Currently sourcing products for an ebusiness selling underwear. Brian and I spent the day skulking around isles in Brown Thomas and various other department stores checking out displays and trying to tell what people are buying and for how much. Not too successful although we did come up with a range of prices.
What was definitely much more interesting was the trip to the distributor center, not sure where this was but they had nothing relevant. Asking a worker there was the best information received. He gave us a list of fashion shows to watch out for and to attend if we are going to look at this market. The most interesting one is in Florence which is coming up pretty fast. Could be interesting. The smart arse told us we need to get new clothes if we intend to go to a fashion show. Pretty funny stuff and a good buzz off it.
Enterprise Ireland turned their nose at us, not in a rude way but more of a, come back to use when you're making tons of money. Local Enterprise Board it is although they may be more suitable, who knows???
6 hours on the road and one good lead, gotta start somewhere?!?
