11 Introduction Made in Italy: dangers and opportunities So many entrepreneurs and retailers worldwide long for selling Made in Italy products, as they embody the highest quality standards in the world in those industries commonly referred to as the three Fs: Food Furniture Fashion Companies selling Made in Italy products benefit from their reputation, brand recognition and profitability. Reputation For ages, Made in Italy s industrially-produced and handcrafted products have been considered among the best in the world for quality, aesthetics and taste. The concept of Made in Italy, in fact, grew from the world-renowned Italian
12 XVI Introduction supremacy in art history and craftsmanship. Most European and Western cultural heritage is Italian: Giotto, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Canova, Palladio, Raffaello, Tiziano, to name a few, are among the greatest Italian artists who, for centuries, revolutionized and deeply influenced international art. Needless to mention, the largest and most articulate civilization in the world that produced millennial monuments and artwork was the Roman Empire. Brand recognition Italian brands are well-known and desirable around the globe. Companies that choose to market Italian brands have a greater return on sales with lower marketing costs in terms of percentage because these companies are able to save money on advertising and sponsorships. The richest and wealthiest consumers worldwide are aware of Italian brands and Made in Italy products. The launch of these products on the market does not need an expensive campaign and their advertising efforts prove to be more effective when compared to the advertising investments of other similar products. Profitability A Made in Italy branded product typically commands a higher retail price - with proportionate margins - when compared to other products offering the same level of quality, taste and function.
13 Introduction XVII Greater profits can be made with Made in Italy products because they typically grant greater commercial and operational margins. In the fashion business, for instance, sales experience shows that once a customer tries a Made in Italy product, the chances of him/her buying it increase exponentially. Made in Italy fashion products are in fact the world s top sellers and therefore they are more likely to be imitated. Moneymaking and hidden dangers As President Kennedy quoted in 1959, When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters: one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. In other words, where there is opportunity, there is also danger. Making money requires expertise and close attention to hidden dangers. This is especially important in the mining industry, and in the art, antiques and luxury collectibles business. In both art and antiques, trading in precious products ensures profit as long as the actual market value of the pieces is guaranteed by experts and trustworthy sources. Watch out for imitations This book outlines the most relevant issues that a non- European entrepreneur - most likely American, Chinese, Japanese and Indian - may encounter when searching the European market for authentic Made in Italy products to
14 XVIII Introduction resell in his domestic market. It is quite well known that both the European and the Italian markets are extremely intricate and abound with language and regulatory norms, as well as surprisingly diverse national and local habits and culture. Additionally, dealing in Made in Italy products exposes entrepreneurs to stolen, counterfeit or imitation goods. Even employees of Made in Italy s manufacturers often cannot recognize fakes. How to communicate with Italians Europeans tend to have their own unique habits and they often have trouble establishing business relationships with businessmen from the Middle East, Far East and Southern hemisphere. Even businessmen from young countries having strong bonds with European countries, like Australia or New Zealand, may have a hard time getting to know and do business with a European businessman. Italians probably have more peculiarities and idiosyncrasies than the rest of Europeans. It is therefore essential for people coming from historically relevant yet traditionally different countries to identify all the potential tricks that doing business in Italy requires. First, stay out of trouble The following is a list of problems that a good local agent will prevent you from facing, and will probably turn into opportunities:
15 Introduction XIX Counterfeit goods Made in Italy products are the most imitated worldwide because they tend to be marketed at premium prices everywhere. It is therefore necessary to be able to recognize counterfeits from originals, including fake originals. Fake originals Made in Italy products may be legally manufactured by licensors whose production process is compliant with the original product specifications. In some cases, to unlawfully increase profits, these licensors may decide to allocate extra production efforts to supply the black market. Non-experts can hardly recognize counterfeits and may run into serious legal problems in case of an imprudent purchase. Illegal originals In a similar way to the previously-described case, goods are produced using original raw materials and accessories, yet forego any of the manufacturer s procedures or authorizations. It is the case of stolen materials or accessories. It may be the case of original materials and accessories that are legally bought and traded on the market related to a certain production, but end up being used to produce goods having a completely different business purpose. For example, sail cloth is used in the sailing industry. However, it happens to be used by handbag manufacturers. Counterfeiters can attempt to buy sailcloth produced for the sail industry to illegally produce fake sailcloth handbags. Stolen goods Not only is this the most obvious illegal practice but it is also the most dangerous in terms of legal and financial
