Then you’ll be able to concentrate on the communication, on the customers and feedback. Show your sketches to your clients and ask them if they’d be interested in buying. Place orders for non-existent products. Scale your business gradually, slowly adding new things. Try changing boutiques – if your product didn’t sell in one boutique, it doesn’t mean that it won’t find a buyer in another. Analyze – what clothes are popular, in which boutiques – and draw conclusions. Develop your landing page, try selling online, it’s not just about selling at the marketplace anymore.
