From Runway to Cart: Sales Strategies That Will Revolutionize Your Fashion Business
Behind every trend, design, and collection, there is a universe of sales strategies that allow brands and entrepreneurs to stand out and thrive in this world of fashion.
In this article we will discover how businesses not only create high-quality garments and accessories, but also their market impact in Mexico and the commercial tactics that will lead you to sales success.
Fashion Landscape in Mexico
It is no surprise that e-Commerce in Mexico's fashion sector has been growing in recent years and has become one of the market's favorite categories.
According to the study conducted by Elogia on e-commerce behavior in this category, the results show that fashion has a market penetration of 42%, highlighting men and women between 26 and 40 years old, where women are the main consumers representing 47% while men account for 37%
Preferred Shopping Channels
Before making a purchase, 60% of consumers check the online store and the physical store before making the purchase decision, while 29% of people prefer to buy products in the physical store and 11% acquire them online.
Some reasons for this consumer behavior include preferring to do their Webrooming research—in other words, they search online for product details, for example the garment composition or check if the size fits to avoid returns—they also compare prices between channels to see which suits them best, and in most cases due to immediacy, people acquire their product in a physical store.
