Sometimes you run into a person who is just cooler, hipper more energetic than you. For me this is rare……..okay well the more energetic part is rare…… However, Kerry Bannigan the founder of Nolcha is all of those things. Plus, she is beautiful, fun, smart and devoted to discussing the industry side of fashion. It is her energy that has been pivotal in creating the partnership between Global Entrepreneurship Week and Nolcha.

We are pleased to announce that Nolcha just announced their partner activity for the Week! They will run Independent Retail Week during Global Entrepreneurship Week in order to highlight the role of the entrepreneur in fashion! Check out their site for more information. Plus read the following for details:

This initiative aims to drive economy into local businesses and increase revenue. For one week only, November 17–23, 2008, some of New York City’s best independent stores in fashion, beauty, accessories and more will offer selected services and products at 20% discount.

This is a simple and unique opportunity for independent retailers in NY to increase brand awareness, sales and traffic to their store by being part of this citywide campaign. Consumers will have the opportunity to shop at some of the best independent stores in NYC at a fraction of the price.

“Independent retail businesses are an important aspect of the economy in Manhattan. I am thrilled to support Nolcha in this effective initiative to increase small business awareness and growth,” states Nancy Ploeger, President, Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.
