Dooney & Bourke is another American Brand Handbag Company that has joined the ranks of Coach by being, “Knocked Off” as they say in the business. For many years counterfeiting was something set aside for the big names and the foreign handbag market such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and Gucci. As the handbag craze grew and brands such as Dooney & Bourke grew in popularity these bags began to find there way to the US counterfeit market.
Learn about: Dooney & Bourke
Dooney & Bourke started in 1975 when Peter Dooney and Fredrick Bourke started there line of handbags in South Norwak, Ct. In the early days they made belts and suspenders, then in 1981 they branched out into the handbag business. There first two big successes were the Tack Case and the Equestrian Bag, both of these bags were made from bridle leather. In 1983 there business really grew with the release of there line in the famous, “All Weather Leather”. Along with this collection came there recognizable logo the Duck, it emphasized the concept that water runs off these bags just like it runs off a ducks back.
Get Information on: Luxury Handbags

How can you spot a fake Dooney & Bourke? First you should look at the logo on the front of the bag and make sure the thread on the logo is the same color as the thread used on the rest of the bag. Then you should check the leather trim on the bag because it is always a british tan leather. You should also check the hardware because a real sign that it is fake is that the hardware is not actual brass because no visible metal should be silver. And finally you should look inside the bag there will always be the famous Duck Log with stitching and there will always be a visible red, white and blue registration number sewn in the bag.
Remember when purchasing a Dooney & Bourke to be assured that it is Authentic it is best to purchase you bag from a major department store or an Authorized Retailer. Just because it looks good does not mean it is real.

Kimberly Green asked:
While most people might believe that a lab coat is just a lab coat, anyone who wears one for at least part of their workday can tell you that there are four main characteristic which determine a superior men’s lab coat from one’s that merely make the passing grade. Fabric, fit, function and style all must be paramount in its design for it to be considered superior coat.
When it comes to what makes up your coat, 100% high denier cotton is the Rolls-Royce of lab coat fabric. High denier cotton makes the coat more comfortable to wear, makes it more durable, and with the correct thickness it doesn’t allow the shirt underneath to show through the coat. In addition, cotton lab coats don’t pill and turn the unpleasant shade of yellowish-gray like most cotton/ploy blends do. Ultimately, 100% cotton lab coats are more durable, more comfortable and look better longer than the other, cheaper fabrics.
Unfortunately, most lab coats are not designed for comfort. Most lab coats are cut like boxes or doll clothing, which leads to an uncomfortable fit for most men and women. These uncomfortable lab coats can also lead to fatigue of the neck as pockets filled with stethoscopes, prescription pads and other medical necessities continuously pull on the neck. A properly fitted men’s or women’s lab coat disperses the weight of the garment and its contents over the entire shoulder’s and not just the back of the neck making the lab coat more comfortable.
Function is an important aspect of any work coat, but for a lab coat it is paramount. In a lab coat utility equals function. Superior lab coats should have four or more pockets, as well as feature a soil and stain treatment and should give the wearer a full range of motion without compromising coverage. Lab coat pockets should be large enough to hold all the necessities depending on the medical environment. Soil and stain protection is a must to repel organic fluids and release ground in strains like ring around the collar. And, most importantly, the lab coat should allow a full range of motion without compromising protection.
When it comes to the style of a lab coat remember: lab coats are not simply a utilitarian item. It is one of many first impressions health care providers make to their patients. Superior quality men’s lab coats are designed more like fine men’s clothing rather than the homogeneous square lab coat. Stylish lab coats present a professional image in today’s healthcare environment. It is important to look for all four of these components when shopping for superior quality men’s lab coats. If you skimp on even one of the components both you, and your patients, will realize it almost immediately.

John Henderson asked:
There are three main “pay for performance” channel pricing strategies–functional discounts, activity-based pricing and results-based programs. Each has a unique purpose to achieve specific objectives. While they are distinct approaches, they are not mutually exclusive. Some suppliers require different pricing strategies for each market segment or even multiple strategies for certain channels. While these strategies add complexity, suppliers that do not invest in highly developed programs will let inefficiencies, ineffectiveness, and conflict erode their profits and market share.
