Hey guys!
I`m a solo entrepreneur, and I would like to partner with Nordstrom. This may sound like a lofty goal, but I believe I have a good idea.
Is the director of marketing the best person to speak with? Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom?
As always, thanks! 
That thought has crossed my mind. I can just see it now...two months from now, I`ll read in the paper that my biggest competitor has partnered with them...
Just kidding. I talked with someone at Nordstrom today (before I read your post), and she didn`t think it would be a "good match."
There are no physical products involved...just my customers being entered into a drawing to receive their products. I`m still contemplating my next move. Thanks for your input!
The back door is a good idea. I wonder if Nordstrom, for example, has an ad agency. I spoke with the event marketing person.
Maybe it`s just late and I`m tired...but what is a NDN? Non-Disclosure ________?
Well...the ultimate goal was publicity and more customers for both of us. The proverbial interview suit can be very expensive, and winners would be able to experience Nordstrom and probably do business with the company in the future.
Buying gift certificates myself is definitely an option; however, if I did that, I would feel like I`m giving Nordstrom (or another department store) free advertising...especially if I wrote a press release about it.
Good morning
I dont know depend on wath is the best advantage for you all of you....
Have a good day see you later.
It sounds to me as if you have a program/idea that will create a benefit for Nordstrom and that you haven`t been able to convey the benefits to them yet.
Q1. Why Nordstrom?
Q2. What other firm could benefit from your program?
Q3. What other features and benefits are available to your future partner?
I believe if you are able to make it worth their time and money and if you can convey those benefits to your target market then your in.
I agree completely - that`s why I`m revising my approach.
The phone is clearly a bad choice. When she thought she knew where I was going with this, she immediately told me that they "don`t do giveaways." Maybe I should`ve been more aggressive, but I never really got the chance to explain the ultimate goal of my proposal.
Why Nordstrom? Because it`s an upscale department store that caters to both men and women. Fortunately, there are others, and next time I`m going to send something in writing. This way, the reader will be able to read it at his or her leisure, and no details will be lost.
