Thanks for sharing! I'm 26 based in SATX and am trying to go back to school for fashion merchandising + business administration or marketing.

This was really helpful !
Aw! I'm so glad!
Very well spoken. I took some classes in college a few years ago, and I enjoyed them. It’s interesting how I learned more about the processes in business, than from the business school. I don’t know if it’s because of a more “specific” major or what. Either way I think it’s important to state that it is very similar to a business degree, and way of thinking.
Yes it is even with pure business degree you can go in fashion industry.
Thank you so much for sharing this info! im a fashion merchanising major and i was feeling pretty confused about what to do next
aw! i’m so glad this was able to help. best of luck to you!
@@JaciAlison thank you!! All the best to you too, keep making more videos!! 🥰🥰
I love your channel 💕
Thank you so much for making this! I always knew I wanted to do jobs like this, but could never figure out exactly what they consisted of. I have never been able to paint a clear picture of what exactly this degree had to offer, but now I do... thanks to you! So thank you so much!
(also I think you said you went to UT, and I was wondering if you were talking about University of Texas bc I am interested in going there next year)
She goes to UNT in Denton :)
I’m 48 and in Maryland, I joined because of your cute kitten videos

Hello Alison! My name is Hanna and I’m from Brazil. I currently live in Boston and I am majoring in fashion merchandising. Loved your video so much. Thanks for the content
Aw hi!! Welcome to our little side of the internet 🫶🏼 so glad you’re here!
Thank I loved it I’m currently majoring in this degree to have a overseas luxury storefront one day

