In a single transaction, we metered the product over a nine month period to make sure the market would not be flooded with inventory. Apparel Trading Strategies Apparel manufacturers can take advantage of the full range of Active's services. Some clients have traded very large inventories to Active in exchange for up to full value in trade credits. Besides the media, goods and services that Active can acquire through its established providers, Active can work with the client's vendors to convince them to accept trade credits as part payment. In order to establish such vendor linkages, Active will create vendor incentives and explain how accepting trade credits results in incremental business, maintaining their relationship with the client and higher profits for them.
Clients can use their trade credits to implement their media plans.
At the same time, they can be using credits to offset the cash cost of many of the goods and services they need to operate their businesses. What's more, by insuring the trade credits, the client is assured that they and their participating vendors will receive the agreed upon value for the trade credits. Active is the only company able to insure its trade credits through third party insurers. It makes Active trade credits a valued and valuable currency. Serving Apparel Apparel manufacturers have a series of challenges that make them excellent candidates for corporate trading transactions.
