Throw<br />on top of that inexperience and you are quickly driving down the road<br />of wrong decisions with signs of regret along the way. I felt like an<br />amateur with terms like Consignment and Keystoning, but eventually I<br />learned how pricing worked in a boutique, the hard way. So I decided<br />to write this article to help you become more prepared with the basics<br />before you approach a shop. My name is RoyLyn Palmer-Coleman and I<br />have been running a brand called Vaughn de Heart out of California for<br />a little over a year now. You can find us at <a href="http://www.vaughndeheart.com">www.vaughndeheart.com</a></p><p> </p><p>First question, Should I put my clothing in stores?</p><p> </p><p>Before you approach the shop</p><p>1. Become a regular-Before you approach the shop with your product.<br />If possible, visit the shop a few times. Talk to the employees about<br />the shop, or just fashion in general. Show them that you are not just<br />an average consumer. Make them comfortable with you and when you<br />finally do approach them with your business proposal they may be more<br />willing to sell your product and may even give you insights on what<br />the buyers for the store are looking for and what they like.</p><p>2. Buy from the shop-One of the greatest satisfactions and signs of<br />support is money. Imagine if a designer wanted to collaborate with<br />your brand but before he did he bought 3 of your shirts. How much<br />better would you feel about him when he finally approaches you and<br />says he wants to work with you? It goes a long way toward building<br />credibility. If you support them, chances are, they will be more<br />willing to support you.</p><p>Pricing in a boutique</p><p>1. Consignment-This is when a store will carry your product and take a<br />percentage of each sale. For example a store might agree to take 30%<br />of each sale. So if you choose to sell your shirts for $10 they will<br />take $3 from the sale and you will get $7. Most of the time under<br />this method I have found that you will determine the price in their<br />shop.</p><p>2. Wholesale-Wholesale is when a shop will buy your product from you<br />and then sell it in their shop. The advantage to this method is that<br />you get your money for your product regardless of how many items they<br />actually sell in their shop.</p><p>3. Keystoning-Keystoning is a type of pricing method that is a<br />standard in the industry. How Keystoning works is you determine a<br />wholesale price to sell your product to the store for. They will<br />double that and make it the selling price. For<br />example if you want your shirt to sell for $20 dollars in a particular<br />shop, that means you have to sell your shirt to the shop for $10.<br />Keystoning seems to be the standard wholesale method that I have run<br />into with most shops. So if you go into a boutique, chances are they<br />have bought most of the product in that shop for half of the original<br />selling price. If you are a new brand and your strategy is to make<br />your shirts cheaper than most and still make a profit, you need to be<br />able to make your shirts for less than half of the selling price.<br />This method was all new to me. I thought I would just sell my shirts<br />to the shop at whatever price I could negotiate then they would turn<br />around and sell it for whatever price they wanted (similar to<br />wholesale). But with Keystoning the two are related and gives the<br />shop more power in the bargaining process.</p><p>4. Keystone Plus-In this pricing method the final selling price is more than<br />double the price the boutique buys the shirt. For example, you sell a shirt<br />to a store for $5, the store could turn around and sell it for $16.<br />This would be called Keystone plus 3, because the final selling price was<br />determined as if the store bought the shirt for three more dollars than it actually did.<br />The regular Keystoning method would have priced the shirt at $10.<br />The advantage here goes to the shop because they make more profit, which<br />of they like. So when explaining to the shop what you want the shirt to sell for<br />you would tell them Keystone plus 3.</p><p>Marketing through a boutique</p><p>1. Pop up shop- Team up with the store that is carrying your product<br />and have them feature it in store for a limited period of time. You<br />can have giveaways and special displays to bring people out.</p><p>2. Behind the counter goodies- You can create a flyer or some other<br />promotional giveaway and ask the store if they would put one in the<br />bag of whoever buys something from their shop, not just people who by<br />your brand, creating exposure.</p><p>Keep Adapting</p><p>1. You are not trapped. Just because your product is in stores does<br />not mean that you have to be carried by stores forever. You can<br />change your mind later or even choose a timeline to pull your product<br />from stores.</p><p>2. There is more than one way to start a brand-There have been some<br />who have chosen to be the only ones to carry their product, some who<br />allow their product to be carried by others, or both. All of these<br />methods are respectable and I feel that is not being said enough. It<br />is important to understand your customer to determine witch method is<br />best for you. Sometimes exclusivity will drive your customer directly<br />to you, sometimes exposure, it truly depends on what you are selling<br />and what stage you are in during your development.</p>Hope the information helps you be a little more confident when you<br />approach a shop.