Omg aw! So glad you’re here ❤️ add me on linked in! It’s Jaci Alison Todd - would love to stay in touch and see where this journey takes you !!
Well explaind!
Also in TX!
Even with my degree it’s been pretty hard to land a job in my field. I was able to be promoted from a sales associate to a merchandiser through a company i was working for but trying to branch off with a different company ive been unsuccessful
The industry can defintely be competitive, and covid has also had quite the impact on the job market. fingers crossed things look up soon! Best of luck to you.
I’m going to UNT too! So far I’m considering a double major for Marketing and Merchandising
Trend forecasting sounds very interesting
Yes! It really is. Check out a site called WGSN for some inspo :)
Hi Alison, my name is Jaylah. I am 21 years old and I am studying Fashion Merchandising & Design. I plan is to do a Retail Sales Associate because I am looking for a job, then I will focus on doing handbags for Fashion Selling, then do a blog. Once I graduate to get an Associates Degree, I will take a break on school to stay focus on those three things for now. My major is Fashion Designer, I haven't focus on my business just yet since I am focus on school and other things as well, but maybe I wanted to do Fashion Merchandising, but I am passionate about Fashion Design. I still have a lot of time to think about it. 😊❤️
Aw! Hi Jaylah. You seem so driven and passionate about fashion, you came to the right place! Everything will happen just as it is supposed to, i am so proud of you!
@@JaciAlison Hi Alison, thank you! I have been focusing on success more in the future.
I’m Gloria, I’m 17 years old, and I’m from Texas. The fashion industry is something that I would enjoy doing, but idk what exact job in general.
Hey, I'm Ann.
I'm from India.. 17 year old... Planning to study fashion merchandising in UK..
Thank you so much for the info..
It was really helpful.
Hi Alison! I’m a sophomore at University of Maryland, Eastern Shore. My major is Digital Media Studies & I just made my minor Fashion Merchandising. Not sure what ima do with both but I know I’ll do well lol
Hi alison! I'm 28 and also major in fashion merchandising
aw!! hi linda!!! so glad you’re here 🤍
learned so much in this video, more than in my 4 years of university
Omg 🥲
hey Alison, just graduated from UNT with the same degree. how do we incorporate what we learned from our degree into our resumes? also how/where are you now with your degree? hope all is well
Question if I wanted to start creating my own hoodies, T shirts, shorts, stuff for starters jumpsuits all etc what would I need to pursue fashion merchandising or design by itself
I'm Marliee turned 39 years young from Miami Florida .😅 and I'm currently an esthetician and managing an independent medspa. However, i dont know if i want further my career in skincare. Im looking towards more of an independent, fun, enjoyable, flexible schedule and not be in a very saturated field. My mind is creative, and I always aim on doing hands on creativity and visuals, but I can't pinpoint what I would like to do as for a career. As I was going through my research, I found another job in the retail/ visual merchandiser position and caught my attention. I didn't know there were such things as a position in visual merchandising. Anyways I'm here to look for more in-depth experiences and knowledge to see if this is something I should put my time in researching and investment in a degree. Wish me luck!
Hello, thankyou so much for this video it’s really helpful. I got a clear view about what fashion merchandising is. I’m 20, from Mumbai, India 🇮🇳 currently pursuing in BMM ( mass media) and working as a fashion model. I was actually planning to do a PG course in Fashion but was really confused, one of my friend who works in Marks and Spencers, London suggested me this course. Can you tell me which is the best university for the same? Thankyou♥️
You look freaking great 😍
I’m 29, live in Texas!! I’m closing on my house like next week!! I need an amazing outfit, will you HELP me!!? Love your style 🤩
Congratulations! I remember when closing on my first house, this will be a huge deal!
wow love u - i guessss i could help ;-)
Can u give a detailed explanation about the fee structure??
Hello! I'm not really interested in working for another establishment, but rather starting my own business. I'm particularly interested in starting an athletic/athleisure type of thing. Do you think fashion merchandising and marketing would give me an edge for that particular goal, or would it be best to look for something else in the business department?
Hi there! I think it really depends on the industry you are aiming to launch your business. If it's clothing or product related, a fashion merchandising degree could be very beneficial!
I love how you said Shein, without saying Shein.
Iykyk ;)
I’m 17 and starting my senior year in high school. I live in PA. If I wanted to start my own fashion company online and boutiques, what should I major and minor in?
hi!! fashion merchandising or any business degree!
Hi i am from indiaa. I am looking forward to get a fashion business degree. Your video came across. It helped me alot. Tyyy
I'd like to know the scope of Fashion Merchandiser and trend forecasting jobs in New York City before I pursue an associate degree program in fashion buying and Merchandising this Fall 2021. Could you guide me to better understand the qualifications and skill set required to break into the fashion industry as I’ve recently moved to New York City - Manhattan . To give you a brief background about myself I hold a bachelor's and Master's degree in Finance and have a dynamic experience of more than six and half years in Regulatory compliance laws with multinational banks in India. Alongside I’ve closely worked with my family- owned fashion boutique for several years and that’s how I developed an interest in business side of fashion instead of design. Please tell me how can I get in contact with u? Thank you for such an informative video😀
Thank you this video is helpful Are you working right now ? If yes where and what do you do ?
I work in visual merchandising and retail management currently!
Hey a year later. I am 17 and I have a clothing brand. would this be something good to help me with my career down the line cause I already do most of this stuff!
You have very pretty eyes
thank you!!
Im a Junior at UNT for merchandising :)
omg! hi!!
I am 19 years old.I want to work in the fashion industry,but not as a fashion designer . My areas of interest are fashion marketing, luxury brand management and strategic management.Is it possible for me to do masters in these subjects ,even though I am pursuing an English Lit degree?Also,does it require any sketching skills?
Hi. very helpful vedio you made.thank you. My 4 year undergrad subject was B.Sc in Textile Engineering from Bangladesh.now i am working as an apparel factory merchandiser from the last 8 year in my country.
I am very much interested in Fashion Buying & Merchandising Master’s program. can you please advice some suitable collage or University in New york specially for international studen.
and how is the job market for product merchandiser or development merchandisers?
And do you think a major in fashion merchandising is the best option to become a retail buyer ?
Yes!
Does UNT ask for 16 yr of education for pursuing masters or PG in fashion merchandising??
Hiii Alison. Im kinda confuse between psychology and fashion merchandising. can you help me a lil bit? like giving me pros and cons.
OMG SAME. so what did you settle for?
Same but with health field! Lol I could always go back and minor in fashion or business
hey alison, i’m pauline and i’m 25 years old from california :) i want to be a buyer! why do you say buying is the hardest path from merchandising?
Hi, Pauline! I say that because it is by far the most competitive career path within the industry. Many individuals want to become buyers, and oftentimes if the buyer is not meeting an organizations expectations, they will be let go. For many organizations the turnover is quite high, however, it really depends on the company/ buying department, etc. Don't let this discourage you, sending you all the good vibes, you've got this girl!
I’m more of a supply chain person. If you can get into Planning to start that can help. Also if you start maybe outside of Fashion companies, but get into buying for just a year or so, you can have a better chance of the transition as you would have experience.
Hi! I'm Neha from India 🇮🇳 i wanted to do fashion merchandising in USA 🇺🇸 can you please suggest me from where can I do this degree which university and which state in USA is good
In my view, merchandising is a business major I mean its under business. One of my high school classmate is studying Apparel Manufacturing and Merchandising and it's under business degree "BBA". Btwn I'm 20 majoring in business administration and will specialize in banking and finance... so no connection to fashion ^-^ but I love this industry and I can still work in it.
I changed my major to Marketing so I can connect to fashion!
My name is Linda I'm 71 now but back in the '80s I went to school and got my passion merchandising degree and I just would like an ID so I can go to buy clothes for myself not for sale at the outlets
My degree is Currently Marketing and I’m a Junior. Will i be able to become a buyer even though it’s not specifically a fashion marketing degree?
Yes you can. Outside of fashion that is normally more of a “supply chain” degree career. Usually considered more “prestigious”, just meaning it’s more common to work from being a Planner and then going into Buying.
Hi I'm 43 NY new student

Do you have a bachelors? I don’t know if I need one or just an associate
@@bacyardjam7043 I don't think you need a Bacherlors to get into Merchandising. Some companies look for people who's very passionate in it and the job that i applied for was an entry level role which means it doesn't require experience. I think like what matters is that as far you are aware of the merchandising world and what they do then i don't think you'll need a bachelors. But yes, i do have a bachelors. :)
