How to get first 100 customers for your newly started online fashion store

A few days back, i have written a post How To Start Your Online Fashion Store and it attracted many visitors. Now its time to look ahead to the next goal and i.e. How To Get First Few Customers for your newly opened shop.



We often have a bunch of business ideas but we don’t really know how to have a kick start. Same is the case with online selling goods. How do you initially attract buyers to go for your newly selling product? It’s not as simple as it seems. Why? Firstly because nobody knows about your brand since its new and all so it obviously isn’t popular. Secondly, since many other well established or say well-known brands are already selling more or less the same product, how do we divert the attention from their product towards ours? Here are a few ways how you can tackle that.

To start with, a newly established online store must offer something different to attract new customers. It could be something different in terms of pricing or maybe quality but it must be something others are not offering. By offering competitive pricing, you can grasp the attention of customers. Offering deals such as buy one get one free or say, 30 % off on all products for the first 50 customers. There are already too many deals store in dubai that offer good discounts so in the market of UAE online shopping you have to offer best deals in dubai and all over uae.

This way people would want to rush to buy something from your online store and be one of the first few customers because of the attractive deal offered. Another way to attract customers is to give out coupons on say the purchase of every product for the first few days after you launch your store.

In the beginning, since no one really knows about your brand and its products, give out free samples. People just need a surety about what they are buying, if it really is worth the money. So along with every purchase, give along something small like a pair of socks free. Keep in mind that your customers would want to be taken care of which means you should answer their questions promptly and deliver on time. Have a highly responsive Facebook page where customers can message any time for their queries. It is very useful to involve social media to your online store. In today’s world, everybody has Facebook, twitter etc. so try to advertise and promote your products through these social websites because of their effectively and very little or no cost. You wouldn’t want to upset any customer because we all know online stores are all about word of mouth so even if a single person out there speaks negatively about your store then it will definitely tarnish the reputation of your brand.

Last but not the least, it is very essential to promote your products as much as you can. Individual promotion is in fact the most effective approach of promotion because it doesn’t miss out on anyone. You can exhibit individual promotion through text messages, emails and calls. This way you will be able to have a direct contact with your customers and will definitely have a better chance at having more people to buy your products.
