Welcome back to the Fast Track Your Fashion Brand Podcast! In Episode 94, I’m showing you exactly how to use the Fashion Launch Mentor AI to clarify your ideal customer persona.

We’re on Step 2 of my tween swimwear brand build-out and this step is all about your audience. This is where you start understanding who you’re selling to, what they want, and why they’ll buy from you.

💡 Why it matters: The clearer you are on your audience, the easier it becomes to create products, content, pricing, and launch strategies that actually work.

The Goal of the Fashion Launch Mentor

The Fashion Launch Mentor AI is designed to build out your entire launch blueprint …from pricing and customers to marketing strategy… step by step, all inside the app.

By the time you finish all 12 steps, you’ll have a complete, actionable plan for launching your fashion line.

In Step 2, we’re focusing on clarifying your core audience.

Step 2 — Clarifying Your Core Audience

The Fashion Launch Mentor AI asks you a series of questions to pull out details about your customer. For my tween swimwear brand, I realized I actually have two customers:

1. The Tween (the end user)
   
2. The Mom (the purchaser)
   

The tween has the influence (“Mom, I’m not wearing that”), but the mom holds the credit card. This step makes you think about both sides.

Building the Tween Persona

Age: 9–14 years old (influenced by slightly older girls).
Vibe: Glam + sporty — playful yet trendy.
Influences: TikTok and YouTube stars talking about beauty, lifestyle, and fashion.
Needs: Wants to feel cute and confident without fussing with her swimsuit.
Frustrations: Falling out of “kiddie” brands like Target but not ready for mature cuts like Zara or H&M.
Aesthetic: A mix of clean-girl, girly-glam, and sporty — active but still stylish.

Building the Mom Persona

Age: Late 20s–late 40s.
Shops At: Target, H&M, online boutiques, Instagram inspiration.
Priorities: Fit, quality, long-lasting value, and modesty while keeping up with trends.
Pain Points: Overexposure, poor fit, fast growth, and wasting money on trendy items that don’t last.
Desired Emotion: She wants to see the smile on her daughter’s face, knowing she’s comfortable and stylish — and that she made a smart purchase.

Turning Data Into Personas

The Fashion Launch Mentor AI instantly transformed my answers into clear personas:

• Savvy Sophia (Tween): 9–14, glam + sporty, playful yet trendy, TikTok/YouTube influenced, wants cool, no-fuss swimwear.
  
• Modern Mama (Mom): Late 20s–40s, values fit, quality, and modesty, shops online and on Instagram, seeks smart purchases that last.
  

When you think of your audience as real people instead of just age ranges, your marketing and product decisions become 10x easier.

Their Pain Points = Your Content Goldmine

Once you know what frustrates your customers, you have endless ideas for captions, Reels, and emails:

• Tweens want something cool, not babyish.
  
• Moms worry about fit, quality, and waste.
  

This is where you can create content that speaks directly to your customers’ frustrations and desires.

Desired Outcome

• For Tweens: Feel fun, cute, and free to swim, laugh, and play without readjusting.
  
• For Moms: Feel proud of a smart purchase, knowing their daughter is stylish, confident, and comfortable.
  

Sticky Tagline (auto-generated):
“Made for girls who want the glam and the game and the moms who want it to last.”

If something feels off, you can literally tell the Mentor, “Rewrite this portion,” and it will adjust. Then you just click “Yes” to move on to Step 3 (Problem & Solution).

Why Step 2 Matters

Clarifying your core audience gives you:

• A clear picture of who you’re selling to.
  
• Messaging that resonates.
  
• Easier pricing, product decisions, and marketing ideas.
  

This is where your brand stops being an idea and starts becoming a business.
