(Kitty Hawk, N.C.) Casual apparel and activewear company OBX Outfitters™ has joined the Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce to help grow its business and provide opportunities to contribute to the economic stability of the local business community. OBX Outfitters™ is utilizing new contacts through the Chamber to reach out to area retailers who might be interested in selling the company’s Made-in-NC, USA clothing, as well as issuing a call for Outer Banks artists interested in working on designs for expanding clothing lines. “The Chamber has been fantastic in welcoming us into the fold and connecting us with leaders in the Outer Banks business community,” Stacy Menzies, OBX Outfitters™ president said, adding, “We’ve already had several productive meetings with area retailers who we have approached about selling our apparel. We’re excited to do business with our fellow Chamber members.”
In addition to soliciting retail outlets, Menzies said she is seeking local artists to provide concept art and final designs for her Find Your Happy Place™ and Find Your Stride™ casual and performance tees.
“Both our lines are all about celebrating the pure joy that is the Outer Banks, and we’re looking for graphic artists who have experienced that joy first-hand,” she said.
Artists interested in learning more about opportunities with OBX Outfitters™ should contact Stacy Menzies at stacy@obxoutfitters.com. The company is looking for visual artists experienced with traditional media or computer-generated art producing work such as charcoal sketches, watercolors and drawings.
“We’re a fun, family owned company and would love to talk with up-and-coming artists as well as established folks,” Menzies said.
The company’s search for local artists and retailers is in keeping with its focus on producing locally sourced products as part of a larger solution to fight the ill effects of globalization. Instead of using cheap clothing made overseas, OBX Outfitters™ has contracted with a North Carolina manufacturer to produce quality apparel made by North Carolinians earning a livable wage.
OBX Outfitters™ apparel is available online at Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), a Fortune 500 company based in Seattle, Washington offering Earth’s Biggest Selection. Amazon was chosen as an OBX Outfitters™ online marketplace for its reliability, security, and easy access for the millions of Outer Banks visitors from Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia and North Carolina.
