SEO for Your Online Clothing Store and Apparel Company – 5 Online Marketing Tips to Try On

SEO for Online Clothing Store

One of the most exciting things about the rise of the world wide web is the positive impact that it has had on the collective entrepreneurial spirit. This is especially true for the boutique clothing and apparel industry. Online shops are popping up everywhere and for good reason. Recent data shows that millennials aged 25 to 34 are more likely than any other generation to spend the bulk of their clothing budget online. There’s never been a better time to hock your t shirts, hats, hoodies, sneakers and whatever else you deem a good fit for outfitting america.

That being said, most online clothing startups fail. There are a variety of reasons for this. Among the most overlooked ones, is search engine optimization. While you need to have your functional eCommerce elements in order (product display, sizing translation, shopping cart, shipping, etc.), none of it will matter if your intended audience can’t find you online in the first place. That’s what this article is about – getting your online clothing store and apparel company to rank better on search engines. Try the following on for size and your cool new clothing brand will grow.

ALOHA Philosophy of SEO and Digital Marketing – Updated for 2017 (and Beyond)

ALOHA SEO

Three years ago I coined what I call the ALOHA philosophy of SEO. I wrote a guest post about it for an online marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. I won’t link to it, because I’m updating the philosophy for you here today. In case you don’t believe me, I’ve uploaded a screenshot. Can you believe I wore a sweater vest and tie?

Aloha SEO

While the philosophy needs an update, the core message remains relevant regardless the changes to the world of search engine optimization over the past few years. It has and will continue to shape the way I manage clients’ digital marketing strategies.

Now you may think that I’m speaking to the ancient Hawaiian concept of Aloha. This law references the essence of relationships in which each individual is important to every other individual for collective existence. Does this apply to business? You bet. But in this context, I break ALOHA down as an acronym. Within, you will find the key to a successful digital marketing strategy.

Without further adieu, let’s get into it.
