Hi there ! English is one of the most tough market for fabrics / garments. Please try picking the right color & a visit to UK during the show at NEC (Birmingham) will be the best way to develop contacts.\n\nMake an appointment at British High COmmission, new Delhi & they will provide u with more Uk stats.\n\nKeep in mind that Uk is very price sensative n normally perfers peach-ish colors ! Though the Londoniers luv all black outfit !!!!!!!\n\nTry co-ordinating for a buyer seller meet organized under Export promotion Councils n m sure it will be quite economical as well as effective. You might get an MDA grant of almost 90 % of your expense if you are under 10 Cr (indian Rs) company & u visit UK under BSM progaram.\n\nLet me know if u require any other info. \n\nCheers ... God Bless

Buyers for the large retailers are who you'll need to talk to but its premature to talk to buyers.  The clothing industry is extremely competitive.  If you are into the mass market the only chance is to have them made overseas.  Find a production source in Taiwan, India, Pakistan etc (possibly Mexico).  Then you are talking large minimum orders and long lead times both of which cost you money.  Specialty shops would be the place for high end, one of a kind items and it would be an easier market to penetrate than the huge retailers. Good luck and get out your check book.

You've got two issues here; let's tackle them one at a time.\n\nRe: Trademarks\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nTo register a trademark, contact either your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent & Trademark Office for a Federal trademark. \n\nIf you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct business in at least 2 states OR between the US & any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.\n\nI posted some handy links for you below.\n\nRe: Clothing Line\n\nThe clothing industry, as you can well imagine, is a very competitive one. To succeed takes knowledge, patience, talent and a bit of luck.  As far as the knowledge bit goes, I found some sources that will assist you further.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have about the clothing industry as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nThere's nothing quite like research – the more you know about the clothing industry, the better. There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nAlso, here are some book titles that may interest you:\n\n* The Official Step-by-Step Guide to Starting a Clothing Line by Jay Arrington,\n* The Business of Fashion: Designing, Manufacturing, and Marketing by Leslie Davis Burns\n* Fashion for Profit (Revised Edition with Retail Chapter) by Frances Harder\n* The Fashion Designer Survival Guide: An Insider's Look at Starting and Running Your Own Fashion Business by Mary Gehlhar\n\nLaunching a Product book titles:\n* New Product Launch: 10 Proven Strategies by Joan Schneider, Jeanne Yocum\n* Winning at New Products: Accelerating the Process from Idea to Launch by Robert G. Cooper\n* Launch It!: How to Turn Good Ideas Into Great Products That Sell by Molly Miller-Davidson\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Very simple. You can find sites which offer B2B exchanges. In India we have something called www.indiamart.com. and if there is good traffic, you will get some good leads. You can use their email lists as well to promote yourself. Alternatively, you can join professional groups (yahoo groups types) and mail to each member in the group.

You can try Craigs List... www.craigslist.org \nI dont know why you are only asking for Designers in the U.K\nWeb designing is something that anyone can do for you, in any part of the world. By limiting yourself to designers only in the U.K, you are also sort of putting a block on creativity, many american and asian webdesigners incorporate cultural elements that may help your website. I design websites but not on a proffesional level.\nYou may want to try Craigslist and go through it. Web designing is pretty easy to supervise online especially if the person designing your website is overseas- alot of companies offer an escrow like system- if you dont like the website- the designer doesnt get paid, and like wise you dont get the source files etc.\n\nPayment is usually negotiated using online paysites such as paypal which are totally safe and protect you from fraud.

"How long is a piece of string?"\n\nWell really you could expect to pay from £10 per hour up to £60! Generally you do get what you pay for. If you are looking for a designer, take a look at their previous work and make sure they have the talent you need.\n\nIf you do decide to go ahead, you may want to get a project based price (i.e.: they agree to do your work for a fixed price - which cannot go up).\n\nGet it all in a contract!\n\nStewart

If in UK. Consult a Independent Financial Adviser. The first interview is free they can survey the entire market place and get you the best deal for you. Just put in IFA and the area you live in to your tool bar and it will give you a list of people to contact. Some of the best companies only deal through independents

best bet is to find a company in your area that does this on an outsourced basis for US/UK companies.\n\nbe careful you don't find a scam - most real companies that would do this would go through an outsourced vendor, not recruit random individuals via the internet.

I would say: Get on the internet and find UK sources of the type of business you want to deal with. Email them directly with your resume. I would make sure you have long distance to call them. I would also make sure you know the cost for a minute of conversation to the UK....IT is very very expensive. I know for I have been there several times. Make sure you write everything down, internet websites that you have gone too and make sure that you have your "selling hat" on. A positive attitude is the key. GOOD LUCK!
