How many college students are looking to decorate their dorms with art/designs or with anything at all?<br />
<br />
Now many. Now, those who are, are they willing to spend much money to do so? You just said they/you don't.<br />
<br />
Small niche, small need/profits. You need to find a problem worth solving.<br />
<br />
I don't think I am wrong, but if I am, prove me wrong. (Seriously)<br />
<br />
Btw, Ikea.

Well every college student I know. I've talked to my friends and they thought it was a good idea.<br />
<br />
The idea is that they wouldn't have to spend as much, that's the problem I'm solving. All of the stuff out there right now is way overpriced for what you get.<br />

I would be able to offer the same types of artwork, designs, whatever as these and at a lower price, one that is more likely to appeal to college students. Also I realized that it doesn't have to be marketed specifically at college students, it could be more of a low cost aesthetic supply kind of thing for young people in general. I also think I would be able to market my brand/website much better than anyone else.<br />
<br />
In reference to Ikea, it would be about the same, just different (better) selection.<br />
<br />
I also thought that, beyond importing from China, this could give a way for college art students to sell some of their work. They normally wouldn't have a market and wouldn't think about selling their work, but this could offer one. I would easily be able to start this at my school and if it worked would be easy to expand.</div>
