Benefits of TICA

Discover the advantages of a TICA annual subscription

Why is it beneficial to purchase at TICA?

At TICA, you’re not tied to standard packaging or minimum purchases. You buy per piece, exactly what you need. No unnecessary stock that needs to go on sale later. This allows you to purchase flexibly, smartly, and with a customer-focused approach.

You not only buy more flexibly but also potentially more advantageously. With a conservative estimate of 10% loss due to markdowns and seasonal sales, the margin remains comparable to that of wholesalers. With higher percentages of loss, the advantage of TICA increases, allowing you to earn more for every euro you spend.

By purchasing per piece, you avoid dead stock. Your inventory stays flexible and on-trend, reducing the risk of unsold products. Fewer write-offs, more returns. This keeps both your cash flow and collection in top shape.

Prices at TICA are on average about 10% higher than traditional wholesalers, but the benefits of flexible purchasing and less loss certainly make up for it. You buy purposefully, have less inventory risk, and optimize margins. Smarter purchasing, better results.

With over 450 brands under one roof and five locations full of inspiration, you have access to a wide, on-trend selection. You can easily respond to trends and changing seasons. This way, you always have something new to surprise and inspire customers.

At TICA, you’re not only assured of a strong purchasing advantage, but you also benefit from knowledge and inspiration. With monthly workshops, inspiration sessions, and events, you stay up-to-date and inspired. From styling to social media, from window dressing to marketing tips: TICA helps you grow.
