Just how challenging is it to start a clothing label of your own?

The fashion industry is a notoriously hard nut to crack, but with the right research, planning and tools, it can be done. Dedication, hard work and persistence do pay off.


In order to start a successful and profitable clothing label, you need to be both innovative and business minded as well as open-minded and forward-thinking.


You probably have a pretty good idea of the type of product you want to develop your brand around. But in order to build something that will resonate with your audience and deliver profitable growth, you will need to also thoroughly research these important areas:


FIND YOUR NICHE


Any successful product has to be in demand. If there is a need for it, people will not buy it. You must know your target market and be familiar with their specific needs and wants.

Focusing on a specific group of people will make your product much easier to market and will position you where you can achieve long term consumer loyalty and an avid following.

BE INNOVATIVE


With fierce competition, you will also need to make your designs fresh and unique, so that they enchant and capture your target audience. If you have no relevant fashion industry experience then finding the right designer to help you with your design creation is crucial. Find a designer that has similar values and aspirations to you.


CONSIDER QUALITY


In todays ever evolving market place, consumers are more discerning than ever before. They will choose brands that offer quality over quantity and that offer a clear "story" or authenticity. Throwaway fashion is in decline and design with longevity and detail that can be passed through generations is now more appealing to an ethically-conscious consumer.

FIND YOUR VOICE


Brands with loyal followings create simple, effective brand messages and relay them through social media to support growth. You must represent your brand in a way that is unique and highlights your key strengths without being overwhelming.

Lifestyle brands that customers can aspire to are constantly emerging and offer a complete solution to niche audiences.
