Attending trunk shows presents an opportunity to get your luxury brand in front of potential buyers. So you should never stop promoting for trunk show appearances. Often new luxury brands will give up on trunk shows when they don’t secure placement or receive an immediate surge in sales.
Trunk shows can be good for established luxury brands and those that are emerging. A trunk show allows an opportunity to connect with the fashion world, get to know sales people, and obtain valuable feedback from luxury consumers.
