Hello all
I'm trying to decide what seems the best strategy to get tee business going.
For maternity tees and infant/toddler tees, does it make more sense to try to wholesale to stores/retailers right out the gate? Or, does it make more sense to go direct-to-consumer and set up an ecommerce site? Or, is a mixture of both the way to go?
Also, what's the best strategy to get into retail space if you can't afford to attend the tradeshow circuit, contacting the stores directly? Or, do you have to get an independent sales rep.; if so, what is the process to get a sales rep and how much does that cost or what is the industry norm in terms of commission structure?
Sorry
I know I'm asking a lot, but I would love to hear what has worked for folks on the forum. I definitely could use all of your insight.
A thousand thanks in advance.
