A customer’s decision to buy rarely starts at the till.

It starts with how they feel when they walk through the door.

In lingerie retail, that matters more than almost any other category. Customers are often looking for confidence, reassurance, privacy, expertise and honesty, not just a product in the right size.

That’s why every stage of the experience matters, from the first welcome to the fitting room conversation and the follow-up after the sale.

The WOW Factor is about making those moments intentional, not accidental.

Because great lingerie retail is not just about selling bras. It’s about building trust.

Have you ever wondered how a skill like expert bra Fitting can be taught by zoom?

It’s understandable if you’re sceptical so if you are watch this interview with a recent Zoom bra Fitting trainee to hear if it’s really any good - first hand.

Thanks for your honest feedback Amanda ### .j.brafitting

Do you dream of running your own lingerie or swimwear brand?

Have you started a brand?

Are sales booming or are you now facing the reality of it taking longer to sell all the stock you’ve made than you thought?

It’s not always as easy as we’d like it to be- nothing worthwhile is. I’ve helped many brands to get started and grow and I have seen it first hand.

You get so caught up in the design and production that you maybe don’t put enough time into how you will sell it.

So if this you and you are thinking ‘website sales are slow but I’ve no budget left to spend on marketing’ - what do you do?

You may be wondering if selling to Retailers is the right way to gain credibility and visibility and sell more volume.

At the same time you may be daunted by it - who to approach, how to even get them to answer your call or email, how to talk to them, and how to make sure you don’t mess it up.

Well imagine if there was a way of working out if Retail really is right for you and knowing how to pursue a retail strategy and get it right?

There is!

And it will cost you less than a google ad that you’ll regret doing.

Join our Get Retail Ready webinars through June & July - to work out if Retail is right for you and to unlock the formula for Retail success.

We have grown brands from zero retail sales to being stocked in the world’s leading stores.

We work with ambitious brands who are ready to invest a modest amount of their hard earned cash and a decent chunk of their time to Get Retail Ready.

Message me to find out more or book up for the webinar via the link in our bio or visit our website for more details.

Ever wondered how much difference one day of focussed assessment and coaching could make to your lingerie store?

Most of us know there are likely to be opportunities for us to grow sales and profits in our business. But is it actually worht paying an expert to help us?

We spent a day with Lissie Lingerie and what they said about it may surprise you…

“If you’re serious about making more money in a very organic way that feels good then you should absolutely seek the assistance of Helen. The day after she visited we had our highest ever sales day, and since we have had our highest sales month at £50,000! Absolutely insane! Thank you so much again Helen!”

For a behind the scenes look at what we did and how the business improved their results after just one day , read the new Masters In Lingerie feature in the latest issue of Underlines or at underlinesmagazine.com

The Average Lingerie Store Misses 80% of its potential sales opportunities .

Do you know what the typical conversion rate is from a customer walking into your lingerie store to a customer buying?

Many stores don’t and when they find out the reality, they’re quite shocked as it’s often a lot lower than they think.

If you use an appointment-based system, you may be lucky to achieve 100% conversion rate.

If you’re a traditional store where people come in and browse and you are VERY good at customer engagement and selling you may achieve 50%.

The average store actually achieves 20%.
A lot of the time they don’t realise the number is that low because they don’t even see the customers or sales opportunities they missed.

Sales growth does not always come from doing more.
Sometimes it comes from noticing what is already happening (or not happening) on the shop floor and behaving differently.

My job is to criticise.

If like me, your job is to review the current state of the proposition in a Lingerie Store or department and find opportunities for growth, then you need to have a critical eye.

But it’s also really important to point out what people do well.

I was recently working in the lingerie department in an iconic department store that has been a landmark in Brixton in London for many years; Morleys.

There are lots of things to love ❤️ about this department:

✅ A space that manages to be both intimate and a thoroughfare for footfall at the same time

✅ A layout where I can actually see everything and the staff can see me as a customer - fewer opportunities missed

✅ Swimwear at eye level, merged into the lingerie offer so I don’t feel like I have to move from one department to the other and I can browse both - key, as we reach peak swimwear season

✅ Stock that I can actually see and easily shop, including the matching knickers (no hiding these away behind the bras)

✅ Impactful colour blocking that draws my attention to best sellers

✅ A permanent sale rail so I can actively clear my stock ( no hiding away; no death by stockroom)

✅ Fuller figure mannequins so I feel like whatever my shape or size there maybe something here for me.

Like many good Retail practices, it’s common sense but not always commonly practised. Well done

Why do they go into the fitting room but don’t buy anything? 😩 It’s the same issue wherever your business is in the world and Cristina , our Pudding representative in Italy 🇮🇹 is working closely with our Italian clients, as we do in the UK 🇬🇧 and around the world 🌎 on putting in place processes based on data from our Sales Funnel Tracker.

The moment of truth is in the fitting room, you know! If customers get there but then don’t buy anything, we need to start carefully analyzing what went wrong!

The data we uncover by compiling Pudding’s Sales Funnel Tracker tells us that the problem almost always lies in one of these 3 points:

🧩Space doesn’t convey value: The fitting room isn’t well-designed. Poorly positioned lights and an uncomfortable or reassuring environment trigger a “flight” response. If the customer doesn’t feel beautiful and comfortable, she’ll never buy.

🧩Weak verbal communication: Saying “Do you like it? Is it okay?”, perhaps even with an embarrassed half-smile because you’re not sure when to intervene, is the quickest way to get a “Yes, thank you” and be dismissed. As a Conscious Bra Fitter, your role is to offer technical advice, so start asking targeted questions and reassuring customers who are afraid of purchasing a garment that’s too different from what they usually buy.

🧩Missed Cross-selling: Is it difficult to sell panties too? Yes, if customers don’t see them. Many customers don’t even buy the bra because they can’t see the complete look. Bringing matching panties to the fitting room (unsolicited) is a subtle way to send a powerful message: “I’m thinking about your 360° image.”
Stop relying on intuition. If your funnel tracker data suggests the “hole” is in the post-fitting room phase, that’s where you need to address it: by improving the environment, training staff, or refining your sales technique.

Tracking means stopping guesswork and starting to make money. DM us for more details for how we can help your lingerie business.
