By Aaron Small


Are you stuck with a sales decline? Does it seem as if you cannot get out of it? It is all about you with an online apparel store. You stumbled into the right place by doing research. Go over these tips to get sales up and passing what they were before. You'll be able to stop for that massage soon.

You need to keep a few things in mind if you want to increase your sales. Make sure that there is no spelling error in your description and you have all the clothing categorized in their respective lists. Your website should be user-friendly. Even a kid should be able to operate it easily.

Online marketing is about reaching and engaging your target customers. Create content that people will want to read and share. Build relationships with influencers in your industry. Look for guest blogging opportunities and join discussions on forums and social media groups.

Make sure you make the most of the money you are spending to run your website. It may not be the only way you sell your apparel, but you still want the most bang for your buck. Take advantage of everything you are spending money on. If it is easier to sell apparel offline you can do that too.

You need to improve your credibility. Do you know how to do it? You can start with the apparel product returns that customers make. Make sure that you refund the entire cost of the apparel product. Customers will remain happy and continue shopping in your store. You will also increase your credibility by giving the costumers that option to change their minds or return clothing that do not work the way they thought they would.

Analyze your competitors ranking in terms of online searching. Compare and contrast offers with them and find ways to attract more customers towards your site. Moreover, you can also offer free shipping to them. Try to outsell those offers that are more creative from your competitors, doing this will certainly generate more sales.

Are you managing a blog on your site? You need to if you're going to sell a lot of apparel. It delivers value to your customers. It gives them a reason to come back even when they don't want to buy anything. Run a blog and run your competition out of business.

Run holiday promotions. Make it clear to your customers that you're in the festive spirit by customizing your design based on the current holiday. You can repeat the same sale over and over again for each holiday. You don't have to be too creative. Just make sure that you're doing something that helps you create a sense of urgency.

The idea behind email marketing is to offer your customers value with meaningful content. If they haven't asked for emails they will be angry. Building a relationship of trust takes time and customer loyalty is the result of taking the time necessary.

By Claire Boyd


This brand is a favorite to those who are into sailing and other similar hobbies not just because of the footwear's style, but also because of its out-sole that has a lot of grip. They have also ventured to casual lines which are very successful including their famous Sperry Top-Sider chukka boots.

Boat Oxford Boot - This product is not only famous among the Sperry Top-Siders, but also all the chukka boots of today. If you love the look of the Originals Desert Boot but find it uncomfortable and heavy, then you should seriously consider this one. It is much more comfortable and lighter.

It has a leather upper and available in several colors which is complemented by its subtle stitching. It has very soft lining which is not very common in this style of shoe. It also features a removable and cushioned insole and an EVA heel cup for absorbing impacts.

Of course, it has its trademark Wave-Sipping features on its rubber out-sole which is very effective even on wet surfaces.

Aside from the traditional lacing, it also has a wrap-around lacing, and the laces used are made from rawhide leather. Also, the eyelets are made from metal and are rust-proof.

Sperry Drifter Chukka - With its cotton canvas material, this boot is not only stylish but very comfortable as well. It is still has the flat collar and ankle-high shaft and comes with 4 pairs of lacing. What makes it stand out is its unique stitching on the mid-sole.

The out-sole also looks very cool with the company logo embedded on it on a vibrant color.

Largo Shoe - This pair got its influence from the original Largo slip-on which is a big hit. It leather upper has perforation details which makes it breathable for all day freshness. The insole is removable and it is contoured for a relaxing and comfortable wear and it also has the FootDry lining.

How To Use The Vintage Style Dress To Work In Your Prom

By Sisi Tsoi


Let's continue our journey with the 30's, our all time favorite era. Think Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo. You might be inquisitive about emulating Dietrich's style, with a totally white tux, shirt and bow tie. If you style your hair with a finger wave, it is sure to cause quite a buzz. Alternatively, you can go ultra female like Garbo, with a floor sweeping satin robe, red lipstick and fake eyelashes. Although you might be ultra female, you can command a statement entrance by injecting sober colours, bias cuts and heaps of powerful posing. The dress shown here is actually a vintage style dress, and it is provoked by the 30s. You certainly will have many cheerful returns with this one, considering how well made it is.

What about the 50s vixen style for further inspiration? There are so very many icons to choose from. Two which immediately spring to mind are Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. Both of these stars were curvy, sexy and irresistible women. This look especially suits anyone with a curvy figure.

The standard outline of the 50s goes in at the waist and flares out from the hip down. We all know there are a lot of options, one being Betsy Johnson's designs, although the courageous designer is unfortunately going out of business.

You can go for a classic pin-up dress, with a sexy clingy shape. With either a pencil skirt, peplum or sweet heart neckline, you'll be the picture of a 50s style icon. You can try to imitate the look of our sweetheart Elizabeth Taylor, with a full bosom and skirt. Try this dress shown here; with a fitted bodice and flared skirt, it emphasises your figure and aims to hide all of your sins.

What about the 60s? The swinging age went through an especially similar trend turnover to the 20s. It had lived through comparative revolutions to the 20s ; with the sexual revolution, ladies were out there to have a good time. With the trend of straight cut shift dresses, there were a lot of designers who popped up with the creative notion of a mini skirt. It certainly benefited us modern girls who want to display our legs. There are many shift dress options to be found on the high street like a simple pretty color block shift dress with a scalloped edge. A long sleeved baby doll shape, paying homage to Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby, would be similarly trendy. With flowy long sleeves and colour contrast lace and ribbon design, these super short dresses will make you feel girly with that vintage edge.
