As a clothing line owner you will be very tempted to drop in quality from one brand to another knowing you could save yourself a few bucks per piece. Think about what this could do in the long run for your business. Sure you might be able to see short term gains with a spike in profit but once those customers realize their new t-shirt the just spent 35.99 on just doesn’t look the same already after the first wash because you chose quantity over quality you might be left with a much bigger problem on your hands. How do you win these customers back? It is not easy to keep a commodity selling in rough times but it is important as a designer and clothing entrepreneur to continue to stay true to your word even during a recession. There are other ways to shave costs for your company but your product is your golden egg and once your customer feels that they have been cheated it will take double the cost to actually get them back.
