A problem that faces many retail sellers who are either just starting out, or who have been in business for years selling women’s wholesale clothing, only to face a changing market is this : What season should I be buying for?

After all, it’s hard to tell. New York’s Fashion week just showcased their collection of trendy spring clothing. Spring! And it’s not even October yet. So how do you buy for the future, and what do you keep on the shelves now? “Well, it’s a good idea to always have something at the front of the store that matches the weather of the day. Sometimes that means rotating your T racks every day, but in the end, it’s worth it.” Says our in house merchandising specialist.

Another good rule of thumb is to buy for two seasons at once. For instance, now, in October, you should be buying Winter and Spring wholesale clothing. “What about Fall?”, you ask. Well, that’s what should be on your shelves right now! If you’re still struggling under old, unsold summer goods, it’s time to pack them up, or move them out. Going too low on them will be a money drain, when the same goods will sell well next summer with proper storage attention.

If you buy both winter and spring, then your fall wholesale clothing can move to the sales racks when bitter cold hits, and they’ll still sell well enough, as they can be used for under or over layering for winter goods. When spring comes, Fall needs to be totally gone, and the winter goods can go on sale. Even as late as March or April, someone will make an impulse buy of a coat on a blistery day.

Understanding the Versatility of Sweaters

Historically, sweaters have been popular throughout many fads and fashions withstanding the test of time. Sweaters are one of the most versatile of fashionable apparel, and sweaters come in a copious number of styles, designs, and price tags. Yes, sweaters can keep you warm, but a sweater can also keep you stylish and cool even on the hottest of days.

Just a few types of sweaters include cardigan sweaters, wool sweaters, argyle sweaters, sweatshirts, cashmere sweaters, and even dog sweaters! In times past, sweaters were hand knitted from wool, but even within the wool category, there are different types of popular wool material used to make wearable sweaters.

Exploring the Undershirt

Commonly, sweaters of all types are worn over an undershirt. Women’s shirts, normal t-shirts, custom t-shirts, polo shirts, and dress shirts are all popular types of shirts to use as an undergarment with a sweater. The type of undershirt worn will be partially dictated by the type of sweater worn for the day.

Normal t-shirts, custom t-shirts, some pop shirts, and some women’s shirts are useful because there is no collar. When worn under a women’s sweater, only the sweater is left showing. However, sometimes, a collar such as those seen with many dress shirts, polo shirts, and women’s shirts, can be a stylish way to accessorize the sweater while adding a bit of additional insulation on those cool days or nights.

Types of Popular Sweaters

There are a few popular categories most sweaters fall into today: cardigan sweaters, crewneck sweaters, Vee neck sweaters or V-neck sweaters, and turtleneck sweaters. Each of these popular categories offer something special to the consumer.

Cardigan Sweater

Cardigan sweaters can be short sleeved, long sleeved, or somewhere in between. What makes a cardigan sweater a cardigan sweater is the front-style closure. Usually, the closure will be either buttons or zippers, but sometimes other types of closures will be utilized. The cardigan sweater will be similar to a knitted jacket.

Cardigan sweaters are useful for any temperatures, occasions, and body sizes. Plus size sweaters will often have numerous cardigan sweaters to accent the natural beauty of the plus size woman.

Crewneck Sweaters

Crewneck sweaters are an extremely popular and versatile type of sweater. Most commonly, the crewneck sweater refers to a sweater an individual would pull over the head, and where the neckline of the sweater is close to the neck. Rounded crewneck sweaters and boat neck crewneck sweaters are two of the most popular of crewneck sweaters on the market today.

With a crewneck sweater, the sweater is a solid piece with no closures. These look great with an undershirt containing a collar or a simple t-shirt to protect from skin irritation often accompanying a sweater.

Vee Neck Sweaters or V-Neck Sweater - Click here to View

Vee neck sweaters, or v-neck sweaters, are extremely popular in today’s busy and stylish women’s apparel. This type of sweater is similar to the crewneck sweater except the neckline makes a “V”. In addition, the vee neck sweater is also found commonly with closures.

The v-neck sweater is a popular sweater with or without the addition of an undershirt. Additionally, plus size sweaters will often be a vee neck sweater to show-off a bit of cleavage. Many plus size sweaters are a v-neck sweater because many larger women do not appreciate the snugness of the crewneck sweater.