When dealing with a brand with a track record, they can rely on previous sales information in order to make buying decisions such as how many tops, bottoms, dresses to buy, and they order based on this prior history.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">A meeting between an established designer and a store, while based on style, is also driven by data. In extreme cases, successful fashion houses may even suggest what to buy from their collection. Emerging designers, however, do not have this luxury.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">To learn how stores buy from emerging designers, <a href="http://www.senseofashion.com/" style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;text-decoration:underline;color:rgb(99,123,173);">Sense of Fashion</a> interviewed <strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Shira Sue Carmi,</strong> founder of Launch Collective.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Stores need to fall in love – help them<br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" /></strong>As an emerging designer, the first thing you need to do is to make the store fall in love with your line. It’s an aesthetic issue first and foremost: they have to fall in love with the product and they need to feel passionate about it and be convinced that their customers will be equally passionate about it. Only then will they look at prices, which need to be within the range of their department, and ideally on the lower end of their range so there’s an incentive to buy. Then, and only then, will they choose.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Stores are looking for reliable designers – build a good reputation<br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" /></strong>This is very common so don’t be discouraged: Major stores will often look at a brand for the first season without actually buying into the collection. They need to know that if they commit to introducing the brand to their shoppers, the brand will be there for the long run.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The fashion industry is very small, and buyers all know one another and talk about which brands are selling well and shipping on time, and which are not. They look to see that a brand is consistent, because their job is not just finding the latest styles, but rather finding brands they can add to their assortment on a long term basis.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Department stores are different from boutiques – Know who you’re talking to</strong><br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" />There are two types of stores: boutiques and department stores. Department stores carry many categories and have many employees in their buying team. Boutique buyers on the other hand are often also the owners, so they have much more control when making financial decisions, they can decide to take chances. When you’re talking to them, you’re talking to the ultimate decision maker.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">When you’re talking to a department store buyer, you need to know that they have different buyers for different categories. Make sure you are talking to the right person! Also know that these buyers have very limited control, they have a budget for the entire season and at least 80% of it will go to brands they’ve already bought from in the past, so there’s only a small budget left for new brands.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><a href="http://www.senseofashion.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Barneys.jpg" style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;text-decoration:underline;color:rgb(99,123,173);"><img class="size-medium wp-image-892 alignleft" title="Barneys Clothing Buyer" src="http://www.senseofashion.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Barneys-300x176.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="176" style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:1.571em;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;border-top-style:none;border-right-style:none;border-bottom-style:none;border-left-style:none;float:left;" /></a></span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Stores only buy at specific times in the year – use that window of opportunity<br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" /></strong>The big sales seasons are spring and fall. The buyers buy for spring from mid-August to late-October, and for fall from mid-January until late-March. Be sure to secure meetings with them in those periods, otherwise even if they like your line they won’t be able to buy it.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">This, of course, is also a tricky game: you want to reach them early, while they still have the budget available to buy, but not so early that they’re not yet ready to make a decision.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Most stores don’t make huge orders – know what to expect</strong><br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" />In your first season, department stores are most likely not to buy at all, and boutiques might buy small. On your second season, if they like you they will probably place a small order. For an American boutique, this can range between $1,500 to $3,000 per season at wholesale, and in future seasons if your product sells well it goes up from there.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">A purchase order from a store is a binding contract – read it carefully</strong><br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" />Stores don’t usually place an order the first time they see you. They take notes, marking the styles that they like, then they go back to their offices and crunch the numbers. Only then do they place the order, by fax or email.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">You need to send a confirmation, review and approve the order. Once you approve, the order becomes a binding contract. A SIGNED PURCHASE ORDER (PO) is a binding contract. You need to make sure you can meet all of the conditions in the order – time frame, cancellation date, shipping terms, packaging and labeling requirements, etc.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Stores over-buy – don’t give them a reason to cancel</strong><br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" />A lot of stores, especially small boutiques, often over-buy, so there’s always the chance they will try to cancel the order later on if their overall sales don’t live up to their original plan.</span></p><p style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.571em;margin-left:0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"><strong style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">Stores love to be first – offer exclusivity</strong><br style="padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;" />Stores often pride themselves on being the first to offer their shoppers new and exciting designers and styles, to differentiate themselves from the many other stores that their customers can shop.