Despite use of terms such as “discounts” and “incentives,” the actual payment mechanisms used within channel pricing strategies can take many forms. Channel pricing can take the form of discounts, rebates, commissions, net pricing, or non-traditional mechanisms such as value exchanges, fees, services, or goods.
FUNCTIONAL DISCOUNTS Functional discounts are emerging as an important option for virtually all suppliers. Historically, distributors, retailers, or other channel partners would perform a fairly consistent “bundle” of functions. The traditional distributor purchased inventory, sold it, supported it, and managed credit with the supplier and with the customer. In the past, distributors performed all of these functions reasonably well. Today, however, new entities in the supply chain perform subsets of these functions far more efficiently than traditional distributors. In many cases, a third-party logistics provider can manage inventory, a rep can provide sales support, a call center can provide technical support, and a credit agency can hold receivables at substantially lower costs than traditional distributors.
When suppliers unbundle functions to use the most efficient service providers, they must also unbundle the compensation that they offer to their channel partners. They must only pay channel partners for the functions that they perform.
Under a functional discount structure, the supplier breaks its traditional discount into discrete functional components. For example, a manufacturer that formerly offered a 50 percent discount could offer a base discount of 25 percent and additional discounts of 10 percent for logistics, 5 percent for presale support, 5 percent for post-sale support, and 5 percent for credit and transaction processing. While many distributors will continue to earn the full 50 percent, those that only perform a subset of the functions will earn reduced compensation. This type of structure gives the supplier the flexibility to hire a third party to perform any or all of the functions.
Functional discounts can alleviate destructive channel conflict. If customers use the sales or support services of a high-support channel, but then purchase from a low-cost channel, the customer takes a “free ride” on the high-support channel. A functional discount levels the playing field by limiting the ability of the low-cost channel to undercut the price. Suppliers considering this approach must determine whether their products require high support. If they do not, there is no reason to protect the high-cost channel.
ACTIVITY-BASED PRICING Activity-based pricing is similar to functional discounting except it focuses on motivation rather than on compensation. Activity-based pricing assumes that a channel partner is performing a set of functions such as logistics, order processing, sales, or service. Within the context of these functions, however, channels can perform more or less effectively.
Prompt payment discounts are a classic example of suppliers using channel pricing to motivate behavior. With a prompt payment discount, the supplier’s goal is to reduce its financing costs. Providing an incentive quickens payment and lowers costs. It is a win-win situation for the supplier and the channel partner.
Progressive suppliers are moving beyond prompt payment discounts and are using channel pricing to motivate a wide array of value-added activities. These activities generally fall into two categories–activities that generate demand and those that reduce a supplier’s retained costs. In consumer markets, for example, suppliers use promotional allowances to motivate retailers to generate demand through advertising, display, and promotion. In business-to-business markets, suppliers pay to motivate specification work, lead follow-up, promotional frequency, and technical support. From a cost savings standpoint, suppliers use order quantity, EDI, prompt payment, and other cost-to-serve incentives to motivate channels to lower the supplier’s sales, order processing, logistics, credit, and other costs.
RESULTS-BASED PROGRAMS When designing programs to motivate channel behavior, suppliers must determine whether to pay for activities or results. Results-based programs provide rewards to channels that achieve volume, market share, loyalty, or other targets. Results-based programs are attractive because they align with a supplier’s objectives. For example, if a supplier is charged with achieving 15 percent growth, it seems logical to pass that incentive on to the channel and pay more to those partners that attain those results.
There are important factors to consider before passing results-based incentives on to channel partners. A key consideration is the impact that the program will have on overall channel compensation. A results-based program can unwittingly result in lower margins for distributors who then stop supporting the product line. Results-based programs, if not structured properly, can increase destructive channel conflict, penalize a supplier’s best partners, and reduce supply chain efficiency.
Developing Effective Channel Pricing Structures
Each supplier’s channel pricing structure must reflect its products, services, customers, channels, and resources. What works for one supplier will not necessarily work for another. Some suppliers may drive business results by using all of the performance-based channel pricing strategies identified above. Others may require a singular approach. In any event, it is critical for suppliers to understand the dynamics behind the market to design a program that delivers results. The following analyses will better position the supplier to understand channel dynamics, make better channel pricing decisions, and develop more effective solutions.
