VERTICAL INTEGRATION BUSINESS MODEL
Web-only brands are vertically integrating the retail value chain, including designing,
manufacturing, branding, and distribution:"
• 
Direct: By eliminating stores from the supply chain, companies bring products directly to
consumers from the factory without the bloat of the traditional retailer who marks up their products
up to three times as it works its way through the supply chain from the factory to the store. • 
Disrupting prices: This translates into high-quality products at significantly lower prices. A key
benefit of being an online niche retailer is the ability to build a distinct, easily recognizable brand
that can grow customer loyalty even as new brands are just a click (or discovery site) away. • 
Incremental Operational Margins & Cash Flow: Economies of scale when reaching
customers critical mass produce incremental margins up to 100% and ability to finance forward
growth rather with new references, new same group brands or geographical expansion. Less
Capex due to efficiency in stock management and needs.
RADICALLY SIMPLE, NO INTERMEDIARIES
THE BRUBAKER BRAND
A new kind of retail experience, that exists 100% on line, acting as an exclusive luxury basic product (male at the
beginning) clothing destination, that bypasses all the middlemen to transfer to the end user the quality that comes
up from relationships with the same EU factories that make expensive designer goods at significantly lower prices.

BRAND STORY AND CHARACTER
• 
Transparent price point and fair price point plus higher perceived quality (materials used) in form of a more
valuable and intelligent value proposition for the customer vs actual value chain and incumbents in off line world.
Transfer to end user the savings in value chain and quality products. Transparency creates Authority.
“I buy like no other saving money with the best quality= smart shopping = ego driven to share the experience”
• 
Made in Europe as opposite to Made in Asia related to higher material quality and production process.
“I buy European made products to help out the country and getting better quality than Asia
products with European style and design”.
• 
Perception of quality is helped out by the fact that same factories as the ones who work for high street names are
producing your garment for you.
“I buy like no other because of the quality of the product= smart shopping = ego driven to share the experience”
• 
The exclusivity is driven by taste, style and knowledge as opposed to money sign.
“I buy like no other because I am part of an smart community= smart shopping = ego driven to share the experience”

HOW CAN THE BRUBAKER AFFORD TO
SELL AT LOWER PRICES?
Some of our competitive advantages are based in the
efficient process of designing, and production apart
from the fact that our factories and partners are quite
close from our offices so the time involved in the whole
process doesn’t reach up to 21 days in total.
Lower inventory costs due to the fact that our brand
produces what the community is asking for using
social and marketing tactics in order to generate such
references as well as inventory turnover focused
management strategies in contrast to standard margin
focused strategies in actual industry = Higher
Inventory Turnover.
