The online clothing business is assumed as the fastest moving FMCGs today. With the drivers of growth (digital channels), people can now get access through mobile devices and technological innovations. Hence, both the start-up firms and the large enterprises are showing their interest in the online clothing business over the brick and mortar operations.  


Difference Between Online Clothing Business versus Offline Clothing Stores

The pandemic period has come up as a boon for the online clothing industry. However, if you have a plan to start your online clothing business, then before starting you should know the business performance of the clothing retailers, who have goodwill in the market. It will in turn help to run your business in the competitive market.

The clothing retailers, who have brick and mortar stores and have been operating their business successfully for over a decade, will get more advantages if they start their businesses online. From that point, it can be stated that the start-up online clothing business owner will be a step back from the existing businesses. Hence, the start-up business sellers are advised to follow the business strategy of the competitors.

Considering the current trend and growth in the eCommerce business, the clothing retailers also want to explore their clothing business online. Before one starts to sell clothes online, he should have a detailed idea about the concept of offline and online clothing business in a detailed manner.

1. Low Barriers to Entry

If one has plans to start an online clothing business, then they should opt for a good marketing strategy to make people aware of the eCommerce business. Otherwise, the customers will not get to know about the online business, unlike the traditional store.

Hence, before investing money in an online clothing business, the “to-be sellers” must plan the business strategy to promote the business to get familiarity. In addition, the sellers have to pay a lot for running a paid campaign regarding the business. This in turn increases the budget of the business. Therefore, sometimes sellers cannot execute all the plans successfully to start an eCommerce business. From this aspect, it can be said that there are low barriers to entry.  

2. Lower Overhead Costs

Compared to the physical store set-up and start of traditional business, the online clothing business is less expensive. To open a brick-and-mortar store, the sellers need to arrange a total of USD 50000 to USD 150,000. However, starting an online clothing business is way less than the clothing retailing business.

3. Convenient for Buyers

Purchasing clothes from an eCommerce website is more convenient than visiting a store to buy the stuff. For instance, the buyers can place the orders any day, any time and from anywhere they want rather than travelling to a traditional store for shopping purposes.

Anyone having a smartphone can browse the website and make their purchases. Moreover, the buyers will get their delivery at their doorsteps. Hence, purchasing clothes online is any day better option than offline buying.

4. Effect of Omnichannel Marketing

To improve the customer experience seamlessly, omnichannel commerce has been playing a major role. It helps to gain the revenue 33% more in the case of online clothing businesses.  

Steps to Start Online Business in India

As per the retail experts in Economic Times, the retail industry will take more time to revive after the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the current situation, the retail store needs more time to revive.

Moreover, the retailing clothing business is unpredictable in terms of business growth. Hence, it is a better option to start an online clothing business in India. Check the steps here to start the online clothing business in India.

Step 1. Choose a Clothing Niche

To start an online clothing business, business owners should work on the clothing niche. More specifically, the sellers should be aware of the demographic of the target customers. The sellers should select a niche to know the specific interests.  

1. Bring Uniqueness to Business

The online clothing industry is very competitive. Unless you sell unique and authentic products, it will be difficult to grab the attention of the customers.  

The sellers are suggested to research a lot so that they can make a difference in the area of clothing, which they want to sell. Detailed market research will help you to find out the gaps in demand and cater accordingly.

2. Sell Something You Are Passionate About

A seller will get success in selling those clothes, which they are passionate about. For instance, if you have enough knowledge about sarees, and their varieties, then it will be wise to sell sarees online over the selling of western wear.

If you have better knowledge about the silk material, and saree types, then it will be any day better to sell than selling western dresses. Only do not forget to think from the customer’s point of view. Try to figure out what is trending, seasonal clothing and then implement it in your business.

3. Sell Something with Earning Potential

If you have already chosen the niche, try to sell those clothing items, which will have a higher earning potential. Because the ultimate goal of the sellers is to earn profit. More specifically, the sellers should sell such items, which are in demand in India, so that they can experience a quicker growth rate.

For instance, the demand for saree in India is very high as per the Google trend. Therefore, the sales of saree have been growing sharply. Go through the following image to find the high sales for sarees.

Sale of sarree in 12 months.

