Canadian Apparel Suppliers
What can be said about Canadian Apparel Manufacturers?
• The number of manufacturers and their sales have
decreased by 35% - 45% over the past ten years
• Have changed from manufacturers to suppliers
• Are focusing increasingly on exporting with mixed
success
• Have become more marketing oriented
• Are totally dependent on the U.S. market, as they have
been unable to develop consistent sales in other
markets

NAFTA Overview
How is Canadian apparel retailing different from
American apparel retailing?
Compared to the United States, Canda:
• Has sales disproportionately smaller at the better end
of the market
• Has fewer channels of distribution
• Has a higher degree of retail concentration
• Has more promotional activity
• Has a higher percentage of independent apparel
retailers (especially in Quebec)

Compared to the U.S. apparel retailers Canadian
apparel retailers:
• Have chains with a fewer number of stores
• Are less dependent on their POS data for
decision making purposes
• Have not been able to build their private labels
into true private label brands
• Are not leveraging social media for marketing
• Have either no loyalty programs or the ones
they have do not effect a consumers shopping
behavior
• Charge higher prices/have greater margins

Developing a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
What is the need that we satisfy? What is our
Raison d’être?
What is our core competence? What are we

than anyone else?

Colombia’s Possible Strategic Advantages as An
Apparel Supplier to Canada:
•
•
•
•
Proximity/speed to market (Just In Time Delivery)
Flexible quantities/small runs
Free Trade Agreement with Canada
Reputation for denim and fashion men’s
underwear manufacturing and needlework
capabilities
• Experience in dealing with U.S. apparel retailers
If your company cannot legitimately claim one or
more of these strategic advantages…

However, if your company has demonstrated a
competitive advantage(s) in the U.S. apparel
market it will almost certainly have the same
advantage(s) in the Canadian market.
Colombian Presentation
79
Canadian Market Entry Plan
Dealing with Canadian Prospects
If a Branded Manufacturer
•Offer exclusivity
•Offer marketing support money
•Offer to warehouse product in Canada
If a Private Label Manufacturer
•Always quote in U.S. dollars
•Emphasize small quantities/speed to
market/flexibility
In either case small minimums and speed to
market will be seen as a competitive advantage
Attendance at Canadian Trade Shows is not
necessarily a must
