Ten Ways Notice Me Jeans Got Noticed In Colombia

One Way Notice Me Jeans stood out:
Not in order, only by memory.

1. I am a Latin-American, born in Canada with parents from Colombia.
I speak Spanish fluently but with an accent.
No matter how hard I tried to fit in or how hard I tried to speak slower.
I stood out of the crowd. I could not even pretend I was from a faraway mountain with a weird accent. All I had to do is, say one word AND that's all it took. That was it.
Everyone I encountered with, loved my accent and wanted to hear more of it.
It was great getting all the attention. At least they were not laughing at me.
They want to hear me speak and they became good listeners.
I was there for the fashion show in Colombia to learn more about fashion and butt-lifting jeans.

Day 9 Medellin, Colombia

You see my shoesAnd now you don't. The people below played a cruel joke on me. They told me that my shoes were stolen and that I had to walk home. I did not believe them at first. All I kept thinking was, I am wearing my tan top and white pair of jean shorts and no shoes. WHO is giving me a piggy ride on their backs. How can this be?

Here are the suspects. If you ever see these people don not believe anything they say. Expect me (Shirley)

Me (Shirley) and Cousin, Orlando.
Here is where they bought the liquor.

Saturday, August 1, 2009

I received my parcel of jeans from the supplier to bring back to Canada with me.
The ten pairs of jeans, I ordered.
I set a time at my Grandmother's house for anyone to visit me from 9am to 1:30 pm.
to say my good-byes and to packed my luggage. Yeah, right. I left packing to the every last minute.
What mistake.

Later on that night, I was invited to go out with a few family members to the first day of event called Feria de las Flores.
It's a huge event and it last for about a week long. Everyday is a party and the parties start as early as the first day of the event, early morning. The party started during the day at the pubs with the music full blast.

I can only tell you about the first day of the Feria de las Flores.
The next day, I was heading to back to Toronto. What a big mistake to party the night before.

It was such a beautiful event. It starts off at a spot where people can watch the owners riding their horses. That last for hours and then the party continued to another location where the night never ended. There was not even space to sit down your ass on the grass.
I am not much of a drinker, had a few shoots of Colombian Aguardienete with less sugar. It was pretty tasty.
We headed back home about 12am and then started packing. Fell asleep about one hour before I had to wake up. I had to be at the airport at by 4:30am. My driver had also spent the night at the festival and got home an hour before departing to the airport.

I was so tried that I almost could not wake up.

Day 8 Medellin, Colombia

Early 0930 appointment with jeans supplier. They manufacture regular butt-lifting jeans and butt-lifting jeans with pads on the butt area to give women volume on their behinds. This could be my next product or least a back up for to my current supplier. I have recorded two videos that are uploaded onto you tube that show the manufacture warehouse and the process of creating jeans.

Day 3 of Fashion Show/Trade Show

Early morning went to a Mall outlet where there was a special promotion for clothing items at a very reasonable price. I bought a few items to test the market to see if anyone would be interested in buying Colombian clothing. I bought a few women and men products to see if the size conversion is the equal to Canadian sizes. I have concluded, yes for depending on the items. The styles are very trending and I would only get my hands are the prefect outfit, the best size and price. There is a great opportunity to sell it here in Canada and it will compliment the jeans.
The Colombian brand is very similar to well known brands such as Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, Pink from Victoria’s Secret. They sell jeans, shirts, tees, tanks, boardshorts, underwear, dresses, sweaters, jackets and accessories. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I want to return back next year for more promotions items.
I saw an amazing opportunity.

In the afternoon I was at trade show again and there I meet some more suppliers.
I was now at the last section of the trade show where there was a lot manufactures that designed lingerie and swim wear. I am thinking of heading this direction as my next choice of product in the near future. I opened my eyes to new ideas and made a lot of contacts. Stayed to the end of the event. Went to an expensive mall to look at stores and noticed a lot of America stores during the evening. Found a potential supplier that might be interest for Notice Me Jeans.
Made an appointment with them. They manufacture butt-lifting jeans.

The evening, my cousin drives me in her motorcycle to one of her friend's place.
We arrive and the security guard greets us at the gates and buzzes the resident to advise we have arrived for a visit.
While waiting for her friend to pick us up at the entrance, I asked security if I can use his washroom. He gave me permission. I found my first encounter with a Colombia raffle in the washroom behind the door. I took pictures of it and video tape it. It was excited to tell story.

Headed to the Fashion trade show on level two where I meet a bunch of suppliers that designs jewelery, make their own fashion outfits and a supplier that designs handmade hand bags that are made from a tree in Colombia. I spent the rest of the day there until closing time. There is not a enough time to see it all in two days.

Day 1 of Fashion Show/Trade Event

I have a new camera to use. Now I can show you some amazing pictures to go along with an amazing experience.
Meet with my supplier, in the morning. Meet with the owner and my sales person. Never spoke to the owner and he basically traveled all the way from Cali to Medellin from Colombia to meet with me. It was a pleasant surprise. I usually talk to my supplier over the phone only. Communicated any issue I had with them and what I am looking forward to do with my business and how my business works. They were very impressed with my entrepreneur ideas and how my business works. We build a work and friendship relationship. After the meeting, we had lunch. We learned more about our business and how we can benefit from one another. I was able to received a contract that shows that I am an exclusive representative for them in Canada. I also received a shipment from them of an order of ten jeans as samples items to test the market. I am very pleased with design and quality of the jeans. They have invited me to their manufacture to view the process of the how the jeans are designed and created. I can’t wait for the chance to experience all of that one day soon.

After the meeting, sometime in the afternoon, I headed to the fashion trade show.
It’s a three day event. On my first day, I headed for the first floor where I meet a lot of interesting new products and new manufacture of jeans. I set an appointment to meet with one of them on Friday of that same week. It was the perfect venue spot to make contacts and understand Colombian products. They were all impressed to know that I was from Canada and wanted me to be their exclusive representative for Canada. Received a lot of brochures from suppliers and went home with a lot of information from the three days fashion event. I stayed there until the evening. Later on that evening, I went out to experience the fun.

Day 4 Medellin, Colombia

Monday, July 27, 2009

Went to another popular location where the locals and tourist usually shop. At this hot spot, they sell American clothing and products. I noticed that they was a lot of imitation of brand names that are illegal to sell. No opportunities to purchase or sell from Canada to Colombia. Not worth the time and effort. Interesting to know that Colombians love to purchase and support imitation clothing. By the way, when my cousin asked me "where is your camera, I want to see all the pictures you took". Realized, that my camera was missing. Oh my, my camera.
Let me think..... How could this happen when I am also careful about everything…
I had a very strong feeling and knew exactly what happened. I was so busy through out my stay, that I only realized when I arrived to Toronto. What exactly happened to my camera.
The camera was given to me by my aunt. My cousin lend me her camera for the rest of my stay.

Day 3 Medellin, Colombia

Sunday, July 26, 2009

At Leisure. Manufactures are not open on Sundays.
Spend the day visiting family members. Wanted to see them all at once.
I don't like to think about being indoors looking at house walls.
Rather, would love to be outdoors enjoying the sunshine instead.
My visit were always short. If only my family members would follow me and our visit would take place outdoors instead. I will make of it for next time. I don't think, I want to requited with the houses. I just didn't want to waste anytime...It was all about what makes Shirley happy.
I wanted and needed to have time to focus on my business for the remaining of the week.
