Digital marketing for Fashion & Apparel

Fashion shoppers choose with their eyes first and check the size chart second. We plan eye-catching ads and product pages that answer fit questions before they turn into returns.

The industry challenge

Fashion changes by season, so ads go stale fast and best-sellers can sell out while ads still run. Size doubts lead to returns, which quietly cut your profit on sales that looked good. Constant discounts can also teach customers to wait for a sale.

Where we would start

  1. 1

    Fresh ads for every drop

    Plan Facebook and Instagram ads around your drops and seasons. Keep a steady supply of new ideas, such as fit, fabric and styling, so a tired ad is replaced before people stop noticing it.

    Meta advertising
  2. 2

    Product listings with every size and colour

    Clean titles, sizes, colours and stock details in Google Merchant Center help Google Shopping ads avoid sold-out sizes and match more of what people search for.

  3. 3

    Product pages that answer fit questions

    Size guides, model details, fabric notes and reviews are checked against both sales and returns, so the page helps people buy the right size.

    Emails that bring buyers back

    Back-in-stock, new arrival and thank-you emails encourage buyers to return for pieces that go with what they own, without relying on constant sales.

How the channels work together

Google catches product searches and Meta helps people see the clothing in use. Email supports repeat shopping, while texts handle selected timely updates. Track new customers and repeat orders after returns, discounts and delivery costs. Match ad spend to stock and seasonal demand instead of chasing sales that leave little profit.

How we check what is working

  • Cost to acquire a new clothing customer
  • Profit after discounts, returns and delivery
  • Repeat orders and available sizes

What we would measure

These are the numbers to track, not results we promise.

  • Revenue left after returns and costs
  • Return rate for each product and size
  • Share of sales from new and returning customers
  • Which ad styles are getting tired
  • Share of orders sold at full price

Frequently asked questions

How do you handle seasonal launches?

We work back from your launch date. Ads and landing pages come first, then audiences and product listings, so everything is ready when your stock is.

Can paid ads take returns into account?

Ad platforms report sales before returns. We compare their numbers with your store data so decisions reflect what you actually keep.

Do you work with brands that also sell on Amazon?

Yes, where it fits. We can plan Amazon and your own store together so they support each other instead of competing.