On the contrary, the sales of western wear like Jeans in India are comparatively lower than the sales of saree in India, which is visible in the following graph. Therefore, if the sellers choose to sell Jeans in India over Saree, then it will be difficult to gain profit.

Hence, choose the product wisely for online selling. It will in turn reduce the risk of incurring loss in the online business.

4. Choose the Products for the Store

Once you choose a particular clothing item for online business, you should further work on its varieties, and which ones you want to sell. However, you are suggested to start first with small items. It will help you to earn more and one can easily grow the business fast.

If you are finalized to sell saree online, then also check the saree niche ideas here in the following section:

  • Silk saree
  • Cotton saree
  • Ready to wear saree
  • Party wear saree
  • Traditional sarees etc.

Try to figure out the demand for which types of sarees are more and start to sell that item. Once you get success and earn a decent profit, you can think of expanding your business and then increasing the saree collections/ varieties for your customers.

The clothing niche is important to choose so that the sellers will be able to identify the potential shoppers more easily. In addition, the clothing niche also helps a seller to develop a product list for the online clothing business, so that the sellers can attract the specific target market. It in turn helps you to limit the competition and can increase the chance of customer loyalty in the long term.

Some of the trending clothing niches of 2023 are:

  • Vintage clothing stores
  • Athleisure clothing lines
  • Sustainable fashion
  • Recommerce (Second Hand Clothing lines)

Step 2. Create a Business Strategy

Person playing chess with strategy.

In the next step after choosing a clothing niche, the sellers should create a business strategy. Every business should have an effective business strategy and plan.

1. Study the Market

It is mandatory to research the market when you are going to start a new business. Thorough research is required to successfully operate the online clothing business. Hence, the start-up sellers should not only study how the other stores in your niche are running the business successfully.

But also try to figure out why some other businesses, in your niche, failed. Once you find out the reason, you will be able to rectify it.

2. Study the Competitors

Next, the sellers should make a comprehensive study of the competitors and find out their strengths and weaknesses, what are the unique selling points (USP) of them and more. This peer reviewing will help the sellers to collect a detailed market strategy of the competitors and review them.

3. Select a Business Model

The sellers should decide what to follow, either white labelling or drop shipping for starting an online clothing business. There are a total of four types of business models that an online clothing business can follow:

  • Print-on-demand
  • Custom cut and sew
  • Dropshipping
  • Private Label

Each of the above-mentioned business models has its advantages and disadvantages. Choose the business model wisely considering the overall fashion store objective, budget and potential business skills etc.

Print-on-Demand Clothing Store Business Model:

It is one of the cheapest business models when someone has a plan to start an online clothing business. For instance, one can earn from the custom t-shirt printing business alone approximately 10 billion sales by 2025, by following the Print-on-demand business model.

More specifically, the Print-on-Demand business model is perfect when you want to print a logo and design on blank apparel and the rest of the things will be automated, then the sellers should opt for the Print-on-demand business model.

This is the most effective model when the sellers will deal with a small number of orders initially. Here the sellers will get plenty of types and colour options in the products.

Print, a successfully running print-on-demand brand, has launched a variety of new products and services this year (including activewear and warehousing stuff).

However, before choosing the print-on-demand model for an online clothing business, the sellers should know the major cons of this model. The profitability margin is lower if the sellers follow this business model. Apart from that, the sellers will get only limited options of adding branding tags, labels and other finishes.

Custom Cut and Sew Online Clothing Business Model:

If the sellers have the planning of opening an online clothing business, where they can showcase their clothing brand and design and can sell them, then following the Custom cut and sew online clothing business model will be best suited for them. Hence, the primary aim of the custom cut and sew business model is to meet the demand of the customers and by satisfying the sellers via customisation works.

If one has planned to start an online clothing business from scratch, then selecting the custom cut and sew business model will be ideal. Here, the sellers will get a complete idea from designing to manufacturing.

The best option of this model is it offers customization, as the sellers want. Nonetheless, sometimes a lot of management issues are found in this model since, the sellers will be the chief person for finding, confirming the design and coordinating with their pattern makers, and manufacturers and sourcing their fabric accordingly. To execute the entire thing, the sellers need a lot of time and also require an upfront budget.

For instance, to successfully start the online clothing business by opting for the custom cut and sew business model, here is the following the list of three renowned suppliers' names have been mentioned:

  • Clothier Design Source
  • The Pattern Makers
  • JLD Studios etc.  

