Occupy Fashion - Fashioning It BKStyle! At Arts & Culture Fest: Internet Week New York http://j.mp/Jqs71a

Why  consumers keep asking for great clothing... that fit and are their within budget!

I have freely spoken on how to start  a fashion business- There are countless books and seminars available freely or at great  cost  online and offline! Let me ask you 

So how to deferentiate  your consumer from the customer and what separates one success story  from another... Simple;-.

Execution

Has the  person  giving the worksop actually started a line and sold ... In your sector 

Execution

Telling  you what  to do and showing you how makes a lot of difference...

Execution

Your reading and doing the task  makes a HUGE difference!

In teh end success depends on your ability to execute!

got  questions ASK Me...act-  submit   at  http://www.bonniedandy.com/occupyfashion

Execute- act- 

so can  you really  make a profit ... in less than  7 days

That's a math and strategy  question

Keep  cost  down while increasing what  you bring in... but  I'll give you 14-21 day... if you Execute as directed

oh that's teh other part... 

it's hard for artist  to take directions... 

what you need to do vs what you  or "I want" 

The  dress in the  Image is my Handkerchief Dress- I tell the story of going from a  2yds of fabric to an "investor' and sales in  3 days... without PR, without advertising (this was before social media- the digital version)!  I've seen this repeated  in the last  few years ... When the designer executes it's a beatiful  feeling: When she does not and disapponts a store owner, looses a supporter it's sa tragedy!  So why  will anyone NOT  sell Through! Seemingly purposely  setting themselves up to fail! 

Selling or rather creating  a product that is easy to sell  takes a number careful consideration and the abiility to make the right choices and execute! It's about .. NAd this is what we show you " how to execute"-