OBJECTIVES AND VALUES To design effective channel pricing structures, start with your objectives. The program must reflect the supplier’s overall sales and marketing strategy. Is the objective to push new products or services? Reduce transaction costs? Manage channel conflict? Effective design can drive successful business results in these and other areas. Dysfunctional channel compensation programs can thwart sales and marketing efforts or wreak havoc with operations.
CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION Identify the activities and functions required to satisfy customer needs. Group customers based on their buying needs, purchase potential, and price sensitivity. This step establishes the activities that the supplier or its channels must perform. It also establishes whether there are customer segments that require unique channel pricing models.
CHANNEL CAPABILITIES AND OBJECTIVES Profile existing and alternative channels to determine whether they have the capabilities to satisfy customer requirements. Consider all channel options including direct, distributors, e-commerce, logistics, and other third-party providers. For each channel option, determine whether functions such as sales, credit, logistics, technical support, and order processing can be separated or whether you must hire the channel to perform a bundle of activities.
REVENUE OPPORTUNITY Discounts are based on costs as a percentage of revenue. Consequently, it is necessary to identify the supplier’s revenue potential through each channel option. Start with the price that the end user pays (street price). This price level sets the amount of revenue that the supplier could generate by selling direct.
The supplier’s revenue will depend upon channel conflict and power. An evaluation of channel conflict indicates whether partners will abandon the product line as a result of excessive competition. An evaluation of channel power considers whether the supplier will lose sales if it does not sell through the end users’ preferred channels.
The supplier must evaluate the revenue that its own and competing offerings provide for the channel. Suppliers can pay lower discounts if their product outsells the competition.
COMPETITOR OFFERINGS Determine the discounts and other forms of compensation that competitors offer to channel partners. This is a data point for the discounts that the supplier may require. If the supplier has channel power, it will be able to offer lower discounts than competitors. If the supplier has little or no channel power, it will have to offer discounts that are equal to or higher than the competition.
COST ANALYSES Three cost analyses provide important information for suppliers to develop optimal channel pricing strategies.
1. Direct costs. Identify costs, as a percentage of revenue at street price, which you would incur by selling to or providing functions directly to end users. You should be willing to offer a discount that is equal to or less than your own costs to serve the end user. If you know, for example, that it could sell direct through its own Web site or sales force for a cost of 20 percent, you should not pay your channel partners a 25 percent discount off of street price.
2. Indirect costs. Profile the channels’ costs to perform functions required to satisfy end users. If you use distribution channels, the compensation or discount to the channel should not exceed the channel’s costs and a reasonable profit.
Suppliers can reduce the discounts that they offer to channel partners by understanding the costs that those partners incur when they sell the manufacturer’s line. If you know that it costs the channel 20 percent to sell the product, the supplier should not pay the channel a 30 percent discount off of street price.
3. Retained costs. Assess your retained costs under each channel option. This assessment will help you determine channel profitability and investment. From a pricing standpoint, this analysis establishes the baseline for pricing incentives such as volume, prompt payment, efficient ordering, and other discounts that lower these retained costs.
In the new economy, it is more important than ever before to get channel pricing right. It used to be that channel pricing simply consisted of volume discounts to one or two distribution channels. Today, the situation is far more complex. Many channels compete with each other and have different cost structures and value propositions. They are bigger, more powerful, and global. With e-commerce and advances in logistics, suppliers have new options to unbundle the functions that their distribution channels historically performed.
Sometimes, suppliers should develop structures that distinguish themselves from their competition. In other cases, market leaders must drive entire industries to change. Under traditional pricing approaches, suppliers let fear and competition transfer profitability downstream. This profit transfer erodes the industry’s ability to invest in new products and services and ultimately harms the customer. To break out of this box, market leaders must introduce rational channel pricing strategies that transfer profits back upstream.
These challenges require that suppliers develop new channel pricing structures that provide flexibility to use channels strategically. New approaches pay for functions that channels perform and do not pay for functions that channels do not perform. They motivate partners to generate demand and lower supply chain costs. They pay for performance and results and do not drive inefficiencies. They are rational across channel partners, products, and geographical boundaries. Optimal channel pricing strategies are based on an in-depth understanding of costs, channel power, and conflict. This enables suppliers to respond strategically to partners that demand deeper discounts and to determine when it is best to follow the competition and when it is best to lead.
