BRANDS FAQ: I'm a fashion designer... Why should I use Madison Buyer? Our goal is simple...We help buyers find you! The MB platform organizes designer information by categories, price points, tags, and events, allowing buyers to search for designers based on their specific needs. Designers can't exhibit at every show and retailers can't attend every show. Madison Buyer is a cost effective marketing tool to increase brand awareness to international buyers or buyers who missed your show. Let viewers know who you are, what you offer, which trade shows you're attending, and which showrooms carry your line. Are there minimum requirements? Yes, images must be high quality, with minimum dimensions of 465px by 300px, and you must have at least one retail or ecommerce sales outlet. Please see our spec page for graphic restrictions. Please see our terms and conditions for content restrictions. What exactly can I post in my profile? See our different packages here. How do I start? Click sign up along the top navigation bar. I'm getting an error message during upload. What's up? Be sure the image or video you are uploading is in a format MB accepts (jpg,gif,png for images, embed for video). Make sure the file matches the dimension limits. (See our spec page for limits) If this does not work, email us at info@madisonbuyer.com. How do I delete my profile?
