and E-commerce?
There is a tale behind every success story. Product marketing, in particular, is not just about
usefulness or originality. Today's customers want a "tangible" product. And here fresh and
believable content is required. The ultimate goal is to bring clothing and accessories to life with
words and images. Users should feel compelled to own the product. For fashion content, that
means they don't just buy a new item. Before buying they want to feel the material on their skin,
see it in their mind and combine it with their wardrobe.
The highlight of a successful fashion text is the emotional description. Fashion content is at its
best when the feels directly addressed. The text should also arouse the need to own the item of
clothing. A lot of information is also beneficial for sales so that all questions the customer might
have about the garment are answered. Inspire the emotions of your buyers and persuade them
with style. Tell the story behind the garment: Where do the materials come from? Why were
these exact materials used? How does the material feel? Which designers took part in the
creation?
Ultimately, content marketing is about making the product visible and known. That is why good
fashion texts are indispensable for e-shops and e-commerce in the fashion world. The more
questions the content answers about the respective item of clothing or accessory, the more
visibility the text will achieve in search engines such as Google or Bing. Figuratively speaking,
search engines are now the digital catwalk on which fashion content is presented to the public as
a model. The role of the designer is practically taken over by the copywriter and concept
developer, who determines the sequence, show sequence, and content and therefore determines
the success of the fashion show.
If the search engines like the text, they will reward you with a good ranking. That in turn is the
key to higher visibility and more traffic for the fashion website or online shop. If the website
visitors find everything they want quickly and easily and the content says it all, in the best-case
scenario they can buy an item or make a booking. It is also good if the visit results in a
newsletter subscription, a nice comment, an honest evaluation, or even a recommendation on
their social media channels.
The Following Forms of Content and Marketing Are Therefore Very Suitable for
Fashion Items:
Category Texts
Category descriptions are very useful in e-shops. They summarise the individual products briefly
and clearly and give shop visitors an initial overview. Let them know what to expect if, for
example, they click the Trousers category. Which brands are represented? What are the special
features of your trousers? What trousers do you offer that others don't? Use the category texts to
stand out from the competition and to secure a good ranking on Google. Regular revision is
highly recommended if the product portfolio is growing steadily.
Product Texts
The most important thing is the product information itself. A clearly structured and quickly
comprehensible structure of the product page helps the user to find his way around easily. In
addition to details such as size, color, material, and shape, the item of clothing or accessory
should be described with running text. What is special about the jacket? Who designed it and
why? For who and for what occasion was the jacket designed? Which clothing style does it go
particularly well with and with which other accessories or fashion pieces can it be combined
perfectly?
Landing Pages
Special designs and outfits deserve a special presentation on the world wide web. Landing pages
are the best way to do this. Visually and in terms of content, anything that you desire that shows
off the clothes to the best of your ability is allowed. This is about style and catwalk-like
marketing. This includes the graphic design, but also the content for your fashion. The target
group should be carefully analyzed so that the landing page wins customers. Keyword analysis
and user approach are then on the to-do list before the fashion texts are produced, go online and
grab the user emotionally.
Blog Texts
A fashion blog or blog articles in e-shops support the distribution of fashion innovations
enormously. The ever-new styles and designer pieces can be brought quickly and beautifully to
men and women in a fashion blog. A more relaxed and authentic tone is an advantage here. In
most cases, it is only about the item of clothing itself, which the blog writer or influencer
comments and rates from his own experience. This creates trust in the target group and can
quickly turn fashion stars into star designers.
Social Media
Content for fashion cannot ignore social media. The influence of well-known people on the
average consumer is enormous: Dresses that Kim Kardashian wears in a photo on her Instagram
channel will soon also be hanging in her followers' wardrobes. But even without celebrities,
fashion and content harmonize very well on social media. Because social media channels thrive
with interaction, just like us humans. As social beings, we interact with others - directly or
indirectly. In recent years this has been happening online, through posting, sharing emotions,
events, knowledge, or material things on social media. All shared content is based on the
individual and current lifestyle of the operator, as in the fashion business.
Influencer Marketing
Some social media platforms have developed into "fashion icons", among them Instagram in
particular. Fashion labels use these platforms specifically to draw attention to their fashion and to
encourage people to buy from them. Take the previously mentioned Kim Kardashian, she shows
how much sway influencers have on product sales. On Instagram, users can find countless posts
about fashion and the latest clothing trends under certain hashtags such as #fashion, #style, or
#OOTD (Outfit of The Day).
When it comes to online trading, it is best practice to address all cultures using their language.
The website at least should be available in English. Even if you don't do international business.
Because nationally there are enough foreign-language people who see your products online and
potentially buy them. The more languages you offer, the more people you will reach. With local
colors such as well-known phrases and jokes, e-shops and e-commerce also impress with
regional offers.
The content mustn't be translated exclusively by tools, but native speakers check and optimize
the result. Readers notice the difference quickly and lose confidence if the text contains errors or
the sentence structure is lacking.
For operators of a fashion shop, it is also advisable to combine existing goods with new clothes.
In this way, they automatically point out other items of clothing that match the respective
product and encourage users to keep looking around in the e-shop. Basics, for example, never go
out of style: The little black dress, white shirt, or white blouse are almost a staple in the wardrobe
of men and women. These garments are timeless and can be coordinated with many other items.
Fashion trends come quickly, regardless of the season. It’s important to always be up to date to
track down must-haves and trendy gadgets. This means that your product portfolio also stays up
to date. Nevertheless, caution is advised, because not every trend fits the brand or the image of
the company. In the longer term, however, consumers are rethinking. If awareness changes
towards sustainability, animal welfare, and fair trade, the shop offer should be updated
accordingly.
