    Love this video. Question when picking out merchandise I did, but how do I go about sizes. How do I market to people of different sizes and knowing the clothes will actually fit them? I bought a load of clothes and tried them and picked what I wanted to sell and what material was the best. I know what fits me but I do not know how to shop for other sizes. Do I buy the same item but in all in different sizes or do I buy a bunch of items that I like in my size so I can have a variety of items I can sell?

    Thanks for the info. This is the mistake that I made when I first started my jewelry boutique. I bought what I liked, without doing the research and only from one vendor. Only a few items sold and the rest I ended up giving away to friend's and family members. Unfortunately I had to learn from trial and error.

    Thank you so much for this informative video. I came across your channel and I love it. Right now I’m at a point where I want to give up on Poshmark, I made some sales but everything else is on stale. I need to reevaluate my items and follow your recommendations. Might give it a second chance. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • @MyBiblicalRomance
    @MyBiblicalRomance 7 років тому +4

    Hi is there a way you can find out for us how to find manufacturers who actually create your designs as far as jewelry necklaces, belt/belt buckles and shoes. I tried looking but they make typical things, my designs are 80s/90s inspired so chunky "gold " earrings is almost impossible to find a company who will make it and add my brand name on it. For example a channel chunky earring with the two c's on it, (obviously my brand initials will be on instead) where can I go to find someone who can make that style for me?!

      Elektra Lavont I am a fashion Designer although I do not do manufacturing work. For what you guys are speaking about you’d actually be looking for the services of a manufacturing company that most clothing labels utilize. However the pricing will not/is no the same as simply buying wholesale. Its usually a lot more expensive per piece and will have a minimum order amount to even take the work (say 1000 pieces) all depending on how small scale or large the operation you go to is. This isn’t including other price points that may be added such as patternmaking if you want master patterns, grading for different sizes etc. Now on the flip side it is possible to find and deal with small scale designers or independent artists such as myself and others to create for your label and it saves some money as they will usually do so on a much smaller amount and scale however this is very hard to find as most designers don’t want to take on the hard work and lower pay to create for someone else’s brand things they could create themselves and sell full price and receive all the money for, if that makes sense. Manufacturing companies have the man power and clientele to make orders for others quickly and with fast turn around as well as the minimum order, that’s what makes it lucrative for them but for your average independent designer, it’s just not worth it. Now design students or someone fresh out of school may be your best bet to take on some work like this. I did this with an athletics brand making hoodies for her and I hated it for the reasons above, Low pay per piece and hard work, I was basically sewing and constructing the whole thing then adding her label for her to sell for more then she paid me to make it 😠 but that’s the business and I was new so I did it for a while for experience. Knowing how to create my own things now I never would again lol. I know this is long but hope it helps!

      Not necessarily, many suppliers should not provide customized labels.
      But a friend of mine said that this www.fashiontiy.com/index.html?Kathy can provide customized label service, I think you should need it!

    Hello, I am a young African lady studying in Luxembourg. I am starting an online shop for African products with contemporary designs (Beaded necklace, Artwork,Clothing).I want to know how to get started as i am currently surrounded by European. How do i make a concrete argument for the products I am going to sell(such as why am i selling African products, What needs am i solving with such a business model, why should they patronize African products,etc). I would begin with beaded necklace. Most people love to use beaded jewelry to add a touch to their clothing, but what need is it really satisfying supposing I have to answer that to a group of investors. Can you help me know concretely who my consumers are?-everybody is a potential client, but how do i state it well as my target customer segment. I hope to get more information and ideas on these questions and even more on how to get started. thank u.

    Hello Monika
    I just recently found you and I am learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge to help others.
    I have a home-based business making Handcrafted Cold Processed and Melt and Pour Soaps along with a variety of other skincare items. My long term goal is to own a store that is either attached to my home or a seperate building on the same property. I have several shorter term goals along the way. One is to start teaching soap in a way that will bring hope to women who fell less than important in life. I love to encourage and I see this as a way to do so.
