4 THINGS TO DO BEFORE CREATING CONTENT
For RTW, Bespoke, and Made-to-Order Designers
Step 1: Pause & Refocus
Get your foundation right and set SMART goals for your business.
Before you start working on anything, it is important to decide on where you are heading. Set business goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound. You can't reach your destination if you don't know where you are going.
​
Things you can do:
-
Think about how far your fashion brand has come since you started it
-
Ask yourself what you want your fashion brand to be known for
-
Decide who you want to work with [brides, wedding guests, new mothers, graduands, corporate baddies etc.]
-
Decide what designs you want to work on [Two-pieces, dresses, shorts, suits etc.]
-
Write down your business goals for the next 90 days [For e.g. sell 100 pieces of Aniba skirts on Instagram by December 2026]
​
Step 2: Review What Matters
If you have already been posting content on Instagram and TikTok, spend sometime going through your old content to uncover:
-
what you have tried so far that hasn’t worked
-
what you have tried so far that has worked
-
questions that your customers have been asking over and over again
-
positive feedback from your customers on your designs and service
​
Don't forget to review your bio, profile picture, contact details, links and WhatsApp Catlogue.
​
Step 3:Â Make a Plan
Come up with a simple content system to help you create content every week for your business.
A content system is made up of simple steps that you can take daily/weekly/monthly to produce content consistently for your fashion brand.
​
A simple content system could be:
-
Mondays: Search for content ideas and write out scripts to show off your collection
-
Wednesdays: Plan out content shoot day and clear out and arrange content shoot space
-
Thursdays: Shoot content for the week/month
-
Fridays: Edit videos and schedule when completed
​
