Mimu Maxi is an Ecommerce clothing and lifestyle brand run by two sisters-in-law-Mimi and Mushky.
As Orthodox Jews, they were searching for clothes that were both stylish and while meeting their modesty requirements.
When they couldnโt find what they were looking for, they started up their own clothing line.
Since then, theyโve built a customer base including women from all across the spectrum: Religious and secular, Jewish, Muslim, and non-denominational alike.
But how did they grow from a two women mini-show to having over 50,000 followers on Instagram and hundreds of orders a month?
In two words: Community building.
Mimu Maxi, first and foremost is successful because it's a business addressing a specific need, and everything they post is related to this need for stylish, modest clothing.
If you go on their Instagram you'll see a mixture of posts: colorful pictures of their clothing with beautiful models, happy pictures of satisfied clients, interspersed with pictures of the owners, employees, delivery workers, and trucks, and behind the scenes moments.
Speaking to their audience in an open and honest way, even discussing the challenges they sometimes face, and owning the small, family-owned business label gives followers a feeling that there is a real person on the other side of their posts who cares for and is engaging in a real dialogue with followers.
The feeling of community is also amplified by their posts featuring clients wearing their clothing.
Starting out, they worked in a tiny space shipping the orders out themselves, working long hours while building a name for themselves.
Build a community. Involve your customers and their reviews in your social media marketing and don't be afraid to expose what goes on behind the Insta scenes.