Turtleneck Sweaters

Turtleneck sweaters have been popular for as long as sweaters have been around. These beautiful sweaters have an unusual neckline – the neckline of turtleneck sweaters has extra material so that the sweater bunches around and covers the neck. This is great for the woman wanting to add a bit of warmth with high style.

Plus size sweaters may come in a turtleneck styles, but usually the more extended the size, the less likelihood the sweater will have be a turtleneck sweater. Plus size women do not usually appreciate the constriction offered by the turtleneck style. Instead, a vee neck or even a crewneck is preferred in plus size sweaters.

Designs and Materials

The designs and materials used in sweaters is evolving over time, but sometimes, the designs and materials will never go out of style. These designs and materials have withstood the test of time and will be with us for centuries to come. Most commonly the materials used in developing the sweater will change according to new technologies utilized in the development of the material.

Cashmere Sweaters

Cashmere sweaters are one of the softest, most luxurious sweaters on the market today, and the cashmere sweater is a good example of a fashionable, evolving material. Cashmere wool is obtained from a Cashmere goat. A common misconception today is that any “soft” fiber used is considered cashmere, but this is far from the truth. Cashmere wool, in fact, has extremely strict standards to fall within the cashmere category.

Cashmere sweaters are stunningly gorgeous and ultra soft. In addition, cashmere sweaters are great for making plus size sweaters because they act as comfort apparel and, of course, the softness is second to none.

Argyle Sweaters

Argyle sweaters have been popular since the 50s, and are a good example of a fashionable, evolving pattern. These versatile sweaters are not made of a particular material, but argyle is a pattern used on the sweater. At one time, argyle sweaters signified an upper class, but today, anyone who wants to look fashionable will find the argyle pattern beneficial to an entire apparel ensemble.

The argyle pattern consists of diamonds within a diagonal checkerboard pattern. The diamonds can be of any color, and often, the argyle sweater will have popular colors in today’s fashionable color schemes.

Today’s fashionable society understands the importance of sweaters as much as Julie Ann does. Sweaters come in all shapes, sizes, and fashions designed and developed with today’s busy woman in mind. Regardless of the apparel scheme for the day, there is a sweater to highlight the natural beauty of the woman in question.

All businesses, whether they are small, medium or large multi-national corporations use lighting, heating and air conditioning, power for computing /equipment and water. By taking the following steps at their facilities, businesses can significantly reduce their electricity, gas and water bills and protect the environment at the same time.

Install Efficient Light Bulbs

According to Energy Star, Energy Star qualified CFL bulbs consume about 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer, resulting in about $30 or more in energy savings over each bulb’s lifetime. Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs have come a long way in the last few years: their costs have dropped and there is a bulb for just about any application. Switching to CFLs is easy to implement and can yield a quick payback in savings.

Install Motion Sensors

Also known as Occupancy Sensors, they detect activity in areas where they are installed. They can automatically turn lights on and off by sensing motion. Motion sensors, can save on lighting costs. This is especially important for facilities with areas that are infrequently used such as warehouses.

Use Smart Power Strips

Smart Power Strips all you to monitor and manage computer and accessories power usage. Computers and peripherals such as printers, fax machines, monitors, copiers and hard drives suck up power even when they are not in use. Smart power strips can detect when these devices are in use or idle and can turn them off automatically. Smart power strips can save up to 72% of the power your systems use, and additionally provide surge protection.

Install Programmable Thermostats

Programmable Thermostats give you flexibility to adjust temperatures based on time of the day, seasonal changes and occupancy. For instance, in the winter time you can program the temperature to the lowest level that is comfortable for tenants, and in the summer time to the highest level that is tolerable. You can adjust the thermostat lower when there are fewer tenants in the building or even turn off the heating / air for a predetermined interval before close of business e.g. 30-60 minutes before close of business.

Install Lighting Timer Controls

Lighting Timer Controls are available for indoor and outdoor lighting. They can be programmed to automatically turn lights on and off based on a schedule. Solar Timer Controls can control outdoor lighting based on the time of sunrise and sunset for your location.

Water Efficiency

By installing water efficient fixtures, you can save thousands of gallons of water. Installing low flow toilets and urinals allows you to conserve a significant amount of water each day. Low flow Faucet aerators are cheap and easy to install and can achieve an immediate return on investment. If your facility has showers, consider replacing the standard showerheads with water saving showerheads such as water efficient a 1.5 gallon per minute showerhead.

