Listen Later

As a fashion start up one of the challenges that is often faced is finding the right supplier for your business particularly one that can manufacture smaller minimum quantities. Today, Nicole is joined by one of the founders of Resource Fashion, Ziqi who has established Resource Fashion to help combat that problem.

The 4 main stumbling blocks when you are starting your brand are:

  • Minimum Order Quantity 
  • Quality 
  • Timelines
  • Communication 

Tatiana and Ziqi have established Resource Fashion, an online platform that helps solve those issues and enables you to work with manufacturers in the Far East with quantities as low as 10 units!! How? Well listen to the podcast to find out, but it's a service that is run like a subscription membership that you can cancel out of at any time. Also if you use the service and quote Nicole100 you will get a $100 dollars of your subscription fee. The team personally chat to you before you come on board to understand your needs so no more trawling through Ali baba, Google, etc to find your suppliers for fashion.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  •  You usually find that you never know the status of your orders from overseas. Resource Fashion offers real time tracking and progress updates to keep customers informed about where their products are on the supply chain. 
  • Shipping by air has become more and more expensive, and we can see from the recent troubles with sea shipping, that things can easily go wrong there. 
  • Resource Fashion is a subscription based model with over 95% retention rate. 
  • Resource Fashion is all run off of a system where the customer can review all fabrics, designs, etc and do everything they need to do in one place. 
  • You might not know that when you negotiate a lower price, that could lower the quality of the product you receive from some manufacturers. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Everything that can go wrong, will often go wrong’
