Way OT; Wholesale Clothes

[Raybyrnes]

The Uniform business is completely relationship based. Coaches are given so many freebies by reps that it would be difficult to get them to switch. Unless you have a tight relationship with 10 to 20 athletic directors I would choose another business.

Ray I could not agree with you more. I have told this friend about that. His response was such that first off it does not hurt to perform your own diligence and second that if people ran away of new challenges. No new businesses would be established. Additionally according to him alternate targets exist for lower end consumers such as rec leagues etc, that do not get the attention of reps.

Thanks sdr and Allan… sdr I have to admit knowing what I do not know which is MOT… sorry but it flew over my head…

When I see MOT, especially in all caps, I think of Motorola :-).

SDR,

Don’t know if this helps, but I have about and few friends that own factories in china that supply clothing wholesale. Some are hurting some are not.

Friend #1 supplies to discount stores (cheap stuff) like to Walmart, Dress Barn, Ross, Mervin’s etc. While he did pretty well over the years, he’s mentioned that in this downturn, it’s taking hit, as several of these retailers are going under. He had orders filled and holding company’s deposits, and now figuring out what to do with all the excess inventory.

Friend #2, on the other hand, supplies children clothing to children’s speciality chain stores (can’t name names) since it’s one of the bigger labels. While sales appear lower, it’s holding up pretty well. Seems like despite the downturn, people are still willing to spend money on kids.

Seems from their discussions this is completely a relationship business on who you know all the up and down from the buyers to the suppliers.

Don’t know about the uniform business, it seems like a niche market. In this space, you probably have to play in a niche market to survive in retail (and need to play in the correct niche market).
