Hey there, it's Rob from Apparel Success, and let me tell you, starting your very own clothing brand is an absolute rollercoaster of excitement and challenges. First and foremost, you've got to have a clear vision of your brand's style and know who you're designing for. Your brand identity sets the stage for everything else. Once you've got that nailed down, it's all about sourcing top-notch materials and crafting designs that make heads turn. Manufacturing, distribution, and deciding whether to go online or set up a physical store are the logistical puzzles to solve. But the real secret sauce? Building a loyal tribe of fans through savvy marketing, killer social media, and top-notch customer service. It's a wild ride, no doubt, but the satisfaction of bringing your creative vision to life in the world of fashion? Well, that's the real reward. Keep hustling, my friend! 👕🚀

Do you have any videos specifically towards setting up a Facebook Ad audience? I've looked at every Ad video on your channel the past two days and don't think I've found it. Like I'm talking the Age range, location, interests, hobbies, behaviors, do you just put apparel, t-shirt, men's clothing, women's clothing, stuff like that? Or how do you get it so specific? Can you do a video just for that part there? And if you have one going over that specific thing, please tell me where it is. I need so much help. I also am on the waitlist for your new success group, hopefully that will help me. I'm struggling.

question about inventory. Is hindsight minimum order quantity PER product ? Or total inventory ?

[MooMoo]

If I’m just starting and I get my first orders, do I ship them from my house to the customer? Or what? I’m not comfortable with someone knowing my home address but I don’t want a warehouse since I’m just starting. Any guidance??
