Looking for one partner for NFL Female Fan Site

**OnTheWayUp** · 02-29-2008 08:05 AM

Hey,

As some of you may already know, I am developing a female NFL fan site, nflpink.com

So far, I have the ok from the NFL, 20 articles written by a professional writer, t-shirts are being designed for manufacturing, pink footballs are in production, website almost complete, and still no jerseys.

I have contact several manufacturers, some did not want to produce pink jerseys, most have been flaky, but one stands out the most.
I have contacted the company, talked to several people who have ordered NFL jerseys from them, and the sample is on the way, which from the picture is going to look great. The company is licensed, the jerseys are authentic, and should be good to go.

Only problem is that they need min order of 200, $18 per jersey, for a total cost of $3600, which I do not have. I will be selling the jersey for $45.00, while other sites are selling for 50+. I have spoke with several ebayers that would buy the jerseys in bulk and dropship the jerseys for me, but all flaked out, so finding a partner is my last option.

The jerseys have been constantly sold out at NFLShop.com, so I know the jerseys will move with the right advertising. I will also sell on ebay, to further promote the jerseys and the site.

So I am looking for a partner to put up some up front capital for the jerseys. Only serious inquiries please. There is a lot of profit to be made, and this will not be a one time deal, we can share the profits for the lifetime of the site.

The proposed launch of the site is april 1st, the company needs 6 days lead time and 2 weeks max to produce. They will provide pro forma invoice. 30% needed to start producing.

You can see the upcoming site at NFL

PM me even if slightly interested. We can talk further.

For those of you looking for a business plan, will have to wait until after 5:00 (off work)

I'm curious if the partner will be sharing in the entire venture of nflpink.com or just sharing in the revenue from the jerseys? In either case, what percentage of the business or revenue will the investor receive?

That is dependent on the partner. I do need help getting everything I can out of nflpink.com, so a share in the entire venture is not out of the question, for the right partner. They can also share the revenue from just the jerseys, by providing the amount for the production of the jerseys.

I have a feeling that the site will be larger than I anticipated. I am recieving emails everyday, just from our blog. Women are very interested in this idea, and I don't want to disappoint them.

This idea started out with a forum, articles, and news, and then came the unique products, such as the pink footballs, which I feel is where the popularity will come in.

I rather have an experienced partner in this venture, rather than just money.

Anyone who is interested in helping me gain everything I can from the site will be offered a 50/50 split. I have everything in place, just needs some detailing.

I do not do jerseys in house like that because there is a lot involved, but I could prob find you a deal with a lower min order if you were interested.
I know a lot of people in the industry and especially if we print your shirts I'll try and hook you up on the jerseys.

Thanks MAS, I am very interested.

Send price per shirt, and bulk order prices, along with some styles of the womens shirts you offer.

if you would like shoot me an email or pm with the jerseys you already saw and liked so we can be on the same page. Since I am a printer I have tons of catalogs and can easily just go through a sports one and find the same type jersey you want and then get a friend company of mine to produce that actual printed product.

Talk with you soon

**OnTheWayUp** · 02-29-2008 12:21 PM

I would like these to be the authentic or replica NFL jerseys. Is this possible?

Be very careful before you agree to split anything 50/50 with anyone. Taking on a partner (as opposed to an investor) is not something to do lightly or in a hurry. An investor comes with fixed parameters for what they get and what you get and the relationship is normally well defined (they should, anyway). A partner can turn into a much messier thing, especially if you are giving them equal rights in a 50/50 split.
