Want to make the most of your investment?

Get Ready for Market: Essential Prep for Fashion Tradeshow Success

Getting ready for a fashion market week or trade show goes beyond packing samples—it’s about smart planning and leveraging technology. With enough preparation and the right tools, you can walk away from market week fulfilled and ready for growth. Here’s how to get market-ready with strategic prep, wholesale tools, and digital solutions:

• Schedule Buyer Appointments Early: Don’t wait for buyers to come to you—start setting up meetings as soon as possible. Proactively reach out to your key accounts via emails, calls, and digital invites to get on their radar and secure appointments before market week.
• Prepare Digital Line Sheets & Visual Assets: Buyers expect quick, easy access to your product info and brand story. Make sure your wholesale line sheets (organized by season: Spring/Summer, Fall/Winter, Holiday, Resort), lookbooks, and press kits are up-to-date and readily available. Use digital line sheets or a tablet-based catalog to showcase your collection—modern wholesale platforms like AIMS360 RemoteLink fashion software, JOOR, NuOrder, Brandboom, or Repspark can enable direct ordering and minimize paperwork.
• Ensure Apparel ERP & Inventory are Market-Ready: Success at a fashion market starts with having your new products entered in your AIMS360 fashion ERP software system and inventory up to date. When your inventory management and wholesale order tools are in sync, order processing is faster and stock visibility is real-time.
• Leverage Digital Order-Taking Tools: Digital order apps or iPad-based wholesale order tools eliminate manual errors and help you take orders even without Wi-Fi. Using AIMS360 RemoteLink apparel ERP software or similar, you can capture every order digitally—even process deposits—and have instant records that sync with your ERP when you’re back online.

• Social Media: Instagram or TikTok with real customer imagery and influencer content.
• Wholesale portal/digital line sheet: Via JOOR, NuOrder, Brandboom, Repspark, or AIMS360 RemoteLink fashion software, always organized by season with ship windows.

AIMS360 RemoteLink: Next-Level Booth Sales

Your booth tech toolkit should include AIMS360 RemoteLink fashion software on iPad:

• Works fully offline—orders, inventory, and line sheets are accessible even if Wi-Fi is down.
• Buyers see in real-time what’s in stock, in production, and in WIP—critical for wholesale confidence.

Why Wholesale & B2B Matter

1. Big orders: Wholesale orders often rival or exceed monthly e-commerce sales.
2. Market reach: Retailers spread your brand geographically and demographically.
3. Consistent revenue: Recurring boutique orders smooth cash flow and production.
4. Credibility boost: Getting into Nordstrom or Anthropologie validates your brand.
5. Customer feedback: Direct insight from store buyers on fit, pricing, and trends.

Why You Need to Be EDI & Dropship Ready

• EDI is mandatory for major retailers—it replaces paperwork with automated transactions. Without it, many buyers—including those from Nordstrom, who are leaders in Nordstrom dropshipping—won’t even consider you.
• EDI dropship allows you to ship direct-to-customer for retailers’ endless-aisle programs and omnichannel expansion.
• With AIMS360 fashion ERP software and other top apparel ERP platforms: Full EDI and dropship compliance is included.