16 XX Introduction exposure: if stolen goods are detected at Customs, one risks being involved in a penal offense. As with the aforementioned cases, when caught red-handed, people risk being barred from traveling in Italy or elsewhere in Europe. Besides losing any advance payments, associated legal problems may arise. Originals ordered but imitations delivered This happens as well: buyers visit manufacturers warehouses, inspect products and ultimately issue orders for specific quantities. Later on, and far away from the warehouse, lower quality goods are substituted, in full or in part, for the originally ordered products. Sometimes the efforts and costs of returning the goods are too high. Buyers are thus forced to accept the damage with no repercussion to the seller, unless appropriate contract clauses were included to protect them from such risks. Non-existent brands When buyers are unfamiliar with Made in Italy products, they may be misled by fake brands: brands that do not exist as they do not correspond to any real fashion designer. In both this case and in the previously-mentioned case, legal protection is jeopardized once a contract is signed: from a legal point of view, a valid contract does not prevent buyers from paying for Zucci bags at Gucci prices. Authentic but outdated branded goods A bargain is buying a particular brand for less than its market price; however, if the market price is paid for outdated branded goods, it is a swindle and may lead to a loss. Expired goods In case of food products, receiving stock whose expiration date is near or even past may not imply food-related problems
17 Introduction XXI - as expiration dates happen to be extremely conservative - but rather great commercial problems, especially when products are expensive. Watch out for driver-translators A number of foreign entrepreneurs think that a good local translator is sufficient to get to know about Italian products. A driver-translator is someone who is a local and thus knows the surroundings, can drive, speak Italian and simultaneously interpret from your language into Italian. However, relying on a driver-translator is not enough. First of all, Italian products are different from raw materials or products lacking distinguishing features. Coffee or chemical experts, for instance, can distinguish the difference between a high and a low quality coffee or chemical product anywhere in the world. There are two types of problems with a driver-translator: cultural/social and technical/production. A textile expert can tell the quality of a certain cotton or silk fabric anywhere in the world. However, only an expert in Made in Italy can tell whether a tie is Italian, and if it is by Armani, Ermenegildo Zegna, Versace or others. National and regional culture Italians have an ancient history marked by great wars and religious conflicts. As a people, they may have a hard time
18 XXII Introduction establishing business relationships with businessmen from foreign countries, who may very well have similarly ancient backgrounds, yet distinctly different customs. What foreign businessmen generally underrate about Italy is that Italy is an extremely articulate country, separated from Northern Europe by the Alps and further split by the long Apennine mountain chain. Italy is divided into twenty different regions that speak different dialects and carry different traditions. Quite impressively, people from Lombardia and from Trentino - two bordering regions in Northern Italy - are historically and culturally as different as the English and the Welsh. Sector-specific traditions Every production sector has its own traditions and folklore that are deeply intertwined with the local environment in which it operates. Sartorial traditions, for instance, are different from those of shoes. A fashion designer in northern Italy definitely has different habits from a tailor in Naples. Therefore, in order to initiate business relationships with Made in Italy producers, a number of cultural and commercial issues have to be addressed. Depending on whether you are dealing with a company based in Milan or any other city in Italy, or even with a company based somewhere else in Italy with an office in Milan, the following may vary greatly: Italian history and culture; national practices, laws and folklore;
