Make sure you communicate your presence at Who’s Next – let your community know that you’ll be exhibiting, and send invitations to your buyers and potential clients.
Next, make sure you’re prepared with all the sales tools you’ll need during the event: lookbooks, catalogues, order books, price lists in major currencies, margin rates, commission rates, business cards and your commercial pitch. In terms of merchandising, be sure to carefully select the pieces that best represent not only your brand image and story, but also the pieces that will appeal to the French market. Personalise your stand so that buyers can understand your brand straight away.