There are three main “pay for performance” channel pricing strategies–functional discounts, activity-based pricing and results-based programs. Each has a unique purpose to achieve specific objectives. While they are distinct approaches, they are not mutually exclusive. Some suppliers require different pricing strategies for each market segment or even multiple strategies for certain channels. While these strategies add complexity, suppliers that do not invest in highly developed programs will let inefficiencies, ineffectiveness, and conflict erode their profits and market share.
Despite use of terms such as “discounts” and “incentives,” the actual payment mechanisms used within channel pricing strategies can take many forms. Channel pricing can take the form of discounts, rebates, commissions, net pricing, or non-traditional mechanisms such as value exchanges, fees, services, or goods.
FUNCTIONAL DISCOUNTS Functional discounts are emerging as an important option for virtually all suppliers. Historically, distributors, retailers, or other channel partners would perform a fairly consistent “bundle” of functions. The traditional distributor purchased inventory, sold it, supported it, and managed credit with the supplier and with the customer. In the past, distributors performed all of these functions reasonably well. Today, however, new entities in the supply chain perform subsets of these functions far more efficiently than traditional distributors. In many cases, a third-party logistics provider can manage inventory, a rep can provide sales support, a call center can provide technical support, and a credit agency can hold receivables at substantially lower costs than traditional distributors.
When suppliers unbundle functions to use the most efficient service providers, they must also unbundle the compensation that they offer to their channel partners. They must only pay channel partners for the functions that they perform.
Under a functional discount structure, the supplier breaks its traditional discount into discrete functional components. For example, a manufacturer that formerly offered a 50 percent discount could offer a base discount of 25 percent and additional discounts of 10 percent for logistics, 5 percent for presale support, 5 percent for post-sale support, and 5 percent for credit and transaction processing. While many distributors will continue to earn the full 50 percent, those that only perform a subset of the functions will earn reduced compensation. This type of structure gives the supplier the flexibility to hire a third party to perform any or all of the functions.
Functional discounts can alleviate destructive channel conflict. If customers use the sales or support services of a high-support channel, but then purchase from a low-cost channel, the customer takes a “free ride” on the high-support channel. A functional discount levels the playing field by limiting the ability of the low-cost channel to undercut the price. Suppliers considering this approach must determine whether their products require high support. If they do not, there is no reason to protect the high-cost channel.
ACTIVITY-BASED PRICING Activity-based pricing is similar to functional discounting except it focuses on motivation rather than on compensation. Activity-based pricing assumes that a channel partner is performing a set of functions such as logistics, order processing, sales, or service. Within the context of these functions, however, channels can perform more or less effectively.
Prompt payment discounts are a classic example of suppliers using channel pricing to motivate behavior. With a prompt payment discount, the supplier’s goal is to reduce its financing costs. Providing an incentive quickens payment and lowers costs. It is a win-win situation for the supplier and the channel partner.
Progressive suppliers are moving beyond prompt payment discounts and are using channel pricing to motivate a wide array of value-added activities. These activities generally fall into two categories–activities that generate demand and those that reduce a supplier’s retained costs. In consumer markets, for example, suppliers use promotional allowances to motivate retailers to generate demand through advertising, display, and promotion. In business-to-business markets, suppliers pay to motivate specification work, lead follow-up, promotional frequency, and technical support. From a cost savings standpoint, suppliers use order quantity, EDI, prompt payment, and other cost-to-serve incentives to motivate channels to lower the supplier’s sales, order processing, logistics, credit, and other costs.
RESULTS-BASED PROGRAMS When designing programs to motivate channel behavior, suppliers must determine whether to pay for activities or results. Results-based programs provide rewards to channels that achieve volume, market share, loyalty, or other targets. Results-based programs are attractive because they align with a supplier’s objectives. For example, if a supplier is charged with achieving 15 percent growth, it seems logical to pass that incentive on to the channel and pay more to those partners that attain those results.
There are important factors to consider before passing results-based incentives on to channel partners. A key consideration is the impact that the program will have on overall channel compensation. A results-based program can unwittingly result in lower margins for distributors who then stop supporting the product line. Results-based programs, if not structured properly, can increase destructive channel conflict, penalize a supplier’s best partners, and reduce supply chain efficiency.
