Practical tips for tailors in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and across India. Follow these actionable steps to get more stitching orders and loyal customers.
Aap din-raat kapde silte ho, designs banate ho, customers ke liye best service dete ho… Lekin orders fir bhi kam kyun aa rahe hain? 😓
Truth yeh hai ki sirf silai ka skill enough nahi hai. Aaj ka tailoring market mein aapko marketing, customer service aur timing ka jugaad bhi lagana padta hai.
Chalo, iss blog mein hum baat karte hain 5 badi galtiyon ki jo Indian tailors unknowingly karte hain – aur unhe kaise fix karke aap apna business grow kar sakte ho.
1) No Online Presence — Sirf Mohalla Customers Pe Depend Karna
Problem: Aaj customers pehle Google search karte hain: “ladies tailor near me”, “blouse stitching in Pune” etc. Agar aapka online profile nahi hai, toh aap new customers se disconnect ho jaate ho.
Fix:Silaiclub.com par free listing banao, 5-7 high-quality photos upload karo aur apna service description city-specific keywords ke saath likho. Example: “Blouse stitching in Jaipur” ya “Kids uniform tailor in Lucknow”. Yeh simple SEO tweak local search mein aapko upar laa sakta hai.
Quick Checklist
Profile title mein city name add karo (e.g., “Best Blouse Tailor in Delhi”)
5 clear photos: front, back, close-up of stitches
Service list: “Blouse stitching, lehenga alterations, men’s tailoring, kidswear”
2) Poor Customer Communication — Slow Replies Kill Leads
Problem: Customer expects quick response. Agar aap late reply karenge, customer dusre tailor ke paas chale jayega.
Fix: WhatsApp Business app use karo. Quick replies set karo (e.g., “Thanks for reaching out — send measurements and preferred date”). Har booking ke liye confirmation message bhejo jisme expected delivery date aur approximate price likha ho.
Example Quick Replies
“Hi, thanks for contacting [Your Shop Name]. Please send a photo of the garment and your preferred delivery date. — Team”
“Order confirmed. Expected ready date: DD/MM. Total cost: ₹XXXX”
“Sorry for the delay — your order will be ready by DD/MM. Here is the progress photo.”
3) Seasonal Demand Ignore Karna
Problem: Festivals aur shaadi season mein orders spike hote hain. Agar aap timely offers, advance booking aur promotions nahi karte — aap bada revenue miss karte ho.
Fix: 1–2 month pehle “Diwali Special” ya “Wedding Season Offers” announce karo. Small discounts for early bookings, bundle offers for bridesmaids, aur quick delivery options rakho.
Seasonal Campaign Ideas
“Diwali Ready: 10% off on saree blouse stitching for early bookings (in Mumbai)”
“Wedding Season Special: Bridal Lehenga alteration package (Jaipur)”
Problem: Customer trust tab aata hai jab aapka kaam dikhai de. Agar aap portfolio nahi dikhate toh customers risk nahi lenge.
Fix: High-quality photos lein, models ya mannequins pe work dikhayein, aur har photo ka short caption likho (service type + city). Example: “Hand-stitched blouse – Jaipur”.
Portfolio Tips
Bright natural lighting, plain background
Close-up shots of stitching & finishing
Before & after photos for alterations
5) Repeat Customers Ko Nurture Na Karna
Problem: Naye customers lana costly hota hai. Repeat customers kam efforts mein zyada revenue le aate hain.
Fix: Customer contact list maintain karo, festival greetings bhejo with exclusive offers, aur referral discounts do. Loyalty card system start karo (e.g., 5th alteration 50% off).
Retention Tactics
WhatsApp broadcast for festival discounts
Referral coupons for customers who bring friends
Birthday/anniversary stitch reminders & offers
