(This is a clip from our List Buiilding for Fashion & Jewelry Designers class.) Why will people buy from you instead of somebody else? It's important in your business to know what you're selling and to have words for it. If you know EXACTLY what you're selling, you can say it in every video, and in all of your copy and marketing messages. Most of us worry that if we get narrow with our marketing message, we won't have a big enough audience to sell to. We tend to worry that a tight niche could be too narrow, but the opposite is true. Going narrow nelps your sales! And the thing is, it's hard. It's actually super hard to know what you're selling and be able to say it so people "get it" right away. The goal is to define a unique selling point (USP) for your products (or even start with just a category of your products) that people understand. This episode is a clip from a recent online class and my guest is jewelry designer, Magdalena, from MNOP Jewelry.

Want to sell more gift cards ruight now? i've been testing a few things with our native gardening website, and wowza! Here's what I learned... Your gift card conversions will go up if you do these 4 things: Tell them the "right" amount to buy (so they don't have to think) Tell them exactly what the cards can be used for (cuz grandma isn't your ideal customer and won't understand your brand or what you sell) Give them immediate gratification (like an instant PDF download to wrap up as a present) Offer a Gift Card bonus (this is optional, but we know not everyone will redeem their gift, so it won't really hurt margins) This will only take about 20 minutes and it works. You can watch the vide with EXAMPLES and SCREENSHOTS AT THIS LINK: https://youtu.be/DzKoK7JpOwI?si=mJnH1s6_EMUaY6e5 LMK what happens after you try it. xo - Jane https://fashionbrainacademy.com/…

ANd let's face it, your customers are seeing MAJOR deals from everry other company and a site wide discount is kind of a snore to them. There's a strategy that works better. Mystery bundles.

Or space them out into smaller chunks or 2 - 3 products at a time?" 2) Costing and Pricing for wholesale sales: "How do I add in my sales rep's commission without cutting into the retailler's profit margin?" 3) "How do I know if my new products will sell?" This is especially tricky for entrepreneurs who design the product and are responsible for selling it. In fact, it's a total mindf**k.

The Barbie movie is taking over the world. Have you seen it yet? Back in 2006, I did an essay about Barbie for NPR's This I Believe series, titled A Grown-Up Barbie. Like many girls, I learned to sew so I could make clothes for my Barbie. The essay is about how the blond-haired, blue eyed Malibu Barbie affected my red-haired, freckled self -- and my career as a fashion designer. An excerpt: "I consider myself a feminist and I feel like a moron admitting it, but it's true: I believe in Barbie. For me, as a kid, Barbie was about cool clothes, a cool job, cool friends and cool accessories: the airplane, the apartment building and the camper. I learned to sew so I could make outfits for Barbie and her friends, who took turns being the airplane pilot, the doctor, the fashion designer. Barbie was never about Ken. He was always a little dusty and in the corner."

He's currently working on his second clothing business -- this one in the mountain bike apparel niche, called El Roo Bike. Grant shares his failures, struggles, and the ways he thought things would go. "I spent all this money trying to develop this artwork for these stupid damn t shirts and no one liked them." I had to have the perfect pattern. I had to have the perfect material. I had to have the perfect artwork. I had to have the perfect this... Meanwhile,months are going by, and I'm not making any progress. I was stuck in that concept phase and the dollars just keep going and going and going. I was totally of the "build it and they will come" mentality. Which did not happen. I had no customers. Week one, I was dead in the water and couldn't run any ads. I'm serious, my ads ran on Facebook for like, a day. I'm still in the stumble phase, but the stumbles are getting easier to recover from.

I have a habit of ordering books online and promptly NOT reading them. I want to read them, I plan on it, but I don't always do it. The 5 books I recommend in this episode I have read cover to cover and I believe every clothing, fashion, or acccessories designer would benefit from. 1 that's just for fun -- for anyone who loves fashion and/or old-school NYC stories (I've given it to dozens of clients over the years) 2 for sewn product expertise, manufacturing truths & resources 1 that's an HONEST journey of a very successful designer and the BS she had to put up wit And the last one is for every entrepreneurs on the planet. This one will save you a crapload of frustration - especially for those of us designer/maker types.
