Working to promote your corporate fundraising event
With the chief executive of Next warning that the price of fashion wear will potentially increase by 10% next autumn it is worth considering the way you are going to look fashionable in the next year. Because of the fall in the value of sterling it will mean the price of bringing fashion clothing into the country a lot greater in the next year as most new fashion wear is sold in dollars and is brought in from Asia.
Sourcing for fashion wear has moved to countries like China, Bangladesh and Vietnam due to their reduced labour prices but this appears to have had a harsh impact for many big labels as with the falling price of sterling, the exchange rate of sterling with dollars has dropped by 15%. Lots of fashion shop owners will have problems passing on inflated prices as shoppers are potentially going to be a great deal more precious with their cash and may choose to save rather than spend unless insentives are their to purchase fashion products.
Enterprising businesses have been running fashion show fundraising events where you can purchase original labelled fashion wear with up to 50% off the actual retail price. They are sold as slightly imperfect even though most are not seconds but over-runs or end of lines. These Fundraising events allow people benefit a good cause of their choice, and purchase a choice of labelled clothing at knocked down rates.
Personally I think it will do people good to discover alternative ways of putting their hands on fashion wear. So maybe if you have a Corporate Fundraising Event or village hall fundraising event you could get in a fashion show fundraiser, make shopping a fun event and save yourself some money at the same time.
