Hi @shellmiddy
Thanks for the question.
I can appreciate how much competition there is in the apparel space, but strategies differ based on the audience you are targeting. Children’s clothing and men’s basketball shoes are quite different. I’ll try to be as accurate as I can with the information you’ve provided.
Strategies are built around a few key principles:
- Who your target customer is
- Where your target customer consumes information
- What your target customer values
- Your competition
You need to know as much information as possible about your customer as possible to create an effective marketing strategy.
Please keep in mind, strategies and tactics still need to be tested and challenged because customers, competition, products and purchasing behaviours change over time.
The biggest piece of advice I can give is try to focus on attracting new customers to your site every day. Focus on one platform and get that channel working before branching into others.
