COPENHAGEN!

Soooo at the weekend, it was my friend's 21st birthday so we had a weekend away in Copenhagen and upon coming back to work at Emslie I wrote a little blog for Emslie Creative talking about my experiences and the best places to go etc. 

Give it a read!

FINDING NEW STORES: SALES

Today I spent the day searching for potential stores which our brands can potentially be in. Amber specifically asked for stores up north as one of our brands Elle Zeitoune is an occassionwear brand and the brand identity suits consumers up north. I also searched for mens stores that would benefit from stocking Matt & Nat. 

I created an excel spreadsheet clearly showing the store location, name of the store, the brand that would suit the store and a contact number. Following from the spreadsheet, Katherine would go on to look through the list and choose stores to pitch our brands too. 

If successful, we would offer to meet for a coffee and a chat to discuss the brands in more depth and the stores would then decide if the brand is suitable for them.

WRITING A DOCKET

Before starting my internship, I had no idea what a docket was within PR. A docket is a written up agreement between emslie creative and whoever is borrowing our brands products. Throughout the week, we constantly contact fashion bloggers and celebrities to wear our brands so they can be photographed and seen wearing them to generate sales. Fashion bloggers also tend to upload pictures of the products onto instagram and tag the brand so that when people look at the picture they can easily see who the brand is and would potentially buy products.

CREATING ALERTS!

This week at my internship with Emslie I learnt how to create alerts. Alerts are almost like gift guides that show case new products and usually have a theme or story. The alerts are usually sent to press & media, so they are aware of new products which our brands are selling. My first alert was for our client ‘bambah’. I had to create a SS17 alert which included their new collection. 



Since creating my first alert, I have gone on to complete a number of alerts for not only just one client but combining clients on one alert.

THE SHOWROOM


The Showroom located above a sex shop in Hoxton Square is a really cute open space and gives brands a chance to present their collections for the season. We regularly get bloggers and stylists visiting the showroom borrowing garments needed for events or photoshoots.