Private Label Clothing Store Business Model:

As the name suggests, the Private Label Clothing Store business model allows the business owner to sell unique and customized products under the brand name. More specifically, instead of being designed in-house, the clothes for the customers will be designed, produced and branded for individual sale from a chosen third party.

At first, the business owners need to buy blank or label-less clothing items wholesale, after that they should add the custom designs. Tag or label before selling them. This business model can be more cost-effective compared to the print-on-demand business model. The business owners will get the option of negotiation for better rates for bulk purchasing.

Clothing business steps.

Like the above-mentioned two business models, there are some drawbacks to the private label clothing store business model. The business owners have to deal with the fulfilment and inventory management since they have to store the clothes for adding logo/ label if they choose this business model. Nonetheless, there are platforms for streamlining this process, such as Threadbird. It offers the sellers fulfilment of services if you wish to hold your stock.

Dropshipping:

Dropshippers in India is acting as a middleman between the customers and the manufacturers. In choosing the dropshipping business model, the business owners will directly send the product from the manufacturers to the customers.

Once the order is confirmed, the business owners will book the product to the manufacturers and under the assistance of the suppliers, the products will be delivered to the customers at their doorsteps.

Dropshipping Business model.

Moreover, the dropshipping business model is more convenient than the other business models in other aspects. This business model is very flexible and hence, the business owners can operate the business from anywhere. They should not run the business from a fixed place every day.

Dropshipping business models are very easy to set. With the Fynd platform, one can easily start and run an online clothing business with less investment.

Step 3. Choose an Ecommerce Platform

When you operate the online clothing business under any eCommerce website, then you will get the flexibility of adding products, removing less demanding or less selling items, managing the orders and inventory and many more.

Here in the following, the list of factors, which are required to choose the appropriate eCommerce platform for your business, are discussed in a detailed manner.

1. Pricing Strategy

Step 4: Launch Online Store

Once you are done with the creation of a business account with any eCommerce website, then the business owners should launch the website to the public forum. Unless the customers get to know about the online clothing store, they will not visit there. Hence, to increase the customers’ awareness, it is necessary to launch the online store with a proper strategy.

Step 5: Promote Your Online Clothing Store

In the next step of launching the website, the business owners should keep their focus on promoting the business, so that they can reach a large base of customers with their new launch brand.

1. Organic Marketing

Though creating a buzz is the initial step of organic marketing, it is not enough to promote the business. Organic marketing is a type of marketing strategy, where the sellers will not spend any money. Usually, organic marketing takes a lot of time to get traffic to your newly launched website or get quality leads for the business.

For successful organic marketing, the business owners should reach out to the people through vlogs, blogs, useful fashion tips etc apart from connecting through social media handles.

2. Email Marketing

Email marketing is one of the single best ways to target the customers, which provides significant value (email marketing has an average ROI of $42 for spending each dollar) more cheaply.  

Email marketing is a kind of direct marketing channel, through which the digital marketer can communicate with the audiences via electronic mail. The entire process will be done through automated mail. Otherwise, it will be difficult to send emails to hundreds of clients at one time using the personal email id.

Email marketing targets to get connected to those audiences, who have visited your store and left the website without purchasing anything. In the case of email marketing, create the retargeting audiences on Facebook based on the email list.

One can expect good sales directly from email marketing of the Fynd platform. Some of the most popular email marketing tools are highlighted in the following:

  • Mailchimp
  • ConvertKit
  • Aweber
  • SendPulse
  • Constant Contact

3. Paid Advertising

Google has its own paid advertising platform, which is known as Google Adwords. It helps to market your online clothing store. It will be more convenient if you run ‘Shopping ads’ for your store.

Apart from that, social media platforms have their own separate paid advertisement campaigns, through which you can also promote your business. Approximately 72% of US online customers admitted that paid social media advertising is helpful to bring some authentic leads.

4. Content Marketing

Content marketing can also attract, engage and retain the audiences with the writing power. Here, the marketer tries to create and share relevant articles, videos, podcasts and other media.

When you make a post on social media, you should add a detailed description of the product, offers and latest updates, so that the potential customers can get all the details. For instance, 47% of buyers prefer to read 3 to 5 pieces of content before making the purchase.

