Today’s question comes from Emily Pask of Modest Mermaid
Modest Mermaid offers women Australian designed modest swimwear that flatters the body without clinging.
Emily asks “How do you go about getting boutiques or department stores to stock you when you have a niche product (ie modest swimwear)?”
When you have a niche product it can sometimes seem like your marketing is harder.
But really, when you have a niche audience it is easier to build a connection with them as your messaging can be very targeted and specific.
In this episode I discuss what to do before you start wholesaling, how to collaborate with other brands to grow your reach and the tools you can use to find retailers who align with your values.
