparel, or +Size for a winning formula.
Beyond considering the age and style of your target customer, delve into their interests, values, and lifestyle.
Selling in the realm of fashion is an emotional journey – it’s not about needing more clothes; it’s about wanting them. Understanding customer psychology is fundamental for fashion brand owners.
3. How to Define Your Brand Identity
Your brand identity is more than just a logo or a name; it’s the essence of your brand.
It’s about creating a unique and memorable identity that resonates with your audience.
In this section, we’ll explore the intricacies of shaping a distinctive brand that stands out.