You already know the value of your customers or members, but how are you communicating with them?

Email marketing is one of the most effective and affordable ways for a small business or organization to reach their customers and members. Here are some tips to help you market efficiently with Email Marketing:

1. Use your company or brand name in the “from” line, which tells recipients who sent the email.
2. Write a brief (six words or less is ideal) subject line that accurately represents the message’s major content. Longer subject lines are OK, just make sure each word is critical and the most important are in the first 50 characters – those that follow will get cut off in many email clients. Include the email’s title, if it has one (such as a newsletter title). If you can’t, then include your company, division or brand name in the “from” line. List it first here.
3. Keep HTML-format messages as simple as possible. The more gizmos you pack into an HTML message — superfluous images, graphics, sound or video — the more likely something won’t work on your recipients’ computers. Store rich-media content on the Web; limit image size and use colors that reflect your logo.
4. In HTML messages, use alt tags and support text around images so that readers whose email clients block images by default will still get the gist of your message. Many email clients will also block alt tags, so good use of text is key.
5. If you offer a text version (read why here), make sure the content includes links to all of your core functions and tasks. Don’t force readers to click to the Web version of your newsletter to receive its benefits or manage their subscriptions.
6. Load up on relevant links. If your goal is to funnel readers to your Web site, give them many access points, such as two or three order buttons sprinkled around a promo message instead of just one, or links to related information on your site. You’ve probably got a wealth of info at your site; make it easy for your readers to find it.
7. Lose the generic action button. Instead of “click here,” use descriptive terms such as “Order now!” or “subscribe me!” or “Get white paper here.” Be explicit about the actions you want users to take.
8. Test each email message before you send it, in different browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc.), email clients (Outlook, Lotus Notes, Gmail, Yahoo!) and platforms (Macintosh and PC). Click each link; watch out for oddities and inconsistencies in the way images load (or don’t load) and in text fonts and widths.
9. Adhere to your users’ preferences for frequency, format and content. If you keep sending promo offers to people who signed up just for the newsletter, you’ll lose them.
10. However, you can promote your other publications in your messages, as long as those promos don’t get in the way of the main content. For example, add a brief product offer at the end or side of a newsletter or announcement message, or list headlines from relevant news stories in a promotional-offer message. This way, you can promote other products and services without committing readers to extra emails.

As people become more anxious over the political and economic mood in the US right now, marketing is more important than ever. Reports show that despite worries, customers are STILL spending money in retail stores. In fact, this month, there has been the largest increase in retail sales since November of 2007.

People are being more picky these days, though, and it’s no wonder. When things are tight, they still want the best items, but they may be less willing to spend indiscriminately. So how can you, as a retailer of womens clothing, capture their attention and customer loyalty?

We’ve discussed how a web presence, and strong customer service can help you, but what about marketing? Are you calling your best customers to tell them when you have a sale or promotion going on? It’s a good idea to keep in close contact with the people who keep your store going. Do you have a strong brand identity, so that word of mouth will effectively spread the popularity of your store? Do you have print ads that will easily win out over the old newspaper ads, and inserts mass produced by big department stores?

It’s important to keep in touch. Make a list of ten or twenty excellent customers, and call them personally when you have a sale or promotion. They’ll feel special and included, and there’s a good chance they’ll buy.

Make a strong name for yourself. Prominently display the name of your shop or boutique on the storefront. Make a name and stick to it. Follow up with a business card or flyer, and slip it into every bag you send out of the store.

Most importantly, pay attention to print marketing! Newspapers constantly run ads that people looking for a deal might find, and the bigger stores always fill the morning mail with small pamphlets advertising sales and new products. How can you compete with this? It’s simple, actually.These ads and brochures are not targeting anyone in particular, but you can. Take down the addresses of customers when they have time to give them, and then send out your own beautiful postcard. Or better yet, let us do it all for you, and save your time for more important things in your store!

It was a sad weekend for the high fashion world. One of the founding designers of our century passed away at the age of 71 years old. Yves Saint Laurent, who retired from haute couture six years ago, has been plagued by health concerns for the past few years.

Laurent was born in Algeria in 1936, and studied under Christian Dior. He founded his own house of haute couture in the 1960’s. Later, he became synonymous with new trends and high fashion. His market expanded to Japan, and then to South Korea and Taiwan.

As a giant in the world of fashion, he will be sorely missed.
