This is the route to market for brands who want to ensure they stay Cruelty free as there is NO animal testing involved! This is explained more in the course.
So what is so special about this course?
There is nothing like it on the market. WHY?
Because the people who hold all the information are service providers - platforms, distributors, trade partners, agencies, shipping agents etc and they don't have a strong interest in giving you the full picture before you sign up with them.
And this guide is dedicated to BEAUTY.
I have worked with all these players through my clients first hand and have a robust understanding of the different routes to market, costs and pitfalls.
It was such a maze to navigate and people trip up so often I wanted to put this course together to take that anxiety out of the process.
The course is broken down and covers the following all important areas:
1. What is CBEC & what platforms can you sell through - advantage and disadvantages of each
2. A specific deep dive into TMALL - as the best known platform
3. A detailed look at LOGISTICS and SHIPPING - how this needs to be set up, costs, paperwork and taxation involved.
4. What you need to know about your target CONSUMER and how/where to build brand AWARENESS
5. Key ADVICE and NEXT STEPS - helping you answer key questions like do you need your own website? Is Tmall the best option? What sort of budget do I need to put aside? How long will it take me to make a profit....?
It also includes downloadable cheat sheets on Platforms, Retail models, Shipping Channels and costs.
I will also keep you up to date on the latest changes to the policy on ANIMAL TESTING.
