Distribution
For our range, we will be sourcing directly from the supplier; this will give
us as much control over our orders, the quality and final outcome of each of
our garments. It will also give us more control in ensuring that the product
arrives on time for our customers to enjoy.
This means much more hard work and effort on our end, but it’s important and
will be worth our time. In the future, when profits become more consistent,
we’d like to look into opening a UK factory or sourcing from within the UK.
This will mean much easier communication, less pollution through various
transportation methods and will also give a more authentic feel to our
products for our UK customers.
For our Indian
transportation
limited to how
multiple ports
and Chinese products, we are confident that the best method of
will be sea-freight; this is a cheap method, we are not
many items we can transport at once, it can be transferred to
around the world and it is a secure and safe method.
For our Turkish products, we have chosen to deliver through land-freight;
this is also cheap (both methods are cheaper than air- freight), quicker
deliveries are possible and most importantly it is the most environmentally
friendly option, especially travelling by lorry or train.
