Adam Bain
You know how Fashion Houses have been
losing the connection with consumers on an
emotional level? Well, what I do is take what the
consumer wants and turn it into a need. In fact over my time
in retail I’ve came across just about every consumer from every walk of
life. Listening and not only that but creating a relatable window.
Previous employers as well as clients have always helped with leaving
great surveys and emails that has aligned with stores I’ve over seen
either land on target or push pass a 15% increase for the year.
