Websites that can boost your fashion business
Posted by Megan on August 26, 2009 | No Comments
The Internet is positively one of the smartest, most convenient options for acquiring information these days. It has evolved so impressively in the past decade that almost everything has been made possible for us not only in terms of learning but also in trading.
Established fashion labels for instance, are marketing themselves on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, according to an article posted on the Business of Fashion blog. But while these sites might prove to be useful, their popularity with the public may lead to a loss of exclusivity.
A good alternative is provided by more focused social media such as fashionbusinessclub.net where you can link with industry professionals and promote your business. You may also find useful contacts in myfdb.com which claims to have “built the largest credited fashion database on the web”. It is, at this point, still in closed beta but you can request an invitation on the site. We’re still waiting for our invitation!
Iqons.com, a social network with a magazine, helps promising fashion designers get the exposure they need by featuring members on the website and publishing their works and accomplishments. Nineteen74.com is also very useful in this respect, in particular due to their powerful events and announcements functions. Members in the network updated with events, projects and job opportunities.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for more specific information about emerging fashion labels, want to develop your career, are recruiting simply want to build your network without having to put time into creating profiles on social networks, fashionunited.co.uk (international), fashioncapital.co.uk, and manchesterfashion.com are the places to join the discussion and connect with other people and companies.
These fashion focused social networks are invaluable when seeking to establish yourself as a new talent, whether you’re building up your own business or looking to work for someone else. The world is at your fingertips. All you need is tech savvy.
