All businesses, whether big or small, are always on the lookout for ways to increase their profit margins. This especially holds true in case of manufacturers, for the simple reason that when the magnitude of the stock is greater, even a slight increase in the margins can prove to be substantially profitable. This holds true for the textile industry as well.
However, a major drawback with respect to the players in the textile
sector is that they have a pre-set notion towards one of the most imperative
mediums of marketing in the present times - the online marketing. More often
than not, textile manufacturers and businesses that deal in garments and
apparels completely operate offline - right from their marketing efforts and
business dealings, to their delivery and payment processes. Then, there is a segment of textile
manufacturers who completely operate online in order to have larger client base
and give no or little emphasis on conducting the business offline or in their
local areas. While these measures can prove to be fruitful in short run, they
often fail to yield the expected profits in the long run.
As difficult as it may seem to earn better profit margins on your
products, the truth is with a right mix of both, online and offline marketing
you can achieve it sooner rather than later. While offline marketing helps you
reach to those potential consumers who do not have access to computing devices
or internet or simply aren’t quite tech savvy, online medium will help you reap
the benefits of a marketing tactic that is highly cost-effective and has a
substantially greater reach.
In case of offline marketing, it is best to reach the local target
audiences through mediums such as newspaper ads. In case you have a dedicated
marketing manager, you can also approach potential consumers on a one-to-one
basis and initiate the deals. In such cases, it becomes rather easy to modify
your marketing strategies on the basis of what exactly does the market responds
to. All you need to do is gauge the results as against your efforts and
investments, if any.
