Tallinn Creative Incubator invites all design-makers to an online webinar to explore alternative ways to present and sell their products abroad without involving retailers.
Within two hours we will learn about how to visit and participate in international design markets, pop-up events and showrooms for selling fashion, accessories and home decoration.
As retailers prefer well- known brands, ecommerce development requires remarkable investments and the market itself is very competitive, it can be challenging for young design- makers to enter new markets and grow internationally. Let’s see if there are some other ways to face those challenges!
