The CEO has experience running online apparel brands and the Marketing Director has a track record of collaborating with influencers and celebrities to add value.
The company is looking for European distributors or stores with some experience in the apparel market, although winter sports experience is not essential. The intention is to work with any interested parties to ensure existing and ongoing marketing efforts are supportive of their sales activities.
The company's products were stocked in leading European retailers over the course of Winter 2019, with repeat orders for next season already secured. This provides third-party validation that the company's products can add value to a distributor or store's offering.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Looking for stores or distributors with experience selling apparel that are looking to stock new products. Ideally, the potential partner would have experience selling winter sports-related goods but this is not essential. The company would be delighted to speak with partners that are looking at moving into this sector.
This cooperation type was sought by the company as they wish to increase their presence within the market across various countries, without being required to supervise all sales made. Furthermore, the products offered by the company do not require adaptation or tailoring for specific customers and will be sold on in the same state that they are supplied to the distributors.
