Whats your opinion?

[jrod31]

For the past year or so i've been designing my own t-shirts just for fun. behind every design there is a meaning.. and this is my about us:

"A company designed to offset its view of life and live beyond its creative mind" | "innovative minds, speaking impressive ideas" At BCM we support the upcoming and the one that lives by doing what they love to do, where passion is their drive to perseverance have a result of accomplishment. We are innovators and entrepreneurs that live a creative trendy lifestyle. We view and question the world, our surrounding and imagine the impossible behind it. We speak our impressive ideas and opinions through what we wear.

people have told me to start selling them.. well i though yes..... but i had a idea...
there is so many creative people that are interested in designing their own shirt but don't have the capital for it. well what if i give them the opportunity to design them and i will sell them on my website. I will take a commission but at the same time support the upcoming artist.
I have already 2-3 artist that will be interested...

would it be a good idea in combing their designs with mines under 1name or making a different website and selling different artist designs.... including mines...

thanks for your opinion....

Wow! I really like thsi idea, I have a few friends who are really good street artists and when they were younger they would have beaten a path down to your door to have access to a service like this.

As far as you question goes whether to sell your designs and these togtehre or make different website I believe you will have to test to get teh real answer however I like teh idea of selling them all on the same website, have a section where your shirts are and a section where otehr artists designs are. Great idea! and good luck

WOW sounds like an interesting idea. Plus you have experience! I'd say you have to combine the shirts under one website but categorize them so its easier for customers to find their shirt of interest. There is no point in working on multiple sites unless you link them together because you have to worry about things like SEO etc. You definitely have a successful business going and make sure you WORK on your current 3 artists. They will VALIDATE you and your business moving forward so make sure they are the happiest people in the history of your company. Give them some more incentives etc. since after all, they are taking a chance with you who hasn't had so much traction yet. Good luck!

**Update**

this is an update of this project.
So i decided to support artists that have a dream and vision but dont have the capability or capital to invest. Am looking for creative talented artist that have a story behind their designs. I will sponsor them on the t-shirts and they will have their own signature line under BCM | By Creative Minds.

i dont want to follow a trend of society like every other brand.. i want people to follow us for what we and who we represent.

I will also be doing contest between artist.

Any new ideas??? i am open to...

Please follow our journey!

Its an excellent idea. Already cafepress does something similar as users can register and upload their own designs. Then buyers can order the tshirts at the cafepress website with the design they want.

I know you are right, but this is not for everyone. We are not going to do everyones t-shirt. We want to get couple of artist under our brand but with their own signature line. who ever comes on board mush have a story behind them. We dont want to be like every other brand that society follows them, they become seasonal. we want people that understands what we represent and who we support.

This is a good idea. As long as you organise the site well you will have plenty of customers. Try and get a wide range of shirts, like for example comedy ones and then loves ones. And if you dont have enough variety then put some of your own designs into that area so that there isnt loads of one variety.
Good idea you have here
