    How can I get the Chanel account?

    Can someone please give me some advice on how to get the Chanel account? I'm waiting for the Lux rep to call me back. However, I believe there is a separate rep for Chanel. Does anyone have the contact info for the Chanel rep?

    What do you need to do to get them in your store?

    Have a real Ritzy store, with a high volume and throw some money at Lux.

    Chip

    Oh yes, you must be ra-feeened and soo fist a kated with a clientel to match.

    Also Channel is no longer using Lux reps who are ra-feened and soo fist akated enough for Channel. Be done gonna have ther own specially trained and snobified reps in the near future.

    1. find a Chanel account about 50 miles from your store ( so they wont' feel like competition) offer them 20% over book and swear you won't tell anyone where you got the frames. charge enough so you don't have to worry about needing to pay for a new frame in case of warranty.

    2. involves suggestions of lewd acts.

    I'm not even sure why anyone would want one. We carried them at the old place for a couple of years. This might be location specific perhaps but the styles really weren't that cool. Maybe had 1 in 12 that was sellable. My favourite was a sunglass that had a giant CC logo above the bridge. I was pretty sure that if someone sat on the beach with this frame on all day that they would have a Chanel logo burned on their forehead. It never sold though so I never found out.

    That's just so you can get one or two, not their standard minimum order.

    there is a thread on here somewhere about how Chanel just went into some stores and told them they could no longer sell their product. Didn't matter that they were selling frames left and right.

    Chanel is not accepting new accounts
    Chanel is closing many existing accounts

    Don't forget to wrap the frame in a Faraday cage.
