Tips for Fashion Entrepreneur’s on How to Market Your Clothing Brand
Tip 1: Your Product Must Be Top-Notch
Let’s start with the basics: quality. No matter how stylish your designs are, poor fabric, stitching, or finishing will turn customers away. Nigerian shoppers — especially in today’s fashion space — notice the details. A high-quality product builds trust, gets referrals, and keeps people coming back.
Tip 2: Stop Copying Other People’s Designs
It’s tempting to follow trends and viral styles, but real success comes from originality. Eki stresses the importance of owning your creative voice and building a brand around your unique style — not someone else’s.
