Can A Plus Size Mannequin Helps Sales?
Who would have thought that putting a size 16 mannequin outside of a store would help sales? UK merchant Noa Noa did that and to there suprise they have seen an increase in sales.
Not trying to sound like the know it all American, but in the years that Full Figure Plus has been around one of the constant complaints I hear from plus size women is that the models and mannequins do not look like them so they have no clue what the clothes will look like on their hips and curves.
Would a Clothing Club For Plus Sizes Work?
I was thinking about how could ladies continue shopping as usual and still have nice variety of clothes to choose from. I came up with a clothing club. Its like an investment club for stocks and mutal funds, but in this case its clothes.
How would you get something like this started? Just like you would if you wanted to have a weight loss or exercise club, ask your firends and family which should include ladies of different sizes ranging from 1X and up.
- Decide on an amount that each member will contribute. Fifty to one hundred dollars once a quarter is a good start.
