    About This Video:
    In this video, Rob talks about an important insight learned through doing hundreds of clothing brand reviews - that the most common issue most startup clothing brands have is a fluffy brand concept. Most new clothing lines overlook the importance of clear brand messaging that is easy to understand and conceptualize. For anyone starting a clothing brand, it is vital to place a high priority on nailing your clothing brand concept so that your marketing efforts pay off. Attempting to market your clothing brand on a weak foundation will only frustrate you with no sales/orders through your website. The secret to selling a lot of clothing is to master your brand concept FIRST - and implement a solid marketing plan on top of it. This information applies to clothing brands, clothing lines, fashion brands, fashion lines, tshirt companies, streetwear brands, streetwear lines, print on demand (POD), dropshipping and beyond!

      Brand is also conveyed in the product. People generally have one or two feelings. Usually on their repeat order even thinks as simple as "this brand is expensive but worthed" or "this brand is cheap but good enough" is part of branding. It's not always about the grandiose or a message or something poetic that people tell you brand about

    I have an apparel brand and
    I totally agree with everything you said in this video. This Covid has damn near destroyed my brand but I’m getting ready to come back stronger than ever. Get N After It is an Outdoor Brand that focusing on motivating and inspiring all people in the hardcore world and it’s meant to give you focus and energy tone excel in all you do. Love your videos keep doing what you’re doing and Keep Get N After It!

    Seems like great advice! Ive been back and forth on the brand building idea, but if I lean towards doing it, I am definitely taking this video to heart. Thanks man!

    Hi Rob! Thank you so much for the video - super helpful as usual! I absolutely love the book you recommended to me(the War of Art). Quick question - for blank clothing, is it best to go for a relatively small manufacturer as I know you did with HS Apparel, or is going with a much larger supplier like Bella + Canvas as good/better! Thanks!

      Whichever provides the clothing that you like the most! Size doesn’t really matter all that much if you’ve found the right product
