*** I'm starting up a new mainstream venture ***
I am starting up a new mainstream venture and I wanted to let the GFY community in on it, in case it generates some serious interest in being a part of it (financial, marketing, sales, operations, etc). I have met so many people over the last 14 years in adult whether through the shows or those that have read my articles and postings, that I wanted to share with you this opportunity.
T3report.com is doing better as the economy gets worse, and its still my baby and continuing with the innovation and the operations, but I am also branching out to create this new venture that utilizes all my programming toys, marketing, and traffic tactics.
The venture will create "custom made dresses at rack prices". I have developed software that can resize a dress pattern to a woman's specific measurements, send it to a plotter, then a seamstress makes the dress, and its shipped to the customer.
Starting line is $125 (w/ free shipping).
Ask any woman about their shopping woes, and they will tell you that it is a challenge to find clothes that fit. Many women are one size on top and another size on the bottom, that doesn't match up to the hourglass shape that the Fashion Industry designs for. Pear-shaped women represent over 75% of the population.. hour glasses are around 8%.
A custom made dress can cost $350+.
There will be a woman's portal that launches concurrently with the online store that will foster a community. There will be writers to contribute articles about hair, makeup, fashion, health, food, etc. With the portal comes opportunities to sell other things, even porn (lol).
Its the "gimmick" of a custom made dress that will bring attention to the website, its the portal that will keep them around.
I designed the first dress, a simple little black dress, that will flatter a woman because it fits her curves.
Even if someone is more of an hourglass shape, having a long or short torso beyond the standard size throws things off, that's why so many dresses are high waisted (empire waist) because easier to fit more women, but the result is that it looks like they are pregnant.
I will have a very limited affiliate program that will pay $45 per customer. I know that word of mouth will spread this and women will find the website due to surveying 100+ women, all are waiting for the store to open and ready to tell their 10-20+ friends once they get their dress. There will be all kinds of fun marketing, from viral videos, social networks, SEO, buying traffic, affiliate traffic, runway shows, parties, and sponsorships.
The biz model is to open one or more factory/showroom in major cities. People can certainly buy from the website, but having a store means instant credibility when handing over the CC, and also allows for the idea that its not just made in the USA, its made locally. Lots of tie-ins to local marketing, charity events, etc.
I have personally invested $60K+ into this thing and the R&D stage is almost over.
If you are interested to learn more, icq me or email me (brandon -at- t3report.com) and I can send you a summary document and we can continue the discussion offboard.
While this is posted on an adult forum, we all know that almost everyone has a mainstream background, unless you were literally born into porn LOL, that everyone has some hook or angle that could plug into this venture. As I have shared this idea with people, I started to find out that some had fashion backgrounds themselves. I look forward to hearing from those who are interested and have some kind of connection or hook that can tie-in to what I am starting.
Fight the blue skies!
