Licensing is an essential phenomenon in the fashion industry as this is a sort of agreement that provides big advantages to the brands in exploring their tentative market in a legal manner. Licensing helps in the process of giving full control of the market and plays a crucial role in the business process (Gazzola et al. 2020). According to the graph, licensing helps in the stimulation or any alterations in the entire process of the brand.
Licensing is important as this process assists in the building of more fashion and sales and also paves the way for design-based brands. This process helps in the reduction of risk in the development of the product and also assists in the process of providing market resting aspects. Apart from this, from the standpoint of the licensor, fewer risks are identified in the product development process (Jan et al. 2020). In the same process, the help of licensing also allows for proper access to the process of market testing and distribution of the products.
Apart from this, as a company has sufficient legal backing through the process of licensing, the entire business gains ground in entering the foreign market, too, in an efficient manner (Dicuonzo et al. 2020). Besides this, the whole process of having a licensing under a name helps in the creation of self-employment opportunities, as from a licensing standpoint, there lies an opportunity to get a monopoly over a particular product and service, and also this helps in getting the needed advantages over other firms.
