How Maxis Made Online Advertising Easier for BASH Clothing

Tell us a bit about yourself and BASH Clothing.

My name is Cecilia Ooi, and I am the Director of BASH Clothing. BASH Clothing was founded in 2014 so we’ve been in business for about 8 years now. We sell affordable and trendy female clothing and accessories online and just like what our name says, we are all about happy things like parties and making bold statements. We take pride in empowering girls through fashion and content that help develop a community of strong, positive girls.

Because we always try to do things differently, we stay away from boring, conventional content about fashion and we engage with our audience in the languages they speak as well!
 

How did BASH Clothing do during the MCO?

Truth be told, it was business as usual for us because our business model is online by nature. However, our sales were definitely impacted by the lockdown presumably because everyone stayed home so no one needed to dress up to go anywhere.
 

What were the things that BASH Clothing did right throughout the MCO?

During MCO, we understood that everyone’s fashion needs would shift because they were at home most of the time. Tapping into that insight, we thought of what people would wear at home and quickly catered to that need by bringing in more loungewear and comfortable basic pieces that were perfect for work-from-home meetings.
 

What is the most common problem that BASH Clothing hopes to solve?

Intense competition is definitely one of the biggest challenges in our industry, especially now that barrier of entry is much lower online. Hence, we would really need to stand out among our competitors.

What was it about the Maxis Digital Marketing Starter Kit that stood out to you the most?

What stood out the most about the Maxis Digital Marketing Starter Kit was the emphasis on getting my advertisements done in a few clicks, which is what busy online businesses like us need. Its online advertising services brought the convenience of being able to push our advertising campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, Google ads, or any other platform, all at once on Maxis Digital Marketing Starter Kit.

What advice would you give to other SMEs who are considering taking their businesses online?
