Fashion and wholesale succeed through partnerships.  The industry’s highly interconnected ecosystem makes it strong, agile, and able to continuously reinvent under fire.  The independent designer/department store collaboration exemplifies this dynamic: it re-energizes wholesale year-on-year, serving as a vital innovation engine and a bridge to the future.  Outdated marketing and operations practices, however, have begun to hold it back.  Through the ‘100 Project,’ JOOR and Not Just a Label (NJAL) are forging more open and efficient digital pathways to set up the young talent/retailer alliance for the long term win.

The coronavirus has brought intense challenges to our industry--ones we have never had to face. Even in this shifting environment, however, there are two things we can hold on to with certainty:

• Our industry has always shown unmatched teamwork and tenacity in the face of global crisis--whether economic, or humanitarian.
• This time around, we not only have each other--we have technology in our corner as well.

Amid a moratorium on events and calls for more sustainable practices, tech that facilitates virtual fashion presentations is thrust into the spotlight.

An interactive client base is essential for your wholesale business, however, are you fully taking advantage of your own knowledge when it comes to maximizing sales? With JOOR, upselling can become a seamlessly integrated part of your day-to-day business if you use the right tools at the right time. No one understands your buyers more than you, so let us show you how you can leverage that knowledge and upsell to your buyers on JOOR.

“There is often an assumption that ‘sustainable’ can’t live in mainstream fashion. JOOR helped us break into the wholesale space in such a way that we can compete with ‘normal’ brands and truly go mainstream. That’s a good thing for Tribe Alive--and a good sign for fashion in general.” -- Hannah Paul, Brand Development Associate, Sales and Ethics, Tribe Alive.

Brands and retailers are similar in nature when it comes to the role upselling plays.  While providing outstanding customer service and producing quality products is certainly important, it’s the sometimes-forgotten art of the upsell that remains a key priority for any and all wholesalers.
