Since the civilized era, branding has played a very important role in business activities which when people recognize the brand, they have a perceived perception of the object. Seems simple and practical, many people mistakenly think that brand-building is an easy thing to do and therefore many businesses are stuck or even fail because they are not built through the appropriate implementation of strategies. One of which included Raiment, an online platforms-based business which helps people to create or customize clothing products. Having a vision to simplify the process of procuring a clothing product that was previously considered inefficient, concerns started to arise after it was known that the number of sales generated by Raiment for more than 1 year operating did not have any significant progress. In fact, most of the sales generated are still related through relatives such as friends and families. The aim of this research is to help Raiment to be able to assess the related factors in building its brand and also develop the right strategy to be able to create a better brand. External and internal analysis are also used in this research to help see the root of the problems faced by Raiment. The external analysis included is Porter's Five Forces, PESTEL Analysis, and Competitor Analysis. Meanwhile, the internal analysis included is Company Analysis and Brand Audit Analysis. The results of this study indicate that the roots of the problems faced by Raiment are around unclear brand-building guidelines, lack of available budget, lack of knowledge regarding the industry, and also lack of brand marketing efforts. Several solutions were proposed to address the root causes of the problem in developing the Raiment brand, such as creating a brand positioning model to increase brand awareness, building a brand resonance model to build brand loyalty, and also creating a brand value chain model to measure returns from the allocated investment for brand marketing activities. The results of this research can also help other businesses in improving and strengthening the existence of their brands, especially in the Indonesian market. With a note, further studies related to the garment/convection industry need to be carried out due to the growing trend.
