Why Eco-Friendliness Benefits Your Shapewear Brand?

With the shapewear industry becoming increasingly competitive, it’s hard these days to stand out from the competition. Shoppers are looking for shapewear that is eco-friendly. They’re concerned about sustainability and don’t want to buy products from brands that don’t address those concerns. Brands that don’t pay attention to sustainability are going to find themselves losing market share and customers. By adopting environmentally friendly practices, you can attract customers, establish yourself as a leader in the field, and tap into a growing base of consumers who care about the environment.

Answering the Question: Why Eco-Friendliness Benefits Your Shapewear Brand

Making your shapewear brand eco-friendly helps in a few ways: it matches up with what people care about, it allows you to lessen your impact on the environment, and it can give your brand some much-needed good vibes. Look at some of the research: as of 2023, a whopping 73% of global consumers said they would either definitely or probably change their consumption habits to reduce their impact on the environment, according to a survey by Nielsen. That’s a lot of people. So if you incorporate eco-friendly business practices, you are going after a big market segment, you can keep customers hanging onto your brand, and you can tap into a way to set yourself apart from the, uh, other people out there making shapewear for people to buy. By the way, don’t miss the fact that Google will rank your site higher in the search results when you create content that gives users exactly what they want. So, make sure you talk about these three benefits on your brand website and in your marketing materials.

Wait, wait, wait. I’m not done yet. Let me tell you something else. You know how you can leverage eco-friendly business practices to not only save the world but also make more money? Yeah, welcome to the “how to build a sustainable clothing brand and not kill the planet” section of this big-ass post. Seriously, this is where we’ll talk about how to do awesome shit and make more money too. We’ll talk about cool stuff like sourcing materials responsibly, developing manufacturing processes that are less harmful to the environment, and creating marketing campaigns that’ll make greenbacks for your brand. But you have to keep reading to see all of that. I’ve got a lot of good stuff for you. You ready? Here we go.

The Growing Demand for Sustainable Products

The eco movement is a bigger deal than just being trendy, it’s groundbreaking behavior. In a 2022 McKinsey report, 66% of people surveyed said they consider sustainability when making a purchase. This is a good sign for shapewear brands who can cash in on the growing number of people who are concerned about the environment and want to buy products from brands they trust.

How Eco-Friendly Practices Enhance Brand Reputation

When people think of brands that are good for the earth, they think of brands that are good for them. Brands that are good for the planet are seen as responsible, and responsible brands are seen as trustworthy. When people trust you, they will be loyal to you and spend more money with you over time. Also, according to Harvard Business Review, companies with strong sustainability practices outperform others financially and they’re more likely to get people to like them.

Reducing Costs Through Sustainable Production

Being sustainable is key to saving money. When shapewear brands optimize the use of resources, waste less and work more efficiently, they can reduce production costs. For example, if a brand is now using ocean plastic rather than virgin material or has cut its power usage in a way that has dropped its CPA up to 40%, after something like that finishes it impacts everything going forward. There is research out there that says companies that have implemented sustainable programs have reduced overall costs by 20%.

Case Studies: Successful Eco-Friendly Shapewear Brands

Many shapewear brands have successfully integrated eco-friendly practices. Brands like Spanx and Skims have introduced lines made from recycled materials, gaining positive attention and customer support. At Xiesheng Undergarments, we leverage our expertise and extensive production capabilities to create high-quality, sustainable shapewear. Our commitment to using eco-friendly materials and processes not only enhances our brand perception but also drives increased sales and customer loyalty. These industry examples and our own initiatives illustrate the tangible benefits of sustainability.

Implementing Sustainable Practices in Your Brand

Get started with sustainability by running a little audit of your activities to see where you can make some improvements. Maybe that means sourcing sustainable materials, using less energy in your manufacturing processes, or creating less waste in your production. After you’ve made a couple of these changes, talk to your customers about what you’re doing. They love it. If they’re hippies (like I was a long time ago), they’re going to be all about you. Get started by doing these things, and you’ll be blown away by the positive reaction you get.

Conclusion

Now, if you’re thinking ahead for yourself, and you’re seeing how popular sustainability is becoming, you’re probably already thinking about how you can do it all for yourself. You should know that if you’re one of the first brands to jump on the sustainable underwear bandwagon, you’ll have a great opportunity to generate demand while also helping to make a positive impact. What’s great is that you don’t have to be a big brand like Hanes or Nike to make sustainability work for your brand. You can make plenty of changes to improve the sustainability of your brand quickly. It all starts with deciding that it’s the right thing to do for the planet and for your company.
