I love the fact that people are using Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to promote their new apparel lines. It’s a great way to bring awareness to what you offer, but it can also be a headache when trying to:
- Balance incoming orders
- Fulfill orders
- Take payments
- Stay organized
I know the struggle! I’ve lived it myself, and here’s the conversation I have with anyone looking to:
- Create a better process for their apparel line
- Create a more organized way to receive orders
- Spend more time growing their brand
In the video below, I share with you:

If you’re like me, you may just want the main points. Here’s some of the notes from the video. BUT!!!! I would encourage you to carve out the time to watch the video.
