Starting a Sustainable Fashion Brand

[greencotton]

Hello,

Hope this finds you well. 

We're a Boston based Mindful Living slow fashion startup and would like to some recommendations for story telling and brand strategy firms to help us with our messaging.  Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for you assistance.

Hey Shannon, it's very nice to meet you.

I've been working in sustainable retailing and ethical production for over a decade. Now I'm trying to get more brands to commit to sustainability & the circular economy, and to provide them with resources and technology to do that.

It would be great to build a community of Shopify merchants that are also focused on sustainability.

Count Vedalia in and please let us know how to help build this critical community.

Hello, hopefully all are staying safe and healthy.

We started a small online sustainable line in March 2020.

Any advice on our website or how to convert the views to sales will be a great help.

Thank you in advance.

I don't know why when you think to start a business everybody started to demoralize you that its not possible or other things like that. like I want to start an ecommerce business but my relatives are giving me other third class suggestions I don't know how to deal with them

Hi,

We recently launched a Shopify app called the Fashion Impact Tool and are currently offering a free trial.  

Our tool is used to help retailers highlight their sustainability efforts and build enduring relationships with their customers. Sustainability is increasingly important to customers and will be particularly topical as we approach Black Friday during a global pandemic.

Fashion Impact is easy to use and, as you are already on Shopify, hassle-free to install. Our tool uses AI to extract data from your inventory and displays banners with positive sustainability ratings at the product-level, as well as at the bottom of the customer cart. Although you can customize the banners and ratings where you see fit, the heavy-lifting is done by our software so won't require any extra effort from you.

Thanks for putting this thread together! 

My company thrift collective provides tech and marketing solutions for sustainable secondhand companies. If you are a vintage or thrift store on shopify, get in touch and we can chat about how Thrift Collective can list your products for you so you never have to photo edit, measure, describe, or list again. 

We only work with secondhand clothing companies and sustainable creators to make sure the clothes that have already been made have a better chance of being used again. 

Cheers, 

Thrift Collective.