Developing Effective Channel Pricing Structures
Each supplier’s channel pricing structure must reflect its products, services, customers, channels, and resources. What works for one supplier will not necessarily work for another. Some suppliers may drive business results by using all of the performance-based channel pricing strategies identified above. Others may require a singular approach. In any event, it is critical for suppliers to understand the dynamics behind the market to design a program that delivers results. The following analyses will better position the supplier to understand channel dynamics, make better channel pricing decisions, and develop more effective solutions.
OBJECTIVES AND VALUES To design effective channel pricing structures, start with your objectives. The program must reflect the supplier’s overall sales and marketing strategy. Is the objective to push new products or services? Reduce transaction costs? Manage channel conflict? Effective design can drive successful business results in these and other areas. Dysfunctional channel compensation programs can thwart sales and marketing efforts or wreak havoc with operations.
CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION Identify the activities and functions required to satisfy customer needs. Group customers based on their buying needs, purchase potential, and price sensitivity. This step establishes the activities that the supplier or its channels must perform. It also establishes whether there are customer segments that require unique channel pricing models.
CHANNEL CAPABILITIES AND OBJECTIVES Profile existing and alternative channels to determine whether they have the capabilities to satisfy customer requirements. Consider all channel options including direct, distributors, e-commerce, logistics, and other third-party providers. For each channel option, determine whether functions such as sales, credit, logistics, technical support, and order processing can be separated or whether you must hire the channel to perform a bundle of activities.

Joanna Steele-Perkins asked:
There a so many different retail outlets where you can buy a coat and with a huge selection of shapes, sizes, and styles. And then you need to consider colour, length, collar size, style…..it’s not always easy to choose a coat that is both practical and flattering and even then you need to find a coat that is a statement of your style personality. When it’s cold and you are out and about, your coat is the only bit of clothing people will see……it really does matter!
Let’s start with colour. Depending on your personality, most people want a coat that will blend with anything so choose a colour that is fairly neutral, black, brown or navy. Remember depending on your colouring it’s important to get the neutral right. A colour analysis will show you your best neutrals. If this seems a bit boring you can always brighten up your neutrals with colourful scarves and accessories in colours that suit you. Alternatively if you have a dramatic personality a neutral coat won’t be you’re cup of tea at all, you will want something bright and showy. Go for a red or purple coat, many shops are stocking turquoise this autumn too.
The second point is Style. Which style of coat, suits what body shape? Here are some suggestions.
Belted Coats: Good for tall women, with defined waists. “Neat hour-glasses” look great in these. If you have little waist definition, avoid these they will make you look wider!
Swing Coats: These look good on “Rounds”. The coat hides the upper body whilst showing off those lovely shapely legs.
Single-Breasted, no pockets: This style suits just about everybody.
Double-Breasted. Good for “Triangles”, “Lean Columns” and “Rectangles” provided the bust isn’t too large.
Military: These look good on “Lean Columns”.
Cardigan Style: Great for “Full Hourglasses” and “Rounds”.
The type of fabric and pattern (if there is any) also play an important part in getting the best look. Collar size can be important too. This season many coats have large lapels which is great for “Triangles” but not so good for “Inverted Triangles”. Remember you height and scale. A full length coat could be overwhelming on somebody under 5’3″.
The third point is Personality…..your personality! Are you dramatic and want everybody to notice you or do you like to look chic and elegant? Perhaps you like the natural look, a fleece or duffle coat or do you want something different from everybody else? It is important to work out your style personality too. There is little point in buying a coat that fits your body shape like a glove and is in one of your most flattering shades if you would never wear it because it is either “too boring” or “too outlandish”.
This might make you think it is even more difficult than you orginally thought. Do not despair, there is help out there. A style consultation with a Colour Me Beautiful consultant is all you need.

All Coat Racks asked:
Selecting a coat rack is a pretty simple job on the outside; after all, a coat rack is a simple object! However, if you make your business’s decision without weighing in all of the possibilities you may encounter, you can find yourself in a situation where you are inadequately equipped to accommodate your customers. You may also find yourself spending more money down the road on additional equipment. You really don’t want to discover that you needed a larger coat rack after all if you are in the middle of a big event for your company. The last thing you need are your employees scrambling to find your guests coats as they begin to leave, and worse yet, losing items as the event goes on. If you bare these few tips in mind while you are shopping around for your business’s coat racks, you should be prepared to keep your business in order and will be able to ensure your guests items are securely placed in a stable location.
