The sharing session with Esther Zhen from Uniqueens was a great one for us.
Focusing more on shoes in her business, Esther shows a great passion towards her business.
She also shares with us her journey towards creating a fashion e-commerce business during the recent Exabytes eCommerce Conference.
How She Started Her Business?
After her sharing of operating a store at the night market, Esther explained how she first opened her physical fashion store in Autocity, Penang.
It was an offer that she couldn’t turn down as it is a great opportunity for her to grow her business.
But she also admitted that it was from there she experienced the ever growing obstacles and issues that sometimes made her wanting to cry.
To Compete Against the Competitors
There were just too many similar products sold out there by her competitors.
She also needed to find a manufacturer to produce her products in order to compete against the competitors around her.
Things to consider were aplenty before deciding on the manufacturer that was going to produce her products as it was a huge investment that could cost her a lot of money.
Build Up Own Identity and Appearance
It was that time when she decided to concentrate on improving her social media presence.
She started to spread brand awareness around her friends and market her products to her social media followers.
This journey also taught her not to give up on failed sales when selling her products online.
While doing all these, Esther also spent time giving others online fashion tips through her social media, which improved her reputation.
