How do I make my bussiness popular? -

A friend and I have started Kush Minded Clothing Co. we are doing well, but want to figure out how to get more popular in different places.Check us out and let me know what you thinkwww.KushMinded.com

Well, you probably have to do a lot of offline marketing for clothing. If you re looking to make your website popular and draw traffic, then you have a lot of online marketing you ll need to do to attract trafficThat being said, your website could use some help because when I go there 1) I can t tell what the website is about or the company2) There is a lot of small print on the screen with lots of words 3) Your entry screen looks very similar to a pop up warning dialog box, which conditions the user to want to go awayI would make the print a lot easier to read (i.e. BIGGER) and put a more inviting image up instead of all the small centered print. Your logo needs a mission phrase of some sort. What do you guys do in five words or less? So that way the user knows what to expect when he/she gets to your site. Instead of your logo just saying KUSH Minded CLothing Co What I do like: great colors, very artsy-creative which is good for an edgier clothing company. Menu is easily seen on the top. Browsing is very fast and is slick. The words are easy to see, pictures are easy to see. I think if you just make the first screen really invite the user in then that will work wonders for you. Finally, somewhere (proably About Us) put a picture of people who work there to build relationships with the people who browse to your site. Good luck!http://designmyownwebsite.net

I used to run a concrete Business and i promise you getting someone to let you pour a permanent slab of concrete is very hard but it s possible so you definitely have to be very persistent NEVER give up and constant networking homie.

Your design should capture style and fashion intelligence. You should also establish your brand by first, segmenting the market, and second, develop a market mix strategy.Market Mix: Price, Distribution, Promotion, Product.

How much markup does a clothing retailer use? -

If you own or run a clothing shop, your answer would be really valuable. The clothing that I am selling retails at �45 per polo shirt, I am trying to get an idea of the price you would expect to be able to buy it at.If you could please let me know the size of your store and the minimum order you would expect to make if you were to buy that would be very kind.Thanks

Keystone is the retail markup usually about 120% meaning if bought at ten is retailed at twenty-two. by doing so even a fifty percent markdown makes money. Keystone means 100% over wholesale which is different in most all departments or specialty stores especially where wholesale is greater. In towels and tissues it s between 20 - 30% but clothing it s about 120% plus, I was a buyer for Bullock s Wilshire where I bought stuff for 35 and sold them for 105 with a fifty percent mark down I was making some big profits. Even worse is womens shoes where they buy a ten dollar sandal and sell them for eighty

I have owned and operated a small business, non clothing, but I believe, and hopefuly you will get conformation on this, but I belileve that the larger stores work on a 12 to 17% markup. An educated guess would be that they buy a $45 shirt for about $38. Hope this helps, and look for others in this exact business. Take care.

Walgreens/rite aid drugstoreBakeryVariety store (small mom and pop stores that carry a bit of everything)DinerLocal chain grocery store (Aldi s, piggly wigglys, HEB, Giant Eagle)Hardware storeBankLaundromatAs for specific names for these stores, they usually have names with the name of the town in them or the name of a person, like Bellevue Hardware, Mercer s grocery, May s diner, etc

The same stores every other town has. Banks, food stores, jewelry stores, laundromats, etc.

In Texas, they all have a Dairy Queen.
