ESG in Fashion: True Transformation or Mere Superficiality?
ESG, standing for Environmental, Social, and Governance, has been widely discussed as an essential part of responsible corporate practices.
Commercial dates throughout the year represent more than just a simple chance to boost sales. For fashion brands, such occasions are perfect showcases to reinforce branding, which goes far beyond promoting just discounts and offers.
Focusing exclusively on promotions during commemorative dates can be a useful and attractive short-term strategy to boost sales. However, this approach should be integrated into a broader marketing strategy that considers strengthening branding, customer engagement, and market positioning, to ensure long-term success.
Check out some strategies that strengthen your brand’s branding by exploring commercial dates:
Campaigns with Thematic Content
Develop relevant storytelling that is related to the commemorative date and build your content plan around it. Design a campaign with a series of Instagram posts that not only display products but also tell stories.
Valentine’s Day, for example, is more than a moment to sell more; it’s a great occasion to develop storytelling. By leveraging the theme of love, you can create thematic content campaigns that converse with your audience. Explore real love stories among your customers, tips on how to maintain a healthy relationship, or date ideas.
Enrich the Experience
In addition, enriching the customer experience is crucial. After all, by adding a “gift” related to the date, you create a memorable shopping experience and strengthen your brand’s community. Use creativity for each commemorative date.
At Easter, for example, offer special packaging, engagement actions like a chocolate basket raffle, or make it possible to add complementary items like Easter eggs. Having a partnership with a company or brand can facilitate this process.
Visual Communication
Visual communication should also be an integral part of the strategy. Using images, colors, and themes that align with the planned storytelling can completely transform public perception. Avoid the obvious and opt for a unique visual approach that can differentiate your brand amid typical date promotions. But remember to try to blend the theme of the commemorative date with the visual identity of your brand.
By considering these strategies, your fashion brand can go beyond simple sales driven by discounts. You create a deeper connection with your consumers, building a community that transcends purchases. This not only increases sales in the short term but also strengthens the positioning and identity of your brand in the long term.
