Know your target market<\/h3>\n<p>The key is to have an in-depth and <a href=\"https:\/\/fashioninsiders.co\/toolkit\/business-basics\/start-fashion-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">well-researched knowledge<\/a> of your market, your customer, your costs and your route to market. &#8220;How?&#8221; We hear you cry. Just ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is your market?<\/li>\n<li>Who is the current market leader?<\/li>\n<li>Who are your competitors?<\/li>\n<li>What are your competitors pricing their products at?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jot down your findings and what you immediately interpret from what you\u2019ve found.

Make sure the price is right<\/h3>\n<p>If you price too low, your target customer may not trust or believe in your product. But price too high and in addition to that being a barrier, it might also become an aspirational brand product, where people buy once or rarely.<\/p>\n<p>Study your competitors\u2019 prices and be clear on where you fit in the market; and if your prices differ from your competitors\u2019, be clear on why that is. Is your product handmade? Do you manufacture in volume, which in turn lowers the RRP?<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to give a breakdown of every cost that goes into manufacturing your product to your audience of target customers. But highlighting key things that you do to make your product unique or different, will subtly explain your price and be an affirmation for your customer.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t forget your margins<\/h3>\n<p>Busy business owners are awesome but can overlook things, so make sure you have calculated your production costs properly.<\/p>\n<p>Your product is fantastic, we know, but if you cannot afford to pay your overheads or worse, your manufacturer if you have one, your business will not thrive! So the price accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Get the help of a number-savvy friend or an accountant to work out what a healthy margin is for your business. Look after this margin and protect it, as this is the money that will help to grow your business and, in time, be a part of the money that you will pay yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Each fashion business is unique and will grow at different paces. You\u2019ll have different customers and considerations that you need to make.<\/p>\n<p>As your fashion business grows, why not share your questions, the solutions you\u2019ve found, the mistakes you\u2019ve learned from and the secrets to success with us?
