Establishing trust in your business on social media is imperative for every fashion brand. It is perhaps even more important than sales. When customers shop at a physical store, they don’t have to be concerned about issues, like the quality of your clothes or being scammed.
Shopping and ordering on social media is a vastly different experience. Potential customers have less to go on when determining how comfortable they feel making a purchase. Consequently, it’s up to you to quickly earn their trust and curb any skepticism.
Here are 5 techniques for earning trust online from your customers;
1. Use high-quality-images and photos
Quality content can do a lot for your fashion brand on social media. It sets you up apart and improves the way potential customers see you.
They can’t touch or physically see the clothing, all they can use to determine if they should make the purchase is the images you put up. If you take high-quality captivating photos and record videos, it will be much more convincing.
2. Put yourself out there
People like to know the stories and faces behind brands they love, it helps them connect with the business on a deeper level. You can create engaging how-to videos, behind the scenes, styling tips, or just photos of you wearing what you produce.
3. Use Reviews
With reviews, your brand can show potential customers what your existing customers think. It will help increase their confidence and trust in the quality of what you’re selling. Don’t use just Whatsapp screenshots, video reviews, and unboxing videos can also be used.
4. Have a consistent brand identity
From your logo and brand colors to your tone and personality, you must be consistent in everything you do and say. People will come to recognize your brand’s unique style and have more trust in it. Even when other brands steal your content, your audience will be able to tell it’s yours.
5. Provide a great customer experience
The best way to deliver trust is to surprise and delight customers. Give them what they asked for, but on top of that, deliver more, more service, more time, more convenience, and more sensitivity.
Building trust with potential customers is an issue all fashion business owners should take seriously. Even if you don’t have a brand that stands on its own yet, employing these strategies can help prove to your potential customers that your business is trustworthy and legitimate.
