The concept: mixing fun and artistic expression through bold and interesting duvet cover designs.
The target buyer: Young, alternative, possibly college student age, values artistic expression through their sense of fashion, the kind of people that shop at Urban Outfitters
The product: wake up in style under a reversible 100% cotton duvet cover with interesting geometric designs, including retro themes, complimentary color schemes, distinct front/back cover designs for keeping it fresh. So many duvet cover designs I see out there currently are either old fashioned, or 'blah' / uninspiring…
Value and differentiation: unique artistic prints, 100% cotton for ultimate comfort, reversible covers
I have zero background in ecommerce but I've been toying with this idea over for weeks. Currently in a full time job but would like to get this started on the side, if only to see if it has legs…
- How do I find out if this idea has value? (or I'm just crazy)
- How does one bootstrap the startup process? I have some money to fund, but would rather keep costs low initially in case the market proves my idea to be worthless…
- Any tips on finding a mentor in this space? Or other resources for beginner guidance
- Where does one find a trustworthy manufacturer? Is alibaba truly the best option here? It seems most have an MOQ of 1000 for something like this…
- Is there such thing as an online 'shark tank' / 'dragons den' for pitching business concepts and getting critique from established ecommerce gurus? If not – does someone wanna help me create THAT as a new business????
