Seeking
Cochenille Educators and Dealers
Educators: Cochenille is looking for
people interested in becoming a Garment Design Educator. We well
realize that we cannot be everywhere, and thus we would like to
extend ourselves through people who learn how to use Designer and
are interested to teach others.
Once
we know you are familiar with the software we will make your name
available to people who ask for design workshops around the country.
We encourage you to set up appointments with local shops and guilds
as well as local shows. If you like, you may carry and sell the
product as well.
We
are willing to assist our Educators by teaching them as much as
we can about Designer and about the garment design process. We plan
to do this through workshops that we will hold here in San Diego,
or at other planned locations around the country. If you are interested
in learning more about becoming a Garment Designer Educator, please
contact us at techsupport@cochenille.com.
Dealers: If you are interested in becoming
a dealer for Cochenille products, please send an email to info@cochenille.com
and we will send you a dealer's packet, either by email or by snail
mail. We have various options for our dealers. Dealer prices vary
according to the quantity ordered. If you prefer to not carry inventory,
we can even accommodate that via our finder fee and drop-ship program.
