BACKGROUND

Indonesia's modest fashion industry has evolved since the establishment of the "Hijabers Community" in 2010, with the majority Muslim population representing 87%. The surge in demand for modest apparel during religious events like Ramadan and Iedul Fitri offers opportunities for modest clothing brands to improve marketing efforts and offer special promotions. Digital platforms like Instagram and TikTok are promising for building modest clothing brands in Indonesia.

 

The growing number of users on social media, particularly women, and the development of modest/islamic fashion clothing make online marketing and selling dresses and hijabs a trend. However, challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic have impacted the industry, with revenue dropping and major brands closing stores. Effective marketing strategies, especially on social media, are crucial for modest clothing brands to bounce back after the pandemic and in a tight competition.

 

Bytwin by Ian, an Indonesian modest and islamic clothing online brand, has been selling products since 2016. The company offers a range of plain dresses, pattern dresses, hijabs, skirts, tunics, and pants. Sales are primarily through direct chats and e-commerce platforms like Shopee, TikTokshop, and Tokopedia. Bytwin by Ian's logo is attached to their products and is primarily sold on Instagram. 

 

The company operates with a one-man management style, with the owner being responsible for strategic decisions, production planning, content planning, and managing employees. The company has a simple organizational structure, with four employees for daily operational tasks and one person responsible for admin/customer service, content making, live hosting, warehouse, and packing. The company's vision and mission are to be the go-to place for fashionable and Islamic clothing, while maintaining quality and innovation.

 

Bytwin by Ian, a modest fashion business, is facing declining revenue and weakened marketing tools due to the rapid changes in social media trends. The business has fluctuated in sales and overall growth since its launch until 2019, but has experienced a decline in revenue since 2022 until 2023. The company is currently facing issues such as piling dead stocks in the warehouse, declining revenue, late joining trends, and ineffective marketing ads. The research will focus on improving marketing advertisements and reaching the target.

Digital Marketing Communication Models Literature Review

Visser et al (2021) highlight the importance of digital marketing communication in attracting new customers, with pricing and online sales being crucial components. The RAIA model will be used for this research.

 

RAIA Model

The RAIA model is used in digital marketing to reach and convince target audiences to visit online sellers, utilizing paid, earned, and owned media, along with offline communication. The ultimate goal is to generate sales, with conversion divided by two type: Soft conversion, involves intermediary actions like clicking on ads or visiting websites, often involving multiple soft conversions to achieve hard conversion, such as reading messages, watching videos, using search engines, and clicking links; Hard conversion, as the sales generated by customers after the digital marketing attempt is being made.

Reaching the target audience involves posting a video on social media, attracting their attention (attention), and ensuring they stay engaged (interest). Activation involves motivating them to visit the website and follow through with the digital marketer's required actions  (Visser et al, 2021).

 

Business Situation Analysis Literature Review 

In this research, the analysis of the business situation is divided into two, internal and external analysis. Internal Analysis that are used in this research are STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning) Analysis, and Marketing Mix Analysis. And for External Analysis the author used Competitor Analysis.

 

STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning) analysis is a marketing strategy used by businesses to target, segment, target, and position their products to meet diverse consumer needs and preferences (Kotler et al 2005). 

 

Kotler et al (2017) define the marketing mix as a combination of controllable tactics used to increase demand for a product. The four Ps (product, promotion, price, place) are key variables in this mix. An effective marketing program integrates these elements to achieve business goals, creating a strong, targeted market positioning.

 

This research uses a Competitor Analysis framework to identify key competitors, assess their objectives, strategies, strengths and weaknesses, and reaction patterns. The process involves identifying competitors, collecting information about them, assessing their strategies, strengths, and weaknesses, and creating a competitor matrix for easier comparison and analysis.

 

Product Life Cycle (PLC) Strategy Literature Review

The Product Life Cycle (PLC) strategy literature review outlines five stages: product development, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. Each stage involves a product's sales and profits over its lifetime.