The first thing to start thinking about is how many people you are expecting. If you know the precise number of people who will be attending, then you know roughly the size of the coat rack you will need. However, if you are holding an event open to the public, or have a restaurant or business that can have a large crowd at any point, then you will need to consider other factors. Start thinking about the size of your venue and what is the legal capacity for your building. Additionally, you will want to think about the room where your coat rack will be located and how large of a unit can it hold. More importantly, can your selection get through the doorway to that room easily!
From there, you should also think about your actual location. Are you in an area that has warm temperatures year round? Or are you in an area that changes from one extreme to the other? A restaurant located in south Florida is most likely only going to need a smaller coat rack that can accommodate a few rain coats for rainy days. Mean while, a restaurant in northern Minnesota may need a coat rack that can hold dozens of thick, winter coats and only a few jackets for cool summer nights.
There are many options available to accommodate your business’s specific needs. Most coat racks come in a standard width that is great if you know roughly the number of people who generally come into your establishment. However, if you don’t know if you will need room for 4 or 5 coats, or possibly 15 or 20 coats, there are coat racks available that can actually convert into larger racks. Keep it small and condensed when you know you’ll have a small crowd or if there’s warmer weather, and then open it up during the colder months and busier seasons. These types of coat racks are the most versatile and will give you the best bang for your buck. Some even come with their own coat hangers that will stay more securely on the rack.
If your restaurant or hall is sometimes rented out for weddings and other types of parties, your best investment is into a large portable coat rack that condenses down when not in use. Many business coat racks like these are capable of holding 70 or more coats. Additionally, many are also portable so you can easily move it when you need to. When it’s not in use, they can condense down to a more compact size that can fit through door ways and into storage rooms.
Keeping these few, simple factors in mind can help you make a better decision and possibly save you money down the road. Jot down what requirements your coat rack should fill and make sure your final choice meets these requirements. In the end, you’re company will be more organized, and your customers will be happier with you.

Have you ever wanted to dress like a star, but lack the budget to do so? Flip through the pages of any fashion or celebrity magazine and what’s one of the first things you notice about the way rich and famous women dress? They love their designer purses! It’s a designer handbag that will set you apart and it’s one part of your fashion wardrobe that you can easily update and look like a star.
It’s always interesting to see which star is carrying a certain designer purse since they certainly seem to have a fetish with designer bags. Most of the big handbag designers have boutiques in Hollywood and it’s unlikely that you will see your favorite star without a trendy bag.
Among all the designers that make these high-end handbags, perhaps one of the most popular is the Coach handbag. Based in Manhattan, Coach is the maker of some very hot leather bags. Coach sells their exclusive handbags through it’s own stores, but you can still find great deals on these great bags through online stores, often for significant savings.
Of course Chanel is another popular and sought after handbag designer. Originally started by Coco Chanel, you might be familiar with their fragrances and designer clothing. Chanel is also very well known for their high quality handbags with their signature logo featuring two interlocking “C”s.
Dooney & Bourke is yet another designer that makes some great handbags that have received much attention. Although they haven’t been in the handbag business as long as others, they have made their mark on the industry. Since 1975 this U.S. based company has been designing some unique and high quality handbags with prices falling in the mid-range of designer handbags.
Other hot designers include Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Chanel and Burberry just to name a few.
So what kind of bag is your favorite famous socialite carrying? Hilary Duff has been spotted with a Prada Fairy handbag, while Lindsay Lohan was seen with a Chanel bag. Most stars tend to have many designer handbags, but it’s unlikely that anyone can beat Victoria Beckham. She is said to have over 100 Hermes handbags alone! Hermes bags can cost $50,000 and more for one bag!
Unfortunately there is a downside to these hot and trendy handbags. Since they are so popular right now and every woman wants to own an exclusive bag, counterfeit goods are sold as though they are the real thing. Although it’s reasonable to expect significant discounts by buying your next designer handbag online, if the offer looks too good to be true, you will want to make sure it’s authentic. Usually these fake handbags are easy to spot as their quality is poor and they lack the detail of the real thing.
