JOOR BRAND COMMUNITY EVENT.  JOOR kicked off 2012 with a community event for our brand partners at The Startup Store. After Intermezzo wrapped up, 40 brands joined us for cocktails and conversation to unwind. Sipping on JOOR Juleps, we caught up with old friends and made new ones. And congratulations to Michele Cohen of Yigal Azrouel, winner of our Spa Giveaway raffle!

Check out more photos here.
 
Look forward to more in person meet-ups from JOOR this year. Interested in hosting one in your area? Let us know @jooraccess.
 
Big thank you to @rachelshechtman and her fabulous team for featuring JOOR at The Startup Store this month.

It’s All About Relationships - When Doing Business with Boutiques Specialty retailers can be valuable partners, but it doesn’t happen overnight.  “It’s critical to have a strong sales team that is knowledgeable and curious and willing to do the research,” says Jennifer Mankins owner of Bird in Brooklyn.  “Nothing is worse than an email to the wrong name or saying ‘it’s perfect for your store’ and it’s not.”  Buyers expect a personal touch and a true collaborator who can be flexible and recognize that boutiques can be invaluable in building your brand for the long term with consumers.
