Are you shopping online with COVID-19 on the rise? Since the pandemic began in March, a lot has changed with E-Commerce. Clothing stores were forced to close due to government-issued orders. Online shopping has increased significantly because more people are at home working remotely.
I am a fashion designer, store owner of J. Francais. Just like millions of other brick-and-mortars, they were in the same boat as I was. Clothing retailers were temporarily closed and I witnessed a change in my business.
I relied on customers coming into J.Francais but this was the time that I needed to increase my online exposure. I had to implement new strategies to attract customers to my website. I would ask people on social media to subscribe to my email list, direct messaging potential customers, and emailing large corporations to show the products and services I offered.
So they say, “Social media is it!” There are billions of people utilizing Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Tiktok!
How can I reach these potential customers for my brand? I have amazing products, I will always deliver exceptional customer service, but one of my goals is to have tons of traffic driven to my website!
Now I’m thinking of ideas such as: Collaborating with another designer, hosting a contest-prize-give away, and connecting with an influencer.
By doing this, I will increase exposure to my business and gain new customers.
I will stay consistent, and greatness will follow!
