Fashion ecommerce

Posted on Thu, 25 Jan 2007

Selling fashion online is an art. Fashion companies have invested highly in their brands and a simple catalogue shop will not be adequate. Instead, effective fashion ecommerce combines excellent design, a great customer experience and on-brand marketing and content.

10 things to think about if you are selling fashion online

  1. Invest in beautiful design that is fast to load and easy to use
  2. Make sure that the online design fully reflects the offline brand
  3. Create 'magazine' content that will help customers understand the promise of the brand, its history and its unique character
  4. Select items that can be explored online
  5. Help existing offline customers re-order items they have bought in stores
  6. Provide excellent quality images of both the items and detailing
  7. Make sure that the shopping process is as smooth and error free as the best customer service offered offline
  8. Explore ways of recognising your regular customers and make them feel special with appropriate offers and promotions
  9. Use rich media components such as Flash and Java sparingly to make the site usable to all customers
  10. Integrate your new site with online and offline marketing campaigns to maximise visitors, customers and results
