Unlocking Growth: Overcoming Two Common Challenges Faced by Ecommerce Brands

28 Sep, 2023 By Samantha Warren 405 Views

As an apparel ecommerce brand, it’s common to face many challenges when trying to grow your business. Ecommerce is a constantly evolving landscape—with consistently rising competition and changing consumer behavior.

Even so, that doesn’t stop you. You build a remarkable brand, design stunning products, and amass a loyal community of followers.

But then, reality hits. You’re operating your ecommerce empire out of your home, and production times are dragging. Your living room is overflowing with inventory. 

You spend more time packing boxes and rushing to the post office than actually creating. The magic that once fueled your brand is now overshadowed by logistical nightmares and the constant race against the clock.

Your customers are waiting longer and longer for their orders to arrive. Your social media accounts are flooded with messages asking about order statuses. You’re working day and night, but it feels like you’re moving in slow motion.

In this scenario, the need for a scalable, efficient solution is apparent. Our apparel experts are about to show you how to overcome these challenges.

Time is Money: The Real Cost of Slowed Production

In this fast-paced ecommerce world where time really is money, slow production times can wreak havoc on an apparel brand’s growth trajectory. 

Imagine the scenario—you have orders flowing in, the demand for your stunning designs is through the roof, but your local screen print shop just can’t keep up. This disparity can lead to an alarming backlog of orders, pushing your delivery times far beyond the industry standard.

The consequences are… not good, to say the least. Delayed orders and frustrated customers who had their hearts set on wearing your designs at their upcoming event. 

In a time where consumers have a multitude of options at their fingertips, these delays can be particularly damaging. Remember, an upset customer is not just a lost sale, but potentially, a lost advocate for your brand.

That’s why there’s a need for speed in ecommerce. The ability to swiftly turn around orders can make or break a brand. It plays a critical role in ensuring customer satisfaction, driving repeat business, and ultimately, fueling your brand’s growth.


 Ecommerce BrandsThe Double-Edged Sword of Home-Based Business Operations

Running an ecommerce business from home can feel like a dream come true, until the reality of home-based fulfillment sets in. Imagine trying to store hundreds, if not thousands, of products in your spare room or garage. Limited space can quickly become a significant obstacle, with each new order adding to the mounting chaos.

As your brand grows, so does the complexity of your operations. Scaling up your business from home is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole—it’s not designed for expansion. 

Keeping track of inventory, packaging products, and shipping orders quickly and accurately can become a Herculean task in a home-based setup. 

One small error, and you’re left with misplaced items, incorrect shipments, and unhappy customers. 

Especially in this digital age we live in, your brand’s reputation is everything. It’s important to remember that negative experiences tend to echo louder than positive ones in the consumer world. A single botched order can lead to negative reviews, hurting your brand’s image and shaking customer confidence in your business.

As you scale your brand, your backend processes are just important as what customers see on the front end—because logistical issues can rise to the surface more quickly than you’d think.
