Fashion Items Where Consumers Trust Small Business Over the Majors

Kate Samson — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:53:47 +0000

From coast to coast there are small fashion businesses that are thriving in spite of the mountain of obstacles that seem to be in the way. One challenge new entrepreneur entering fashion face is competition from major retailers with deep pockets. The previous two blogs examined niche markets that provide safe-haven where big box companies don’t go. But there is another safe haven where small business shares the market with the majors. These are the areas of fashion where consumers simply trust small business over the majors to supply the fashion item. What does that mean? Well an example can best answer the question.

CHURCH HATS

There is a very large market of ladies searching for church hats that opens every spring. Yes, fall is another time for dress hats for church, but spring is more important because it contains the two largest days of the year for church hats—Easter and Mothers Day. All the major department stores and many of the other big box companies will have a selection of dress hats to meet the demand, but the selection is not extensive, it is not on target with fresh millinery designs, and there is plenty of duplication of styles. In addition, there is no dedicated area to dress hats that tells a story consumers trust.

What about small business? This is where the church ladies go to select new hats for spring and fall. Why? First, small businesses that concentrate on church hats make this an important part of their inventory. The shopkeeper is aware of changing styles and colors for the season, not to mention their expert help to customers in choosing the right hat for their personality and stature. They also have such familiarity with headwear that showing customers how to wear a hat is almost natural.

Then there is the unique factor. One thing women searching for church hats don’t want to happen is to show up on Sunday morning and others are wearing the same hat. Small millinery businesses have wide selection, but very little duplication of hats in the same style and color.

Peak Season for Glitzy and Formal Jewelry

Milla Honey — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 09:18:10 +0000

Spring is here and the latest fashion we saw on the runways a few moths ago is now in the stores. But before we cover fashion jewelry that is trending, let’s look at what is in high demand right now—glitzy and formal jewelry.

RHINESTONE NECKLACE SETS FOR PROM

Prom is getting close and prom girls will be searching for the perfect dress and accessories to go with it. Retailers are gearing up with inventory to please the shoppers. Always important at prom time is rhinestone necklace sets. Trendy look like Y necklaces suit this age group, especially when they have an affordable price tag. This set shown uses clear rhinestones in silver plated settings for maximum sparkle and retailers can offer it at prices the prom girls can afford.

Sometimes matching accessories to the dress color is important to the shopper. To do this, rhinestone jewelry uses color highlights in clear rhinestone sets. This provides far more life than sets consisting of all colored stones. New styles include bib designs terminating with colored highlights or collar-like sets with a fringe of color.

Actually, designs in rhinestone jewelry have a timeless quality. Some styles first created a number of years ago remain as favorites for consumers today. Rhinestone chokers with one to four rows of rhinestones are as popular today as they were more than a decade ago when they entered the market. These styles are especially popular with groups like choral groups or dance routines, but hey also work for prom.

Fashion trends today are moving towards jewelry that is more dramatic and the trend is spilling over into formal jewelry. Wide collars provide statement jewelry with abundant sparkle while retaining tasteful design that complements the overall look.

GARDEN THEMES IN FORMAL JEWELRY

The garden theme, especially flower blossoms, is growing in fashion jewelry and also influencing formal jewelry. The crystal bracelets shown create the theme in uptrending dramatic size. Here is statement jewelry that will appeal to the prom girl that isn’t shy.

Rhinestone necklaces also incorporate blossoms in designs. The set shown has gold plated settings, which are hard to find with gold prices over $1,700 an ounce. Actually there are a number of new rhinestone sets in gold plating this season, which often accessorizes a gown far better than silver.

CRYSTAL AND RHINESTONE BRACELETS

Teenage girls love bracelets so sparkly rhinestone or crystal bracelets are perfect for prom, adding some bling to help make an unforgettable evening. The rhinestone bracelet shown is a proven hit with prom girls. The design appears to intertwine two wide rows of rhinestone creating a ¾ inch width loaded with sparkling rhinestones.