Through content marketing, a business can expect a 30% growth rate. In addition, 72% of B2B marketers stated that content marketing can increase more engagement of the customers towards a particular brand and can generate leads accordingly.

5. PPC Marketing Strategy

PPC marketing strategy

Pay-per-click marketing is a useful inbound marketing strategy, where the advertiser bids on a certain inbound marketing strategy. So that when the buyers will search for those keywords in search engines, your brand will automatically start to rank and hence, the buyers will get to see the website and particular products on the top, more specifically over the competitors.


PPC marketing is very relevant to attracting the target customers through the search of specific keywords. For instance, when the users will search for “Running shoes for Women”, the above-picturised searches will be found.

The primary aims of the PPC marketing strategy are:

  • Increasing sales
  • Generating leads
  • Promoting the brand awareness

Through the targeting settings and account structure, an advertiser can run a successful PPC campaign.

Step 6: Customize the Cart and Run the Store Efficiently

The business owners can also avail the integrated features of the eCommerce websites like:

  • Video shopping experience
  • Analytics and Logistic support
  • Free plugins for channel management, conversions and customer service and more.

To attract customers, the business owners can enable the option like “Coupon with Reward. However, if the option will be disabled, then the shoppers will avail of any of the options, either coupon or reward, not both options.

Click on Appearance >> Themes >> Edit >> Page Configuration and select the cart landing option from the drop-down list. Once you turn on both the options, then click on the Save option.

Similarly, if the business owner wants to apply a delivery charge and enter the Threshold value, that will be paid to the customers as an additional delivery fee.

Step 7: Customize the Checkout Process

The check-out part is one of the most integral parts of online shopping, since here the customers either complete their shopping by paying the amount or leave the website without completing the payment procedure.

With time eCommerce businesses have brought changes and updates to improvise this area of functionality, so that fewer customers will leave the websites. As a result, the sellers can boost their sales from the online clothing business.

1. Smooth Check-Out Process

As per the statistical report, approximately 60% of online customers leave the checkout process due to the uncertain appearance of unavoidable costs. It in turn increases the entire amount of the products.

Hence, the business owners should focus on transparency, so that the shoppers will be aware of pricing, taxes and other fees and they will not leave midway through the payment process.

To maintain transparency, the sellers must also provide an order summary, including the product image, brand name, size, colour, quantity, availability, specification, expected date of delivery etc. So, considering all the factors, the buyers will show their interest and want to complete the purchases.

2. Maintain Transparency Regarding Taxes and the Shipping Information

The customers will check the price of the particular products excluding the taxes. The tax is imposed on the entire cost of the added products in the cart. Apart from that, the packaging and shipping charge will also be added there.

Hence, make sure your customers that the final chargeable amount will be high. To satisfy the customers, the sellers can offer their customers exciting offers and rewards.

For instance, mention the price tag of the clothing items like Rs 800+shipping and delivery charge. Try to write the taxes and delivery charge in bold letters, so that the customers cannot overlook the factor and be ready to pay without leaving the checkout process.

3. Keep Secured the Payment Gateways

To avoid the shortage of cash, several customers prefer to pay the amount of the products using their credit card/ debit card/ Net banking/ UPI Id. Make sure the customers that their payment gateways will be secured in case of selecting a pre-paid option.

Also give multiple options of payments like cash on delivery, credit card, debit card, UPI ID, Phonepe, GPAY, Bank Transfer etc.

Kindly note: If you want to sell the products to the global market, then keep options for multiple currency payments.

To make the payment option also exciting, accept the payment gateways via Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Some of the popular payment gateways are Gift cards, PayPal, and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options, which can also be included.

4. Make Sure Check-Out Button Works Smoothly

Due to page loading errors or technical glitches, sometimes, it can be seen that the check-out button does not work properly. This is the other reason for payment failure and the customers might leave the website immediately without completing the payments.

Hence, the sellers should constantly check whether the checkout button is working properly or not if they are running an online clothing store. Sometimes, it can be seen if the checkout button does not work properly, then it will be redirected back to the empty cart.

And during all these errors, a most demanded product can be sold out. It can in turn increase the dissatisfaction level of the customers who may leave the page. Therefore, you must check whether all the website's navigation is working smoothly or not.
