We’ve planned a stellar lineup for our 3rd annual event (hint... @voguemagazine) but we need your help to get them here. Proceeds from our summer party will go towards our phenomenal 2019 lineup and support the SFF as we continue to bring events and workshops focused on ethical and sustainable fashion to the Portland market. ⁣ ⁣ Let’s party!

The definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. If you want different results you have to try a different approach. It’s that simple. ⁣ ⁣ If you’ve been marketing your business in the same way for years and you feel like you aren’t moving forward, you aren’t attracting more customers, making more sales, etc — its time to try a different approach. ⁣ ⁣ Don't run your business the same in 2018 as you did in 2017 expecting things to finally take off. ⁣ ⁣ Switch it up — make strategic changes in your marketing, PR and sales strategy and see what happens.

Strategic Partnerships are all about partnering with people and brands whose values and goals align with your own for long-term success. ✖️ ✖️ How do you create strategic partnerships or approach someone (especially someone with way more experience than you or a much stronger brand presence)? That's exactly what we’ll be teaching May 20th at our Brand Partnerships 101 Workshop at @pdxapparellab! ✖️ ✖️ From developing and sending your pitch, to negotiating the value and getting a YES, this in-person workshop will cover the basics of building and cultivating relationships with companies and brands. #linkinbio
