article: If you are trying to fix a new shoe, the squeak may be a manufacturing defect that makes you eligible for a refund or replacement. Using glue or other heavy-duty materials may void your warranty. Saddle soap is controversial among owners of fine leather shoes. Some claim it causes the leather to dry out, while others find it harmless. If you're willing to take this risk, apply saddle soap in small quantities to the problem area, and buff with a dry cloth. This may be particularly effective on a squeaky tongue. Never use saddle soap on suede. This should only be done if none of the "easy fixes" above work, since excess glue can easily damage or stain shoes. If the shoe heel is loose, use a small dab super glue or rubber cement to reattach it firmly, pressing together for several seconds until the adhesive begins to take hold.  This will not work on urethane shoes. Take expensive high heels to a shoe repair shop instead to avoid the risk of damage. Take the shoes to a cobbler or repair shop and ask for advice, or hire someone to fix it for you. About half of squeaky shoes squeak due to a loose shank inside the shoe, or another problem that should be left to a professional.

article: Various factors can affect how well you sell your clothes.  Who is your competition, locally and nationally?  Thinking about what styles and articles of clothing you want to offer, and comparing them to what others offer, will help you find a niche for your clothing line.  Trying to sell t-shirts in the dead of winter can be a challenge.  Try to change your clothing lineup seasonally to keep up with relevant consumer needs.  Apart from online sales, always sell clothes that are appropriate for the climate where your consumers live. Having a well-defined market is crucial for success, especially in the small business world where you lack name-brand recognition.  Ask yourself who your customer base is, and who you believe it could or should be. Collect information on the demographics buying your clothes.  Think about your customers’ race, age, income level, education level, and family status. Equally important is an understanding of your target market’s cultural attributes (psychographics).  What are their personalities like?  Their sense of humor?  Their values, interests, and hobbies? Use this info to craft clothes that will appeal to consumers characterized by these lifestyles and behaviors. Do not exclude groups who do not fit your ideal customer criteria; rather, make those who are most likely to be interested in your clothes a priority when advertising and conducting brand outreach on social media. These are the most basic elements of your brand.  Your brand name should be short, catchy, and memorable.  Your logo should similarly be simple and be easily reproducible from a consumer’s memory.  A logo is a symbol which represents your brand.  Think of Nike’s swoosh, or McDonald’s golden arches.  These are instantly recognizable logos, and provide consumers with a visual representation of the company and its values.  A detailed, ornate logo (perhaps it includes cursive script or lots of filigrees) implies sophistication and class. A clean, minimalistic logo (Apple’s apple with a missing bite), in turn, will inspire a sense of modernity and practicality. Good logos are distinctive and stand out from the crowd.   Consider a variety of options before settling on your brand name and logo.  Once selected, it can be difficult to rebrand. The vision statement is a road map for where you want to go in the future.  How will selling clothing be different for your business in a year?  In three years?  What markets or stores do you want to expand into?  A vision statement can be broad (“We will continue to grow and build our customer base”), or it can encompass specific steps (“In six months, we will open a new location, and in ten months we will ship our products to new markets in L.A. and southern California.”)  Think about your business’ future and how you can best get there. The mission statement, in contrast with the vision statement, is an expression of your more day-to-day, short-term purposes. A mission statement should be pithy and succinct.  Consider Google’s mission statement: “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”  Straightforward and uncomplicated, a mission statement should comprise only a single sentence.  For a clothing company like yours, a mission statement might read: “Our mission is to provide functional, comfortable outerwear for men and women.” Your brand ideal is the larger goal behind selling your clothes.  Everyone wants to make money, of course, but it is important to think beyond the monetary aspect of selling the clothes you make.  Whatever you do, identify how your business is giving back and changing your community for the better.  It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s good business, and people will respond positively to a thoughtful mission.  For example:  Are you promoting women’s rights through affirmative messaging on your shirts? Do you use only ethically-made dyes and materials in your clothes? Do you use the business to teach textile skills to ex-cons or other marginalized groups? Keep your styles and iconography focused and unified.  Do not, for instance, create ten feminine dresses with flowers on them and then one pair of military boots with metal studs coming out of the heels.  This runs contrary to your clothing line’s identity and will confuse consumers.

Many celebrities live in these cities, and spending time there may increase your chances of meeting someone famous. Either make clear your hobby of taking photos with the stars, or casually mention your particular interest to one person. You never know who knows the guy who knows the guy who knows the guy who trains Brad Pitt.  Play it cool. Just as you would protect your friends, colleagues, boss, or employee from someone who seems threatening, someone involved in the life of a celebrity is not going to introduce you if you seem dangerous, bizarre, or embarrassing. Express your interest in a particular field of art or entertainment, rather than one particular person. If your social and work network knows of your love of film, music, or theater, they are more likely to share information, tickets, and news pertaining to a wide variety of people in your interest group. You might get information on a Beyoncé concert if your friends know you love pop music. But if they think you only are interested in Taylor Swift, they may not bother to tell you. When you go for coffee or lunch in a popular area, ask the people working there who comes in. Some people can be very open, and may even tell you which day of the week, or time of day, certain people tend to get their groceries or pick up their takeout. Theater performances, gallery openings, book signings, and other official appearances will be noted. Visit the theater or gallery where the celebrity is scheduled to appear. Talk with the people who work there. You never know who may tell you a bit of information regarding his or her whereabouts.
