I work in the Fashion Industry, and one thing many people don't realize is that a lot of store fronts are actually brands that play ball with Amazon.
An easy to point at example would be Wild Fang - a feminist fashion brand that got its foot traffic location recommendations directly from Amazon. For playing ball with Amazon.
Everyone is noticing that Amazon is planting seeds to try to make them grow. If you work in fashion in Seattle, you see their agents at every show. Seattle is already #4 in terms of Apparel sales- even though inventory is heavily taxed here unless you have moving inventory.
So... whats with Amazon?

WHAT DOES "PLAYING BALL WITH 'AMAZON'" ENTAIL?
Clearly America focused

using them as a sales portal and keeping inventory at Amazon distribution centers.

HOW DOES THAT OCCUR?
>>12084513
They are showrooming - an under-appreciated example of Amazon's grasp of this theory. Showrooming is when a customer visits a physical store to evaluate a product but buys it online because it’s cheaper and more convenient.

Setting up a shop with Amazon. Google it! Expressing an interest in allowing showrooms will have Amazon give you information on where you can show room for maximum effect.

I AM ASKING MERELY BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW HOW IT IS THAT THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLOTHING BRANDS, AND "AMAZON" OCCURS, NOT BECAUSE I AM INTERESTED IN PRACTICING IT.
