Hello, Fastlaners!
After a few start-up attempts, with some failures and some successes, this is my first legit business. I have done all the premeditative work such as registering my business, obtaining my sellers permit, deciding on a website design (bigcommerce), identifying ways I can add value, and establishing a business plan. The target market is cosplayers which are people who dress up as popular anime/video game characters and meet up at conventions
Now this is my plan: I am combining my love of video games with the need for realistic cosplay costumes. My goal is to provide the utmost realistic and high quality costumes available, and provide every imaginable accessory. (Costumes, weapons, wigs, body paint, color contacts) you name it. If the character possesses a certain trait or item, I will make sure to provide it as an optional purchase. I will also make my best effort to provide accurate product photos on human models (even 3d views), detailed descriptions, and excellent customer service. I am not just going to follow suit with the rest of the industry; I won't settle for anything less than #1
As I make significant progress, I will document it in this thread. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated since I don't have much business experience at all. My next goal is to contact as many manufacturers as possible and thin them out until I'm left with the cream of the crop.
Edit: Here's my finished website!: http://www.cosplaygamer.com/
