The prerequisites for becoming a fashion VDI

First of all, you must be of legal age and not be banned from running a business.

This status can be compatible with a permanent or fixed-term contract (with the agreement of your boss), except for specific clauses in your contract. However, you cannot start a VDI business if you are a civil servant (with some exceptions), a public or ministerial officer, an auditor, a chartered accountant, an architect, a surveyor, a lawyer, an auctioneer, an administrator or a court-appointed agent.

Finally, you need to be passionate about fashion and organised, so that your job becomes a real pleasure every day.

Elora clothing VDI: our 4 top tips

1 - Be sociable

If you're going into home shopping, communication is the basis of your job. You'll need to tell people about your business to expand your network, communicate on social networks, organise private sales with several people and be comfortable speaking to advise your customers. Don't hesitate to reach out to people if you want to develop your VDI business.

2 - Be independent and want to be your own boss

VDI is similar to self-employment: you are your own boss. Organise your days well so that you don't get distracted by other activities, and keep your schedule up to date.

Tell yourself that you're really working and that it's important to set "office hours" that suit you. Finally, don't be afraid to tell those close to you that you are unavailable during your working day, so that they don't bother you at any time of the day.

3 - Be passionate and know your subject

If you choose to be a fashion VDI, it's because you're passionate about the world of ready-to-wear. Selling clothes direct should be a pleasure above all else, so live your VDI experience to the full!

It's also important that you know the brand, its products and its values so that you can advise your customers properly. At Elora, we'll help you get to know our collections and our world.

4 - Support and training

When you start a new business, it's important to be surrounded by the right people to help you. Elora will train you in the best sales and organisational techniques. Our advisers are also there to share their experience with you and support you in your business. You're not on your own!
