Where to start selling online? How do I start selling clothes online? How much does it cost to open an e-commerce?
It may sound trivial, but the tools used to sell fashion online are not always easy to be chosen.
Take for example communication tools such as Instagram, Facebook or the various social networks, which are not always the most effective means of communicating with their target audience.
The same thing happens with e-commerce.
In our exclusive Facebook group We often talk about similar topics, sign up to stay updated.
So here are the warnings on 4 most common mistakes when deciding to sell online:
Choosing the e-commerce platform wrong.
Not understanding and not knowing one's online target.
Expressing yourself with weak and unaddressed messages from the brand.
Initially trying to offer too many extra services to the initial subject.
These are the solutions that we at Be A Designer, together with the audience of our group, have achieved:
CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE E-COMMERCE PLATFORM ACCORDING TO THE PRODUCT AND THE REQUESTER
Choose experts in the field and check reviews. Platforms such as Prestashop, Magento, WooCommerce and Shopify can give you confidence in terms of effectiveness if set up properly.
Evaluating the right platform will give you the opportunity to curate your site by displaying your product in the right way through tables, animations, questions, interactions, etc. It is important to analyse the customer experience and set up an effective multi-channel strategy.
The fixed fee is generally variable between basic and premium versions, which often also offer additional marketing and promotion services.
Furthermore, in case you would also like to consider having another sales channel, we recommend you consider the various online marketplaces.
RECOGNISE WHO YOUR ONLINE CUSTOMERS WILL BE BASED ON OFFLINE DATA
How to succeed in selling clothes on the Internet? Knowing your target audience.?
Once you have contacted the experts who will create your e-commerce and connect your online management system, it's up to you.
You will have to determine:
Which channels will you use to interact with your customers (Facebook, Instagram, telegram, pinterest, google , your site's blog, etc..)
Define when one of your customers buys online.
What extra services the customer needs: personal shoppers, customer care, promotions for regular customers, etc.? These needs are studied by examining customers over time, malways improving from one previous customer to the next.
You don't need many people to determine what your specific target group might be.
Even if there is little flow in your shop, taking into account the points just listed could get ahead of your competitorswhich are already present online but have not yet determined who their target group might be. A shop with little customer flow can still examine the characteristics of its audience. Understanding the target audience better than your competitors can get you off on the right foot.
