Fashion Buying Advice

[Elaine McCosh]

Hi all I’m in the process of setting up N independent boutique and have made contact with wholesalers etc but my question is specific to trade shows how do you “buy” at these events (places like Pure and Moda) thanks in advance

 

[Mr D]

You go to a trade show, tell a rep you want to place an order and either they come around with you for that stand or they give you a form (and clipboard) with you writing down what you want to buy.
Hand in your order, they process it ....
Some places take payment at trade shows, some produce the invoice there and then, some will send you the invoice to pay.

Its always worth asking what show offers are on. Minor discount, free this or that if spending over £x
