Testa Marketing

Industry

Fashion, footwear and design

The trend runs two seasons ahead of the sale.

Discuss my case

Fashion, footwear, accessories and product design brands. The difficulty is one of calendar: the collection has to be decided long before anyone knows whether the market will want it. Trend research and product testing reduce that risk, and fit and sizing studies avoid the silent cost of returns.

What this industry is up against

01

The collection is decided two seasons in advance.

02

Stated taste and actual purchase diverge more than in other categories.

03

Size-driven returns erode margin without ever surfacing as a product problem.

04

The brand competes with resale and counterfeits in the same channel.
