My special guest today is Jacki Bresic and she’s simplifying how to launch a fashion brand + drive sales.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- What the very first step is for someone who wants to launch a fashion brand. Where to begin:
- Define how you will determine success
- Define your core values and mission
- The breakdown of the basic elements of having a product-based business – design, manufacturing, stock, channels to sell, and more
- How to determine how much inventory to hold at any given time, using the wisdom of the roulette wheel
- Which is better – “print-on-demand” vs. “pre-buying inventory” each season. What the pros and cons of each approach are as it relates to fashion
- …and ultimately, what the first steps are to creating a digital strategy for your fashion brand.
I’ve been a small business owner for nearly 18 years now and I’ve always offered a service-based business… first starting off as an event producer, then moving into online education, and now business coaching and keynote speaking. Product-based businesses were never my jam, but I learned in this conversation how many parallels there are to both types.
It’s simpler than you think.
I teach my clients how to productize their service-based businesses when I coach them through making a simplified business plan. So it was a fruitful conversation to learn how simple it can be to launch a fashion brand and drive sales with a few key elements in place as Jacki shares. If this has been a dream of yours for a long time, I hope this episode sparks greater confidence to help you #dothething!
