FASHION BUSINESS SERIES: Selling Your Products in Stores - From Consignment to Commercial Leasing

In the digital city of San Francisco, we often find ourselves talking about e-commerce strategies. For fashion companies, in-person sales are also essential for gaining new loyal customers. Having your products in a store allows shoppers to casually discover and interact your brand. This presentation will offer you an overview of options for getting your products in front of potential customers. We’ll cover consignment, street vendors, pop-up shops, and commercial leasing. You’ll learn how to make the most of these opportunities by having the right questions to ask retailers and commercial landlords. We’ll also discuss event planning and marketing, to help you draw those customers in. You’ll walk away with new insights on business development strategies and the legal resources to help you achieve your goals. With attorneys: Alex King: Small Business & Startup Attorney at Bend Law Group and Rachel Fischbein founder of Law On The Runway. >>> RSVP TO ATTEND!
