Executive Summary:Foxy Originals has been becoming a popular jewelry brand in Canada with their low-priced high-class products. With fast pace growing in local market, Foxy’s jewelry has gradually reached saturation point in Canada. Kluger and Orol, as owners, decided to enter the U.S. market by January 2005. Only problem they faced is to determine which method of distribution is best.
Currently, there are three options Foxy can consider to implement.
Attending trade shows hiring sales representative
Combination of doing both
If Kluger and Orol choose one without carefully consideration, they will probably fail to expand U.S. markets, and even take a bath by dumb move.

Based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis, Foxy should hire sales representatives in the key fashion hubs for expansion of U.S. market. This distribution method has low investment, high return and high efficiency
