Australia has recently seen their very own Honey Birdette launching a website directed at the United States. There are also plans to expand towards the United Kingdom and Europe in general. The brand has plans to increase the number of stores they have in their UK portfolio. At the moment there is only three, but by the end of 2018, there could be as many as 40.

International Brand Growth

The Honey Birdette brand was born in Brisbane in 2006, and it was the brain child of Eloise Monaghan. The United States online shops were opened when the sales rose by as much as 374% over a period of 12 months. Now there is a different platform allowing people to not only shop but to have a better experience. It will allow deliveries to be faster and in some cases even free (over orders of 50$). The return policies will be more flexible, and the range for US clients will expand.

New shops will be opened in the US after the online success after the UK store count goes up.

The first shop Honey Birdette had outside Australia is located in London. Later two more stores opened their doors to customers. Covent Garden, Leeds’ Victoria Gate, and Westfield White City all proudly carry the Honey Birdette name.

Unapologetic and Sensual Experience

Honey Birdette is an Australian boutique. It saw its beginnings during a chat between two friends enjoying a glass of champagne. They were talking about the almost impossible task of finding the right kind of lingerie and then set out to change it.

The boutiques are exclusive, sensual and lush in interior design. They allow their customers to have an experience during their shopping trip. They can leave with some lovely pieces and good memories about the time they spent in one of the Honey Birdette boutiques.

It is style and sophistication all in one wrapped with a bow.

This is Australia’s first sensuality boutique with 55 stores in the country. Honey Birdette was started in the year 2006 by two close friends. This idea came up as a result of them having troubles in accessing luxury and lingerie bedroom accessories. This was the main reason they decided to introduce a new sense of sensuality to flavor up the Australian bedroom. Apart from providing lingerie to high-end toys, Honey Birdette offers guidance to their clients who are in need of any kind of pleasure parlor. All of their products are designed in the Honey Birdette Headquarters under the leadership of Eloise Monaghan who is the founder and creative director.

Honey Birdette is designed to ensure that all clients visiting their shops leave the place with the best experience. This is achieved by the range of bespoke accessories available. Basically, its Honeys are offered to not only give power to women but also to ensure that they are entertained.

Recently, the brand did launch its US e-commerce site. It further, revealed its strategy that by the end of the year 2018, they would have upgraded their UK retail portfolio from the current 3 stores to forty (40). Launching of the US site is majorly triggered by the rise in US online sales witnessed in the past one year. This is intended to boost client experience, by ensuring fast delivery of products to their clients. Furthermore, it is projected to ensure that more products are easily accessed by their customer regardless of the location.

Apart from having opened stores in London’s Covent Garden last year, Honey Birdette also targets to set up retails in the US. It is also looking forward to investing in other premium places in Europe. Price for the best brand ranges from £35 for briefs and £60 for bras.

This Brazilian investment manager is a talented musician, something that may be unknown to many. Before concentration on business and investment, Cassio and his band were doing great in music, and it was unexpected that he would quit music given that he is highly gifted.

How was Audi’s 4 years in Music?

One of the greatest skills that have allowed Cassio soar high in his career is his dedication and possession of excellent leadership skills. These leadership skills seems inborn given that he was able to offer leadership that would lead to a band that would release two albums before quitting for the finance world.
The group was made of five talented people namely Yves Passarel, Pit Passarell, Cassio Audi, Andre Machado, and Felipe Machado. This great team was organized such that each individual was positioned to take part in the area they excelled most. For Cassio, he was always in the drum sets something he did enthusiastically with all his strength.

The Viper Rock Band as they would call it started in 1985 with a sole purpose of producing quality music and allowing people to enjoy listening and watching them sing. Their major motivation and inspiration were Iron Maiden and British heavy metal musicians. That provided Viper Rock Band the enthusiasm they required to remain motivated in their career

Milestones Realized in Cassio’s Time

Being a new group with the growing challenges, it became apparent for them to have a demo before doing their first release. The demo allowed the band an opportunity to make adjustments on the tunings and songs. They named the demo The Killer Sword with specific tracks namely the Prince from Hell, Nightmare, and The Killer.

After this, a few adjustments were made, and in 1987 Viper Rock Band released their first album called The Soldier of Sunrise. Apparently, despite the challenges, the team received a four-star rating from Allmusic. Two years later, the group released the second album and as usual Audi was positioned at the drum sets.
