New idea for a site what do you think, i really need some suggestions
 

i need a few hundred visitors to get started, then im going to ad a contest where designers design clothes and submit then to me. The winner will be able to sell the clothes on my site and earn %

I will have different categories for example

t-shirt design
Pants
Sweaters
shirts

etc

So i need to contact fashion schools and see if they are interestead.

What are your thoughts

I dunno.. Good luck. I can't see anybody being interested though. If the person can design clothes, why would they want to sell them on your site?

do some more research on how things work

Because i have visitors (will have alot more) and if they are new clothing designers they wanna sell them, so i think it's a great idea

Your visitors will be a bunch of wannabe designers, n'est pas?

You need a good domain for that.

You will need a huge amount of productive traffic for that to work.

A better idea would simply be to create a platform for up and coming designers to show their wares. Invest in a custom script, custom design, logo. Make it look like a place where a young designer would like to upload pics of his / her designs for sale.

What you then do is get visitors to vote for their favorite designers. The winner each month wins "something" and gets a review (ie more exposure and more sales for him / her).

Tell your programmers to think along the lines of photography rating sites (ie www.istockphoto.com).

No im going to contact fashion schools, so i wont have any wannabe designers, and they won't even win, because they can't design everything. Im not looking for a logo on a t-shirt. They have design everything (choose the fabric to etc to the finished clothing)

I have a really good dn for that

Thanks alot for the idea, i will look into it

Good luck

ok i will think about it this week and let you know what im going to do.
But i might do something simular to what kristian wrote + the shop i was talking about

ok, make sure you post in this thread every day and keep us posted.

I'm also looking forward to daily updates on how this project is going.

can i buy shares in the company

This is a good suggestion. All the fashion designers I know are stumbling around trying to get thier own sites up and know nothing about the interwebs. :1orglaugh You could get a designer to team with you and also offer them design services and brand development as they need that too.
