On Trend: Women's Spring 2025 Fashion Trend Report

A sustainable fashion industry. Consumers want it, and our planet needs it. But how do brands balance the environmental and ethical demands of a movement so often referred to as ‘slow fashion,’ with consumers’ ever-increasing expectations for speed, personalization, and convenience? Not to mention the intense financial pressures of recovery from the health crisis? Although it might seem counterintuitive, a mainstream sustainable business model can happen. It just requires digital transformation.

Wholesale has an inventory problem. And yes we know, that’s not exactly news. Even prior to COVID-19, UBS noted inventory growth for apparel, footwear and accessories had outpaced sales growth for four quarters running. What to do?

The experience of 2020 has taught us the real possibility of extreme economic and social shock. No one anticipated the health crisis or its comprehensive disruption of the apparel industry. 

“There is often an assumption that ‘sustainable’ can’t live in mainstream fashion. JOOR helped us break into the wholesale space in such a way that we can compete with ‘normal’ brands and truly go mainstream. That’s a good thing for Tribe Alive--and a good sign for fashion in general.” -- Hannah Paul, Brand Development Associate, Sales and Ethics, Tribe Alive.

As the industry-leading fashion wholesale platform, JOOR digitizes the entire wholesale process, providing a smoother buying experience for retailers and unparalleled efficiency for brands. Dive into our latest blog to learn more about JOOR's pricing structure.

When it comes to digital, ‘reimagining’ is the name of the game. When eCommerce first gained traction, web designers did not recreate the experience of browsing through physical aisles in a department store. Instead, they capitalized on the unique possibilities of the internet ‘storefront’ to engage and convert. 

As your partner for smooth, smart wholesale technology, we pride ourselves on making the JOOR platform intuitive and easy-to-use. And we want to make sure your support experience goes just as smoothly. 

Brands and retailers are similar in nature when it comes to the role upselling plays. While providing outstanding customer service and producing quality products is certainly important, it’s the sometimes-forgotten art of the upsell that remains a key priority for any and all wholesalers.

Industry-wide sales data from analysts and trade groups can certainly paint the big picture. But don’t you wish you could dig a little deeper, and understand the real ‘what’ and ‘how’ behind the bird’s eye view?
