How to Boost Your Retail Store Profits Absolutely Free?

How to Boost Your Retail Store Profits Absolutely Free?

Ecofabrik announces an innovative profit growth program for fashion boutiques and retail apparel stores.

Oxnard, CA, 2018-Aug-10 — /EPR Retail News/ — Ecofabrik Organic Gear is introducing a unique partnering for profits co-op program for selected organic apparel boutiques and fashion retail stores. This is a rare opportunity and perhaps a unique concept where Ecofabrik assumes all upfront costs associated with product sourcing/purchasing, importing, and warehousing including shipping and handling of products to their partner resellers. Once the “reseller partner” has been selected and approved, agreed upon earth-friendly products will be placed in their store. All products will be retail ready with hang tags and barcode labels affixed. Retailers will scan and sell the merchandise and pay Ecofabrik once a month for what was sold after deducting a generous percentage of the MSRP as the retailer’s share. Ecofabrik will also pay for the S&H if the retailer needed to return/replace any merchandise. Basically, this is a great opportunity for selected retailers to increase their market share and maximize their profits without risking a dime of their own.

Ecofabrik believes that many organic apparel products made from Bamboo, Hemp, and Organic Cotton are imported into USA from China, India, Bangladesh and other Asian countries. This involves product sourcing, negotiating with foreign suppliers, shipping agents and working with US custom authorities and clearing agents. This is a painstaking process that requires special skills, substantial cash investment and is fraught with supply chain risks. “We have developed in-depth expertise in import business over the past ten years which allows us to bring fair trade, quality products into the US market in an efficient and cost-effective manner,” said Homer Dakaz, a managing partner of Ecofabrik. “We will be extending this competitive advantage to our “reseller partners” to help increase ours & their market share and profitability with zero investment and no risk on their part.”

Ecofabrik’s Marketing Manager; Joe Ecosapien is inviting green businesses to contact him to learn more about this exciting opportunity. While he is very confident about the success of this program, he remains cautious as to how it will be perceived by the business community. “Some store owners will dismiss this outright as a laughably simplistic business model. A few, however, will be willing to give it a go as an excellent business opportunity. We will carefully select only a few like-minded “reseller partners” from each state in the USA to ensure the success of the program. However, a basic requirement of joining the program is to own a brick & mortar store and good standing within the business community of their geographic retail market”, said Joe.

Only green businesses; fashion boutiques and retail stores that sell earth-friendly casual apparel for men and women need to contact. Ecofabrik deals only in products made of organic cotton, bamboo, hemp and other earth-friendly/sustainable fabrics. A collection of these products can be seen at their website; www.ecofabrik.com

WOMbat Starts 2010 With Fairtrade Sales Surge

Sales of Fairtrade T-shirts and sweatshirts have shot up in recent weeks according to adventure clothing retailer WOMbat.

The Cheshire-based company has reported a 9% like-for-like rise in the number of Fairtrade branded goods sold so far during February along with an overall growth of 45% with the addition of their new stores.

The news follows hot on the heels of an announcement by the Fairtrade Foundation this week, which revealed a 12 per cent year-on-year increase in the volume of Fairtrade products sold in the UK. Despite the recession, it is estimated that consumers spent £800m on ethically-sourced items such as clothing, tea, chocolate and coffee in 2009.

WOMbat, which has four shops and an online outlet, said it has seen an increase in demand for Men and Women’s Fairtrade Clothing products across its range of clothing, although fair trade cotton T-shirts have been proving particularly popular.

WOMbat’s Victoria Tingey said: “Ethical clothing is the cornerstone of our business, so it is fantastic to see this month’s sales increase. WOMbat is a supplier of adventure clothing, but we feel just as strongly about the concept of fair trade as we do about the outdoors.

“There has been a considerable increase over recent years when it comes to recognition of the Fairtrade brand and what it stands for and consumers are now far more aware of the issues surrounding fair trade and the environment.

“It is encouraging to see that even in the face of a recession, people are committed to purchasing ethically-sourced goods. The global recession has made it more critical than ever that we support producers in developing countries.”

The new summer Fairtrade clothing lines are due to hit WOMbat’s website and its retail stores in Cambridge, Chester, Abersoch and Bristol within the next couple of weeks. And in an attempt to get more shoppers to try ethical clothing, the firm is offering a 10 per cent discount on all Fairtrade cotton clothing until March 7.
