- Your content should not be boring and monotonous. Make sure it includes an element of humor and fun in your content marketing. The content of your brand should remind your customer that they are special and one of its kind.

- Social media strategy for fashion brands is driven by hashtags. It’s not enough to just to know them rather the real results comes in when we strategically use them. Before using the hashtag, it’s necessary to identify that whether we will apply content specific, trend specific or campaign specific hashtags. Hashtags can help you brand your business and marketing campaigns while catching the real-time trending topics and expanding the reach of your content on World Wide Web.
- While hashtags will give you global reach but you should not ignore and market to channels your customer most frequently visit. For example, if you are marketing clothes of your fashion brands then your customer could easily be reached at Pinterest and Instagram, choosing twitter as your primary social media marketing channels will not generate satisfactory results in this case.

- For e-commerce stores Images speaks larger than words, yes you read that right. Technically you could have a fashion e-commerce brand with all images and no text but not vice-versa. Show as many images of your product from a variety of angles and make all the images zoom-able and downloadable.
- Product description matters. It gives enough information to your visitors to make an informed and confident decision. Your customer may not be able to take that final decision to buy the product if details about size, delivery and quality of the product are insufficient.
- Videos are the future for e-commerce. Although creating a video for all the product is expensive you could start off with creating videos of some of your product and see how website visitors respond to it.
