Hey there! I heard Twitter helped your business grow. Did you return the favour?

Posted in Events, Social Media, tagged , , , on March 11, 2011| Leave a Comment »

You have seen many posts telling you “Why Your Business Needs Social Media” but let me take this opportunity to tell you why Social Media needs your business and how you can help.

  • How many of you have created leads for your business using Twitter/Facebook and other social pages?
  • How many clients have you created a personal relationship with because of your interaction with them on various social media sites?
  • How many times have you thanked social media for giving you the most up-to-date information about your competitors and helped you step up your own act?
  • How many compliments have you got from your clients for always being online and available for them, because of social media?

If you have answered yes to at least one of the questions above- Have you thought of how you can pay-back?

Social media is free and available to all but it’s all a give and take. You cannot expect to keep receiving from it if you don’t initiate a “giving” from your end too.

Twestival (or Twitter festival) Melbourne 2011 is your chance to give back to the community. The Twestival is a great night to network with like-minded social media advocates over some drinks and bid for some cool goodies in a public and silent auction. This is your chance to let the community know that your business is social-media savvy and ready to go an extra length for the community.

This year Melbourne Twestival is raising money for STREAT, an Australian social enterprise providing homeless youth with a supported pathway to long-term careers in the hospitality industry. STREAT runs street cafes in Melbourne where youth get their hospitality training. The food is inspired by street hawker food from around the world. More information about them here

By being part of the Melbourne Twestival you can make a real difference to the lives and livelihood of someone currently living on the street.

The Twestival organized for Melbourne will be held at the STREAT offices on Thursday evening 6-9pm on March 24. We encourage you and/your business to be a part of the Melbourne twitter community and raise awareness and worthy funds for this project. Get your tickets here

Think of all the support and connections you have in the Twitter community, now is the time to reach out to your local community and give them some support

To find out how your business can be a part of this great initiative and to keep updated with the latest news before the 24th March, tweet us on Twitter @TwestivalMel or join us on facebook here

So Ethic, The heart of fashion at Pret A Porter, Paris

Posted in Events on December 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »

PRET A PORTER PARIS® in Paris as a primary show, and special trade shows for different markets, with ATMOSPHERE’S for creators and designers, THE BOX for high-fantasy accessories, SO ETHIC for Ethical and eco-friendly fashion, THE TRAIN in New York and LIVING ROOM in Tokyo.

With its brand spreading out internationally, its attraction grows as a “fashion traffic point”.


They are the two main focuses of this essential sector. 
Ethical, fair trade and recycling, use of organic materials…

So Ethic is the window for fashion brands which specialise in sustainable approaches. All the future trends are there, in a committed, demanding, highly fashionable selection. It is now an essential stopover for buyers from specialist stores, multi-branded retailers, mixed concept stores and also department stores.

Choosing a media “show”

The “fashion event/salon” which offers direct contact with your clients, your future clients, trendsetters and journalists. The cost per contact is the least expensive of all the medias (radio/TV/posters/cinema/Internet) and allows for an immediate return on investment. It’s also a source for enrichment, knowledge and inspiration through meeting with others.

Putting your brand in the spotlight

By showing off its universe, its history, its people and designers to make you stand out, and attract buyers looking for something new.

Benefiting from the international recognition of the leading international fashion rendezvous

All the creative brands of today ( Isabel Marant Etoile, Paul&Joe, Tara Jarmon, Vanessa Bruno, Antik Batik, By Malene Birger, Blaak, Heimstone, Jerôme Dreyfuss, Save the Queen, Nathalie Garçon, …..) and references in the female market ( Derhy, Lilith, Didier Parakian, Garella, Fuego, Infinif, …) launched themselves at PRET A PORTER PARIS®.

Obtaining financial assistance: the defi subsidy

Paris offers an international resonance and important media coverage. PRET A PORTER PARIS® welcomes more than 1100 journalists. You can keep them informed with your press kits made available to them in the press office, or present them with your leading silhouettes in the trends forum, or live during the catwalk shows.

You have the possibility of applying to DEFI for financial assistance with your participation at the PRET A PORTER PARIS, ATMOSPHERE and THE BOX salons. This subsidy is aimed primarily at exporting companies, creative startup companies and French fashion companies.

This assistance may amount to as much as 75% of eligible expenditure involved in the participation of the salons (space rental, decoration, communication, fashion shows, etc.)
