    Summary

    This is a 13 minute Lesson from fashion business coach and swimwear consultant Vicki Wallis. Vicki is founder of The Fashion Business Coach, with expertise in helping launch swimwear and activewear labels, and especially those with a focus on sustainability.

    The global swim market is booming and is set to be valued at over £22bn by the year 2024; there are more startups entering this space than in any other area of fashion. Therefore, it’s a must for your brand to have something specific that makes you stand out in a crowd. Even sustainability alone is no longer a USP because there are so many sustainable swim brands out there already. New brands need to take more time and care researching their marketing strategies before making business decisions. 

    In this lesson, as part of a wider series on Launching An Eco Swimwear Label, Vicki Wallis addresses the ways in which businesses can use marketing to differentiate their brand in an overcrowded swimwear market.
