Lets say you have a clothing line in America. Lets say that your an upstart, and your trying to establish your brand. Your particular about where your clothing is sold and you have built a great relationship with your local sneaker boutique.
Say you get a request from a store in Japan for clothing. This store request a nice size order for your small upstart company. They want your entire line of clothing. They send you pictures of their store, that include other items, and how the store is setup.
Here is the question....Some of these questions may have to do with the Japanese culture, and how they shop. Would you make the sell? What if the store does not sell the same types of clothing? What if the people you consider your contemparies are not there? Do you potentially sacrifice your brand (if the spot is not what you think), to get your clothing internationally?
