Contents and Overview
The topics are based on the common problems and questions new brands have. I’m familiar with these issues since I’m an online retail buyer for a top 300 retailer. These are the topics I’m commonly asked when new brands are seeking advice from a buyer.
As a retail buyer with over 6 years of experience I have seen a lot of mistakes. For example, there are many tee-shirt brands on the market that will never land on a website, due to various legal problems with the retailer carrying the line. Communication can be an issue as well, especially when the owner of a brand lacks a retail or fashion management background and does not understanding common retail terms.
This course contains 7 topics and over 50 lectures. The majority of videos time length ranges from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, so you don’t feel overwhelmed by the material. In the class I give out helpful worksheets, resources for more information, and offer a quiz to learn terms.
I designed this course to be easily understood by beginners with no legal or business background. This class is perfect for teenagers to adults looking to start something new. I have a background in teaching, training and understand the importance of making lessons clear and simple.
At the end of the course you will feel more confident with the legal and business topics covered. You will gain valuable skills to help you run your fashion business as a seasoned professional.
