The Apparel Bootcamp:
Lessons for Survival and Success in the Fashion Business
Tuesdays, Sept 14th - Nov. 16th
Are you having problems because you know much more about designing clothes than about running the business side of your own company?
Are you just getting started and need to determine if you know enough for your company to survive?
Are you "spinning your wheels" and going nowhere fast?
If so, this class is for you!
Among the topics that will be explored are:
Management (size, functions, expertise)
Market Analysis (what to produce, for whom, at what price)
Competition (product comparisons, distribution channels)
Marketing Strategies (goals, tactics, timing, cost)
Financial Projections (expenses, profit margins, sales volumes)
In the highly volatile, fast moving apparel industry, the reality is that the strong survive while the weak get eaten. As a small manufacturer you are faced with too little capital, too few sales, and too little time to do too many tasks. Like a tightrope walker, you're one mistake away from a disaster.
This no-holds barred course, The Apparel Boot Camp™, will help you to look at your company with a critical eye and see where you need to make changes in order to help the venture thrive. Through a combination of lectures, group discussions, reading assignments, and Q & A sessions, course participants will look at a different aspect of the business each week and will be provided with techniques, strategies, and information that they can use to become more profitable, produce a better product, and sell more units.
If you're serious about your business and are willing to make changes in order to better compete in the marketplace, this is the course for you! Take charge of your business future. Sign up NOW!!!
The cost of the ten-week course is ($405 for FBI members; $450 for Non-members) and class size is limited to 20 people. (Training material costs an additional $50).
Please note: this is a 10-week full program and no single classes will be available.
Fee Must Be Pre-Paid.
