1. Sportswear International E-Fashion Summit 2010

02.12. - 02.12.2010, Fleming´s Hotel, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

In the past, online retailers like asos.com set the standard for fashion e-commerce. By now, most fashion brands and retailers have come to accept the internet as a powerful sales tool as well as a platform for a new kind of brand engagement. Many fashion brands today even make much more money via their online-shop than through their largest flagship or multilabel store.

More and more, brands are using the newest technology to communicate with their customers. Via social and mobile media, not only modern brand communication is possible, but also target groups can be reached effectively. Fashion brands like Adidas Originals, Converse, Nike or Puma are amongst the ranking of the top brand facebook fanpages for example, and are using their brand communities for information, dialogue, entertainment and distribution.

Thus, the step into the mobile world of Web 2.0 seems to just be a reasonable and overdue consequence. Especially young people make their purchase decisions online and via social networks more and more often. According to a survey from emarketer.com, 68% of American facebook users said they were influenced positively by recommendations of friends when buying a product. In addition, 41% of the interviewed persons use the brands’ fanpages to show their friends which products they like.

Best example for the beginning of a new era is the growing number of companies that show live streams of their fashion shows in the internet and on social networks. Another important virtual trend is the spreading of mobile apps. Apart from tools to compare products and prices, users can also search for special products and order them directly. That way, both the iPhone and iPad become the ideal surroundings for brands in the fashion and lifestyle industry.

But how will online, mobile and social media change the fashion industry, and how can fashion brands and retailers effectively make use of the vast potential this field is holding?
