  • Choosing Your Unique Selling Point (USP)

    30/04/2024 Duration: 09min

    (This is a clip from our List Buiilding for Fashion & Jewelry Designers class.) Why will people buy from you instead of somebody else?  It's important in your business to know what you're selling and to have words for it. If you know EXACTLY what you're selling, you can say it in every video, and in all of your copy and marketing messages.  Most of us worry that if we get narrow with our marketing message, we won't have a big enough audience to sell to. We tend to worry that a tight niche could be too narrow, but the opposite is true. Going narrow nelps your sales! And the thing is, it's hard. It's actually super hard to know what you're selling and be able to say it so people "get it" right away. The goal is to define a unique selling point (USP) for your products (or even start with just a category of your products) that people understand.

  • Sell More Gift Cards This Week - Here's How

    18/12/2023 Duration: 09min

    Want to sell more gift cards ruight now? i've been testing a few things with our native gardening website, and wowza! Here's what I learned... Your gift card conversions will go up if you do these 4 things: Tell them the "right" amount to buy (so they don't have to think) Tell them exactly what the cards can be used for (cuz grandma isn't your ideal customer and won't understand your brand or what you sell) Give them immediate gratification (like an instant PDF download to wrap up as a present) Offer a Gift Card bonus (this is optional, but we know not everyone will redeem their gift, so it won't really hurt margins) This will only take about 20 minutes and it works. You can watch the vide with EXAMPLES and  SCREENSHOTS AT THIS LINK: https://youtu.be/DzKoK7JpOwI?si=mJnH1s6_EMUaY6e5 LMK what happens after you try it. xo - Jane  https://fashionbrainacademy.com/

  • How to Know if Your Products Will Sell

    06/10/2023 Duration: 33min

    In this episode we first do a rapid-fire Q&A answering listeners' business questions.  1) Product Drops for the holiday season: "Should I drop all the products at the same time & do one big drop? Or space them out into smaller chunks or 2 - 3 products at a time?" 2) Costing and Pricing for wholesale sales: "How do I add in my sales rep's commission without cutting into the retailler's profit margin?" 3) "How do I know if my new products will sell?" This is especially tricky for entrepreneurs who design the product and are responsible for selling it. In fact, it's a total mindf**k. I lived this for many, many years and give you some simple advice to help keep you sane. :) Mentioned in this episode: WORKSHOP - Costing & Pricing Your Product for Profit https://fashionbrainacademy.com/online-workshop-costing-and-pricing-your-work/ Get on the Early Bird list for new workshops:  https://fashionbrainacademy.com/workshopsEB/

  • Outdated Marketing Practices You Can Stop Doing Immediately

    15/09/2023 Duration: 22min

    Today is about what you can STOP doing. There's a some questionable marketing going on out there and I'll share what's really working for my clients and what's not. If you sell physical products - clothing, accessories, jewelry, home goods, pet products - this is for you. There's so much misinformation out there  and I'd like you to know what to do and what to skip. We cover: posting on social media and the "old school" (and unprofitable) way people are still doing it the mistake of "us too" branding even though it seems safer Calvin Klein vs. Ralph Lauren and which one's kicking arse with engagement the product photography that looks outdated right now SEO - the slow and steady success of search engine optimization for ALL OF MY CLIENTS! Every single dang one (who bothers to do it) can small fashion & jewelry brands just ignore Facebook altogether? (I know you want to...) the highly curated Instagram feed -- good or bad?
