This week we hit a milestone with our clothing company. We have now transitioned from selling our clothing through consignment, to selling our clothes wholesale to the retailers. The store that we have been selling our clothing through, Freedom, has now started purchasing stock from us at wholesale. This is now going to be the approach we will take with all future retailers. We will create a look-book (catalog) for retailers to chose from, and try to secure contracts for wholesale purchases from them. This is generally how business is done in the fashion industry, and this is a significant step for our business. Since Freedom has just made a wholesale purchase from us, we now have the funds to go ahead with producing our women's line of t-shirts for the summer.
As for my online business project, I need to free up some time so that I can meet with some of the people that are interested in joining me on it. These last few weeks have been extra busy, and I need to start prioritizing to get things done.
Finally, I came across a great link from Seth Godin to Chris Guillebeau's blog and his manifesto about becoming a pro blogger. This is a fantastic resource for anyone that is interested in professional Internet writing and online art. You can check it out here.
