Dow Jones Description
We facilitate strategies for our clients that dramatically increase profitability. The Cherokee Group has relationships with the largest retailers around the world and create domestic and international licensing opportunities. Through the formulation of licensing agreements with major partners globally, we bring brands and retailers together to capitalize on highly profitable licensing opportunities. Our proven brand licensing formulas enhance profits, offer flexible sourcing options, and provide for exclusive product offerings more effectively than conventional methods. For retailers, direct retail licensing benefits are tremendous: better control over product development and sourcing, higher margins, faster turns, and exclusive use of a brand name with real brand equity. For brand owners, we maximize the equity of established brands and make them more profitable. Our licensing formula allows brand owners to increase market share without added expense. No more concerns about production and inventory, while achieving increased profits. Currently, Cherokee has licensing agreements in a number of categories, including family apparel, fashion accessories and footwear, as well as home furnishings and recreational products. ...
