HOW TO RESELL CLOTHES ON THE INTERNET IN 5 STEPS

First of all, I want to tell you that I will answer the question "How to resell clothes online?" assuming that you have already developed the fundamental concepts and have already opened an e-commerce business . In other words, I will not address the entrepreneurial phase here.

So, once you are legally eligible for e-commerce, you will soon be able to:

01 – Create a product mix:

This is one of the first things to do to be able to resell clothes online. You need to know what clothes you will sell. Will they be clothes for adults, teenagers or children? Are you going to specialize in pants, skirts or sportswear? Make your choices and tests.

One way to test if there is demand for certain products is by creating simple ads via the Google Ads platform . Check how many people respond. If you want, direct them to a temporary sales page.

Use the Keyword Planner and Ubersuggest tools to discover which types of clothing are most searched for on Google. Check if the competition is high in the sector. Visit the stores and websites of potential competitors and do benchmarking.

02 – Find suppliers:

Now that you have a base on what your product mix will look like, start looking for suppliers. Go to Google or another search engine and enter keywords like “distributors”, “suppliers”, “wholesalers”, “manufacturers” in conjunction with the type of clothing.

For example, if you intend to work in the surf shorts trade, search Google for “surf shorts distributors” or “surf shorts manufacturers”. captain? Write down the phone numbers and then make a call to find out how these providers work.

If you have good suppliers of women's clothing to resell on e-commerce, then it will be much easier to run your business online.

03 – Open a virtual store:

Right after (or simultaneously with) your search for suppliers, start developing your online store. If you are creating an e-commerce business as a self-employed individual (MEI ), then the Loja Integrada platform is sufficient. However, if the company is an SME, opt for a platform like VTEX.

Hire an e-commerce agency to design the layout for your online store. A unique design will set you apart from the competition, which is great. Furthermore, the layout needs excellent usability to facilitate the selection and purchase of clothing online.

04 – Publicize the sales pages:

If your product mix has 10 items, then your online store will have 10 sales pages. Try to disclose each one separately. In other words, each ad must point to a specific page. This way, you will bring the consumer closer to buying.

Publish every day without interruption, as you will only make sales if consumers visit your online store. In Brazil, on average for every 100 visitors only 1 purchase. Thus, to make 10 daily sales, you will need at least 1.000 visitors.

05 – Investing in continuous improvement:

E-commerce is dynamic, and therefore your company and your online clothing store need to be too. Therefore, make it a habit to read articles about e-commerce to stay up-to-date on the latest trends.

Integrate new technologies, new forms of organization, new work processes into your e-commerce. Do whatever it takes to continually improve so you can better serve your customers and make more sales.
