Fashion brands and the cost of company size

The problem

Fashion brands and company size: the shortcuts stop working, for one specific reason. Fashion brands run on seasons, so the same brand looks like two different companies six months apart, and company size inherits that. On fashion brands, company size rarely catches this: a scan taken between seasons reads as a collapse when it is a calendar. There is 1 runnable example of company size for fashion brands below.

Why anyone bothers

Traffic rank is a proxy for the size of fashion brands, and like every proxy it is right in aggregate and capable of being badly wrong on any single row.

Traditional Search Tools

• The brand's own lookbook and stockist page, for fashion brands. Free, and it names the retail relationships nothing else exposes.
• SimilarWeb or Semrush. Traffic estimates with a real methodology behind them, and a subscription. Accurate enough at the top of the market and increasingly speculative in the tail.
• LinkedIn headcount. Free and directionally useful. It counts profiles, not employees, so it flatters technology companies and undercounts everyone else.
• Their own numbers. About pages, annual reports, press releases. Self reported and usually the most accurate thing available.
• Look at the site. Careers page, customer logos, whether there is a pricing page at all. Two minutes and a person reads this far better than a rank does.
