The phenomenal growth of the outlet sector reflects the significance and relevance of a new distribution channel for the fashion-focused industries. As its effectiveness and popularity have swept eastwards from the US, through the UK, Western Europe and into the Continent, new countries, regions, local markets and demographics have been opened up.
FASHION HOUSE Group has a proven track record in opening up and dominating the outlet sector within CEE markets (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia). The Company managed to achieve its excellent position by implementing a life-cycle strategy, which includes such stages as: planning and construction of new outlet centres, followed by leasing and operational management services.
New consumer markets represent business opportunity and profit potential for manufacturers, distributors and retailers of fashion-based goods. In today’s economic conditions, many companies actively seek incremental revenue flows within their business remit. For most, entering new sectors, or territories, with their existing capabilities is a realistic chance of development, although carrying some risk. The outlet sector specialiation offered by FASHION HOUSE Group can reduce that risk and make these new outlet markets easier to access and exploit.
