π‘ Opportunities & Ideas
Specific ideas and proposals Danielle has raised in meetings. Only includes ideas they directly contributed.
Like, you're getting a free X, Y and Z to this, like, new collection we haven't even released yet.
A lot of stores are now opening cafes inside their store to create this experience, to create an environment that's something Hudson would love eventually.
We'll create activations, have them in there, have them talking to the customers.
And then of course, like travel it is, is a whole story in and of itself with our airplane mode hoodie, which a lot of it, we're ramping up and going to come out with a lighter weight one and all of that.