19 Introduction XXIII local history and culture; the company with which you are dealing; interpretation of the law. Fashion business practices People in the fashion business adopt different practices compared to people in the food product business. Moreover, people in the fashion business may act differently depending on whether they deal with specific segments; e.g., high fashion, accessories, shoes. Dress code As much as having knowledge of wines is important when visiting a wine producer, dressing appropriately is crucial when meeting an entrepreneur in the fashion business. The safest way Made in Italy s quality resembles that of the antiques market and it requires a certain expertise. A truffle from Alba may be worth thousands of Euros or it may be a counterfeit of unbelievably low quality. If you want to buy truffles and have only seen them in restaurants featured in the Michelin Guide, or even worse, in cooking magazines, how can you
20 XXIV Introduction protect against buying counterfeit goods? The use of drivertranslators is risky from this point of view because they only report, in a polite way, what the seller means. If a seller says this is a top quality truffle from Alba, a driver-translator simply translates this claim because he does not have the expertise to know otherwise. Often, buyers are left alone to uncover any problems because it is generally believed that entrepreneurs are business experts. This is how an unwary buyer can be caught in a trap with the help of the drivertranslator who is unaware of the false claims and is just being kind and courteous with translating. As far as apparel, a supplier may claim that a piece of clothing is Made in Italy because its label says so. However, there are ways to discover whether the Made in Italy label was applied during the production process or later on, in post-production. An expert knows which paperwork can be requested to avoid excessive costs, fraudulent sales, or even legal and Customs problems that an unwary buyer can encounter. Can a European brand be recovered Some European brand names have marketing problems and constitute great potential deals for buyers willing to market them in non-european countries. Because of branding mistakes or market evolution, a certain brand may have problems in a market segment while continuing to grow in other segments, possibly in a different country. When a brand
21 Introduction XXV is having a hard time in Italy or elsewhere in Europe, it still offers opportunities for a foreign trader. In a nutshell, the foreign trader can: buy at a bargain price in Italy; rely on the typical margin for high quality products in his country. However, this kind of opportunity can only be successfully spotted by businessmen who know the Italian and European market. They can rarely be discovered by Korean, Chinese or American entrepreneurs blindly venturing into the highly complex and varied European market. A further opportunity lies in identifying companies producing brand products that are currently having difficulty on the market. With the strategy devised by your advisor, you can create a partnership aimed at purchasing the brand name at a convenient price for you. Increasing the market value of a new product Yes, you can! Identifying a local brand name that is still unknown to the market or forgotten by the local market to launch in your country is definitely an interesting opportunity for you. Such is the case of the US brand name Timberland. In the eighties, Timberland shoes were a locally-distributed working shoe. They were imported and launched on the Italian market as sturdy and high quality shoes to be used for both work and leisure. From Italy, their distribution spread throughout Europe and Timberland became a truly international brand. The same commercial strategy can be
22 XXVI Introduction successfully applied to similar or smaller scale Italian and European local brand names. Licensing With appropriate financial resources, the exclusive licensing of a brand name in your country or region offers great prospects for profitability. In this case, in fact, an independent commercial strategy can be adopted. This freedom translates into the licensee s ability to apply prices at his own discretion, with subsequent margin fluctuations, which is rarely possible when sharing a brand name with others in the same country. Finding the right partner Finding the right people and companies with which to do business is essential to making money. In Italy, relying on an experienced and well-connected agent is the first step to running a profitable business. The time for checking your agent s references is well spent. The same goes for the supplier that you intend to buy from. Who did your agent work with? Can he provide references of people with whom he worked that can confirm his experience and a fruitful collaboration? Can he provide references of clients and suppliers that have been working with him for years?
23 Introduction XXVII This obviously does not mean that you should exclude new companies from consideration as your suppliers. However, it makes sense to verify the prospective partner s commercial reliability, possibly starting with small orders before committing to bigger purchases. Too often Indian, Chinese or Japanese entrepreneurs visiting an Italian manufacturer of high quality products place sample orders and then later big orders whose quality turns out to be much lower than expected, based on their visit and sampling. A mere double checking by a competent and expert agent would prevent this from happening. Italy is filled with traps: only those who know them can avoid them.
