How do I Start a Successful Fashion Business?

Retail and eCommerce consultants Your Retail Coach is issuing this release to reach out to business audiences including aspiring fashion entrepreneurs and fashion startups in the fashion retail industry. The objective is to share an updated perspective on some of the key fundamentals involved in starting a fashion business geared for success. The insights are from the YRC's team of fashion business consulting experts ( https://www.yourretailcoach.in/industries/fashion-retail-clothing-consulting/ ).

Chicken or Egg

Is the business idea emanating from any existing internal expertise or leverage or in view of any external opportunity? The answer to this question changes the rest of the process involved in starting a clothing brand or any other fashion business. Now there is a fixed component against which the rest of the process has to be aligned before a more fundamental or rigid factor comes into the picture.

Market Research

Even if the product offering is just handkerchiefs, the ideal market conditions for business must exist. These conditions include demand and consumption, demographics, buying behaviour, production and quality, channel and distribution, etc. Market research ( https://www.yourretailcoach.in/ecommerce-market-research/ ) helps shed light on these variables.

Business Model Development

The essence of business model development ( https://www.yourretailcoach.in/business-model-development/ ) is identifying or discovering strong value propositions and mapping the value chain and its constituents. If handkerchiefs are considered as the offering, an ideal value proposition could be serving a niche segment (customers who buy and use handkerchiefs). Offering personalised designs could be another strong proposition if no one player is offering the same service.

Financial and Commercial Planning
Financial and commercial assessments are a universal requirement for all organisations. Apart from the general assessment areas (like costing, revenue, P/L, ROI, etc.), procurement and inventory calculations attain a significant place for fashion businesses. Planning the purchases is tricky here owing to demand fluctuations or changes in fashion trends and preferences. Holding on to inventory for too long proves costly.

Operations Planning

YRC recommends the use of Standard Operating Procedures ( https://www.yourretailcoach.in/standard-operating-procedures-consulting/ ) to map and define business processes. It applies to fashion businesses as well. To highlight the benefits, quality control could be used as a prime example where rigorous tests and checks could be involved at various junctures in the value chain.
