Finding sales agent for my clothing label in USA and Europe

whitekitten — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:39:42 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I own a clothing label and I have launched it in Australian Fashion Week about 2 years ago. I am currently selling in that area as well as Asia and as of the moment, I want to expand and sell in the USA and Europe. Would any of you have recommendations on how to find the perfect agent for my label?

Thanks,
Pia

Re: Boutique merchandise. How to get brand names in your store

Hi. I own a clothing label which is being sold in Australia and South East Asia and I am planning to penetrate the Western market. The other comments are very right, you would have to attend to trade shows and register as a buyer OR contact agents (sales representatives) of the clothing lines that you are wanting to stock in your store. Most big labels are quite picky with the stores that they put their label in or have official distributors in a particular area. It might be wise to mix up and coming labels as well as reputable brands to have good variety and flexible pricepoints.

Hope this helps

Re: Advertising Business

Advertising is an important component of your marketing strategy,
along with direct marketing, PR, exhibitions and a website. The aim of
each of these is to promote your business and communicate the
information you want to send to your intended audience, usually with
the aim of increasing sales.

Until a customer deals with you directly and actually buys your
products or services, your advertising may help to form their first
impressions of your business. While advertising can attract new
customers, it can also turn potential customers away if it seems
amateurish compared with your competitors.

This guide gives advice on where and how to advertise. It also shows
you how to manage the process and ensure you get value for money.

You're probably
here because you want to find a way to make money
online. I don't recommend
getting started online trying to figure it all on your
own, for most people that's a formula for
failure. Great post

Re: Looking to drop PayPal and suggestions for alternatives.

seoservicepro — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:36:45 GMT

I've been doing business on the web long enough to remember when paypal paid me $5 for each new customer I referred to them and still use paypal. Honestly, hard to beat the convenience.

I use google checkout now as a second alternative, but they have their own dispute process as well. But they are a viable alternative for you possibly.

I personally would not use moneybookers. They want you to mail them a copy of your ID. They delay your payments. I had a lot of issues there.

If you were selling online memberships or something, I'd recommend ccbill or ibill.

But you mention ebay. Paypal is still your best option.

Also, if you decide to go through your bank to get a merchant processing deal, look for a ton of enquiries to hit your credit report possibly lowering your score. Each credit card you want to accept equals an enquiry for the most part.

Just my experience. Paypal has its faults, but still the bast alternative in my opinion.