24 Part One - At Home Apparel industry s business models In order to open a clothing store or to renovate an existing one, it is necessary to be sure your commercial objectives are clear as well as the business model you intend to adopt. The most relevant factor in store chains business models is the purchasing policy for clothing and accessories offered to clients. A store is typically based on two different purchasing business models:
25 2 Make a Profit with Italian Luxury First case scenario: you buy what you want but you receive it in six to eight months The advantage in this first case is to have access to the widest range of products and maximum freedom in choosing the most appropriate items. The disadvantage is having to select products well in advance, at a point in time (six to eight months prior to delivery) where the previous season s business outcome is still unknown. The weather factor may be detrimental to the supply of most apparel: coats, jackets and cashmere sweaters in the winter; bathing suits and ultra-light apparel for the summer. From a business perspective, the weather factor has a greater impact on sales in the winter, as heavier apparel is often the most expensive, both for the winter fabrics used and for specific production processes and transportation costs. Moreover, trendy pieces tend to increase business risk: if they do not sell, they will become even harder to sell the next season. However, it is important to display one or more very trendy pieces in the store windows. In spite of being more difficult to sell, they are more appealing than classic pieces. As usual, a balance must be found. Buying new collections can be risky from a financial perspective as well. Lots of manufacturers require a 30% advance payment upon placing the order with the balance due prior to shipping. This means importers are financially exposed for at least six months before realizing incoming revenues. Nonetheless, they can order anything they like in any size, style and even with customization, where available.
26 Part One At Home 3 Therefore: Downsides Upsides Second case scenario: you buy what is available now In the first case, you order the goods and receive them when they are available. In the second case you can see the goods you are buying and will pay prior to shipping. The upside is that you can buy whenever you want, but the downside is that you can only choose from what is available; that is, the previous season s unsold stock or the current collection. You may even suffer from size, color and style shortages. There are strategies aimed at solving these kinds of problems, though, and your financial exposure can definitely be reduced; i.e., from one to three months between when the balance is due to when revenues start coming in. Therefore: Downsides Upsides m
27 4 Make a Profit with Italian Luxury Differences between developing and developed markets Two considerations have to be taken into account to differentiate between developing and developed markets. In developing markets, any business model will work and new collections generally find their market share quite easily. In developed markets (Europe, US and Japan), betting on new collections is paradoxically more risky because consumers typically no longer have room in their wardrobes. Most consumers in a number of developed countries have become used to buying only during sales. It is therefore necessary to refine a number of skills: Different purchasing policies and different countries of origin When buying goods from new collections, you buy directly from the brand manufacturer or from an authorized
28 Part One At Home 5 distributor. On the other hand, when buying goods from, countries or origins may be the most diverse. Where one season less goods come from One season less goods come from different places; thus, it becomes more difficult to verify their quality, authenticity and legitimacy. They include: In all of the above cases, one or more commercial transactions on the goods could complicate the verification of their quality due to added value or damages, like deterioration from store display. Peculiar cases, bankruptcies, clearances, change of management Today most producers work on ordered quantities in order to minimize stocks. These types of goods are not generally obtained from producers directly but rather from intermediaries. They often are the unsold stock of middlemen.
29 6 Make a Profit with Italian Luxury Besides negotiating and sign the deal, potential buyers are confronted with the difficult task of verifying the authenticity of the goods. One thing is asking the producer to guarantee the authenticity of the goods in case of controversy; another thing is asking the middleman for the same guarantee. A middleman, in fact, may be acting in perfectly good faith yet has himself been deceived. In case of goods, verification of authenticity is essential and becomes even more important to identify advisors with expertise in and. In case authenticity remains unverified, the goods: In all the above cases except for the fourth one, the goods can be seized by Customs, sanctions may apply, and more serious, legal consequences can arise for the incautious buyer. He may even risk being arrested upon re-entering the country on the next visit. Brand mix: target market-driven brand selection Selecting the right, or the set of brand names to carry, is not only a crucial decision but it is also fundamental to the success of a store or chain of stores.
