With the massive growth of daily deals sites over the past year it’s hardly surprising that someone wants to combine the formula with the world of independent clothing. The Communitee tried it last year and as far as I can tell it didn’t go so well (though their site says they will be opening soon… again), but I do believe that there is potential to create a daily deals platform that could do some real good in the indie clothing world. Clearly Wearabl think they can give it a good go, and here’s their pitch:
We act as a Daily Deals platform connecting indie tee brands as well as indie
fashion designers to consumers who are looking for unique, well-crafted gear.
Ultimately we’re looking to provide brands and designers the ability to be able
to breakthrough some of the threshold guardians that prevent them from making a
living from their passion.
I know that when brands get on Fab.com they do very well, often their highest sales days ever, but of course Fab has a million members (I think, that’s just coming from memory). You need to have a massive user base to generate the amount of sales which will make a daily deal attractive to potential brands (why offer shirts at a cut rate if you aren’t going to sell a large volume), and you need to have impressive deals to entice potential customers and get them to give away their e-mail address and check in on the site regularly. They’re offering $1 in credit per referral signup at the moment, which I assume will help to swell their e-mail list before launch in the Spring, but for now there isn’t too much to go on. Any of you guys excited to have a daily deals site that caters to indie clothing? Would any brands out there want to showcase their goods on a site like this?

Traditionally Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days (and weekends) in the calendar and in the t-shirt industry it is no different.

I signed up to Fab.com (one of those ‘invite only’ daily deal sites that aren’t really invite only but if you sign up through my link I get some store credit) a few weeks back after seeing they have t-shirt deals every so often and that they also have really cool design-related items, even though they don’t ship outside of the UK yet. Yesterday I got one of their mail-outs and in it there were ‘Craig & Karl’ t-shirts, now I’ve never heard of Craig and Karl, but I recognised quite a few of their shirts, their shirts which are usually pretty expensive (around $40), so to be able to pick them up for $16 a pop seems like a smashing idea. sale is on for another day and a half or so.
Scared Panda, who I’ve mentioned a few times, have decided to start a ‘T-shirt of the Month‘ feature in which one of their shirts is offered for sale for $5 less than usual, and will provide you with a bit of back story explaining what inspired the design. Well, they say that they’ll take $5 off, but shirts are usually $20 there and the shirt above is currently $16. No need to get too down about that though as you can go even lower than $16 with our exclusive coupon code, HIDEYOURARMS, that will get you 15% off your order.
