The thought that there is so much risk in selling to a clothing company is something new to me. I thought that it was simple. That the clothing store needs more clothes, so a company will send it to them, easy. Well, not so much. I learned that it's about predicting trends and how much the store will sell, and if the store will need more or less. It takes a lot of planning and predicting to be able to get your sales down pact and with out major losses and mistakes. Apparently, three clothing companies have got it down to a tee. The company 'Zara' has a system of getting clothes to their headquarters and shipping it to the stores in an extremely timely fashion. The company H&M has a hold on predicting trends and emerging styles. The last company Uniqlo has gotten good at learning the customers preferences. All three are very successful and have their methods down pact.
