After getting back to New York there was more work to do, follow up is very important in this industry. We had to reach out to everyone we met so we can keep the lines of communication open. There was alot of emailing to be done, but we were happy to do it.
Now we had to look forward and strategize our next step!
A couple of weeks after we got back from market we were contacted by a rep we had met at market. She has a showroom there in the Dallas market center where we were showing our collection. She viewed our collection at the show and was interested in possibly carrying our line in her showroom. She was going to be going to LA for a week and was going to be meeting with Neiman Marcus upon returning to Dallas. She was contacting us because she would like to present the collection to Neiman's, of course we were quite excited at this opportunity and decided to jump on it. We quickly set about getting the collection ready to ship back to Dallas for the meeting. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the best outcome, the collection has not been presented yet, but the preliminary comments about the collection are very promising!
We sent the collection out on a Thursday evening so it would be in Dallas in time for the meeting. The next morning we received another email from the assistant buyer from Intermix! She said she had heard about our collection through the grapevine and wanted to see any info and price sheets asap! Again, we were on the move to get everything together and get it to her, no resting on your keister at times like these. They contacted us a few days later and were interested in seeing some of the samples we had. Obviously we are keeping our hopes up for the best outcome. In any case, they have now seen our collection and are aware of our existence.
