If you’re a retailer who also offers sells your goods via an ecommerce, then you’re probably aware of what a large revenue potential there is online. Thanks to mobile devices and the Internet, people located across the world can shop your location and purchase goods if you allow it.
Even if you sell solely online, there are many opportunities to run a successful business.
However, just like a brick and mortar location where you’re competing with a similar shop down the street, online there are hundreds of thousands of sellers only a click away.
Some of the larger e-commerce sites may have a competitive edge, but that doesn’t mean you cannot win over customers.
Here are some tips for competing against larger e-commerce giants to sell your apparel and accessories online.
1. Find a Niche
The things about large box retailers is they tend to keep a general stock of large quantity items. While this may cut it with some goods, most people who are looking for fashion and apparel items are looking for style, uniqueness and one of a kind designs. Lucky for you, most be ecommerce sites can’t deliver on that. Find a niche, such as Western fashion and stick to it. Market your products to that segment and keep your inventory focused on their needs.
2. Create Unique Promotions
Customers today are driven by offers personalized to their specific needs. Targeted advertising helps deliver the offers customers need at just the right time. It’s important that you understand your customers and present offers that relate to their desires and needs. If they’ve abandoned their shopping cart with items in it, perhaps you reach out via email with an offer to help get them to finish their purchase. If a customer has just purchased a taupe poncho, maybe you offer a matching accessory like a bracelet that matches for them to consider.
3. Use Technology to Your Advantage
The great thing about online technologies is that they are constantly growing and improving. E-commerce retailers have access to tools that improve their website layout, shopping and checkout experience and can even boost their search results. Take the time to ensure all of your pages and product listings are properly optimized for search results to appear alongside larger company listings for a chance shoppers will click your listing for their purchase.
