3 Key Tips to Grow Your Online Fashion Store

With amazing platforms like Digitise, building and launching an online fashion store is easy. But, what are some of the ‘secret sauce’ tips one can use to ensure that their online shop succeeds where others fail?

1. REFERENCE PRICE

When visiting a physical, brick-and-mortar store, have you ever noticed that the first shelves you see always have average-priced goods as opposed to the expensive items? This is because traditional stores use this as a way to grab the attention of customers and give them an immediate indication of the price-range that items will likely be marked at throughout the store. Having an expensive item at the front can deter your potential customers, and this is the same for online stores.

What to do: Ensure your landing and category pages pull average-price items that will appeal to a wider audience. If you can pull personalised, recommended and curated items to fit your customer’s preference, this is even better.

2. CLEARANCE SALES

Online shopping

One of the best age-old strategies to generate interest and business is running a clearance sale. Smaller online stores tend to forget this, as they work on smaller margins and want to retain stock, but the truth is, selling older stock or having a clearance sale at the end of a season can help generate revenue and refresh your product range. Branding these sales is key too.

What to do: instead of calling them generic ‘clearance sales’, try and curate the items as a ‘summer sale’, ‘50%-off sale’, or ‘minimalist t-shirt sale’, for example. This specification will help target the right customers. This is called dynamic merchandising.

3. DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE GUYS

While female online shopping makes up a huge portion of the online sales revenue, there’s a massive gap to capitalise on in the male demographic. Men’s clothing gets less attention, but statistics show that men are extremely interested in shopping online more.

What to do: Providing a comprehensive, simple, and tailored online shopping experience for men can be a sure-fire hit if done correctly.
