  • Market Access for Artisan Partners

    MARKET ACCESS:PROVIDING OUR ARTISAN PARTNERS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO EARN STEADY, SUSTAINABLE INCOME IS A KEY ELEMENT OF INDEGO'S MARKET-BASED IMPACT MODEL AND INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN. TO FURTHER INCREASE THE WORK AVAILABLE FOR THE ARTISANS BEYOND OUR EXISTING WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS, IN 2021 WE ADDED A THIRD DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL FOR HIGH VOLUME CUSTOM ORDERS FOR MAJOR BRANDS. OUR PRODUCTION TEAMS IN AFRICA TRAVEL TO AND WORK DIRECTLY WITH OUR ARTISAN PARTNERS TO EXPLAIN PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND CONDUCT QUALITY CONTROL REVIEWS, AND PREPARE FOR MONTHLY AIR CARGO SHIPMENTS TO THE U.S. THIS HELPS REINFORCE OUR PARTNERS' PRACTICAL SKILLS WITH THE ONSITE GUIDANCE THEY NEED TO CREATE HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL EXPORT MARKET.
