The winners and losers in the online Women’s Fashion industry

The online women’s fashion industry has experienced a lot of difficulties in the last year, with the overall industry size decreasing by 3%. Although there are a few shining stars in the top 10, many brands have fallen behind a little.

Chi Chi London (chichiclothing.com) is a brand that deserves special recognition with a YoY uplift of 303%. The UK Sunday Times has already beaten us to it as they recognised the brand as the 49th fastest private growing company. Goddiva has also seen a huge growth in online visibility which has increased by 236%. These are some amazing figures! Who knows, soon they could be contending sales with some of the biggest brands in the women’s fashion industry such as Boohoo and River Island.

Unfortunately, there will be losers where there are winners. Large women’s fashion retailers such as Miss Selfridge have reported an 81% visibility decrease and Pretty Little Thing decreased by 54%. They clearly have some work to do when it comes to digital marketing and SEO. Especially now, as more and more retailers are transitioning from stores to the digital realm.

Every industry has high-competition keywords, and finding them can be challenging. Keyword research takes a lot of dedication and time! But don’t worry, our report can help you identify the keywords you should be targeting in no time.

Keywords with a high search volume are considered competitive. They’re the shorter tail keywords that make up the majority of searches in any industry.

And we all know the more visitors your site receives, the more chances of increasing your revenue.

What are the keyword opportunities in the online Women’s Fashion industry?

The report delves into the keywords that hold potential in the industry too. We’re talking about those low-competition keywords that could quickly help you gain more visibility if you know a thing or two about SEO.

Here’s a trend we found after reading the report and analysing the data…

Women’s Coats

An extensive amount of the low competition keyword terms with high search volume include the word “coat” and “women”. Clearly, the past year hasn’t seen much hot weather! But in all seriousness, if you’re a women’s fashion brand that doesn’t yet stock coats, it’s a must if you want to see some online growth.

If you already do and want to boost your SEO and marketing efforts, focus on your coat category content and support it with some supplementary content, such as educational guides and blog posts.
