90-day online marketing plan
Threadline Apparel
Threadline Apparel will turn browsers into online buyers by answering the fit and returns questions on every product page, bringing back past customers with restock and new season emails, and using its shop as a second shopfront.
More online orders or bookings · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Make every product page answer what a fitting room would, with photos on real people, the model's height and size, fabric and care notes and a plain line on how each piece fits, because shoppers who cannot try something on look for proof it will suit them.
Collect an email address from every online buyer and every shop customer, so that a restock or a new season can bring them back without paying for an advert each time.
Put reviews with sizes and customer photos next to each product, since a buyer who cannot touch the fabric trusts someone who has worn it.
