Giordano has been a pioneer in successfully developing retail in emerging markets.  The company has boldly gone into markets where few others would dare to go. 

 

The Hong Kong-based brand has established itself as the go-to retailer for high quality casualwear and has won a loyal following in markets from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, as well as in Africa, South Asia and of course China.

 

Now, when other brands are just starting to enter new markets, Giordano already has years of hands on expertise in most of these markets.

 

Mark Loynd, Executive Director, will share what Giordano has learned during nearly three decades of building their global retail network. 

 

• Learn what's working (and what's not). 


• Understand the subtle difference in each market that make a big difference in terms of succeeding at retail. 


• Find out which markets are growing - and why.

 

If you are even considering expanding into new markets, then this is a 'must attend' seminar.
