Thank you for your insight! I did a presale for my last product but it lead to some confusion with my customers and it kind of just felt unprofessional? And even at that price people were complaining and saying it was way too overpriced.

There are some small brands i look up to that charge a lot more so maybe i need to be confident and raise prices. I created my brand though to make a niche style more accessible to all people, but maybe that’s just not a realistic goal for me right now.

With the way my first launch went, even after I sold out, I just have no clue how clothing businesses get off the ground if they weren’t already rich to begin with.

Thank you— What I have been doing is using income from part time jobs to invest in the business and I feel like it’s not going to take me far. You have a point that I probably wouldn’t be approved. I actually talked to my parents and I realize I need to start building a good credit score. I could maybe take out a personal loan? If not what’s your advice to actually make my brand something bigger if I’m only running it by myself?
