The Apparel Bootcamp: Lessons for Survival and Success in the Fashion Business

Are you "spinning your wheels" and going nowhere fast? Are you ready to launch your new venture but don't know how to run the business side of the company?

In the highly volatile, fast moving apparel industry, the reality is that the strong survive while the weak get eaten. As a small manufacturer you are faced with too little capital, too few sales, and too little time to do too many tasks. Like a tightrope walker, you're one mistake away from disaster.

The course will be a combination of lectures, group discussions, reading assignments, and Q & A sessions. Course participants will look at different aspects of the apparel industry each week and will be provided with techniques, strategies, and information that they can use to become more profitable, produce a better product, and sell more units. Among the topics to be covered are:

* Management (size, functions, expertise)

* Market Analysis (what to produce, for whom, at what price)

* Competition (product comparisons, distribution channels)

* Marketing Strategies (goals, tactics, timing, cost)

* Financial Projections (expenses, profit margins, sales volumes)
