#Olympics @NBCOlympics #SocialTV done wrong- missing the opportunity to gain market share

via nbcolympics.com

What will our sector look like in 2015… How is the way we traditionally do things changing ad affecting user habits… how does that reflect in our business model!
Some executive saw it as an opportunity to increase their cable numbers rather than to Look at the bigger picture…
How ma of us are doing the same thing in adapting and adopting technology
Devices are personal… capture that info ad ou have the closest access to an individual
Why extend to these platforms ad miss the market opportunit!
How is this sector changing and leverage their investment to establish a strong footing in an emerging market! It's the subtle changes that old establishments are missing... It’s not just using the technology but how you do so that matters! It seemed so easy-
“View online listings for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Watch every sport live online. Exclusive coverage only on NBC The evenn integrated with Facebook...”
That is till you needed to enter your cable username and password!
NBCOlympics.com has exclusive rights in the US. So in planning their business model the question is were they doing so with a 1998 audience 0r a 2016 audience in mind!
Pure 1998 thinking…
It’s the same challenge we are facing and expect to face with local startups we are encountering and expect to encounter @ Tibiaetech.com
What will our sector look like in 2015… How is the way we traditionally do things changing ad affecting user habits… how does that reflect in our business model!
I’m at a wifi café.. So I asked and not one person in the café where we’re sitting has a cable provider- username and password, nor are they willing to invest in it! Even for the Olympics...
20-40 yr old they are the smart phone, laptop, ipad audience!
The question is how could @nBColmpic have used this opportunity to gain a market advantage!
B y the way are you watching live... did you know you could!

StyleSaint replacing Mom's "FashionBooks" but not The Custom Service

 

I like this yet I have to admit I'm a little disappointed- In my mom's dress shop they were called "fashion Books' and women would carefully organize their tear sheets By  color, occassion, cut... and these were guarded Items were used to help define new looks (ok, sometimes even exact  replicas!) 

First up there are other stylebook options currently online... though I'm  not  sure many  allow you to embed them! 

Secondly  as a trend recognition platform... this is brilliant!  Almost every woman I know keeps tear- sheets of clothing she likes! Yet for many this would be a huge improvement in organization! Plus I can see it makes it easier to send your "dressmaker or designer to your Stylesaint book!

Yet again misssed a key problem.... that of "FIT" and availability!

women  tore because they  could not obtain.

Across all sizes ages races! Women collect tear sheets beacause the item is not usually available in their size or pricepoint!  Custom is much more than having a say in what style is chosen.

The style data and trend reports alone should be a great source of income...

Now Lets address my pet  peeve Price point....

To produce at the  prices quoted usually means jobs taken abroad and poor quality in terms of fit. If not  construction! So I'll reserve judgement  till they produce the first  run! 

 The again...

The question  no one asked what of design infringement... where does "inspiration" end and "copy"  begin.

That said this is definitely one I may  even join!

Hey I  love tear sheets!

 

 

 

Fashion In Tech Is No Where near It's Tipping Point.

Fashion At Techcrunch...

coming  from teh  custom  boutique  sector teh consumer experience is totally  different! So too is the "Expereinces" customers expect! 

Revisting Email as a means of effective delivery- Please Sign up or Manage Your Secret Aliases and Superhero Identities!

First Up thanks for teh responses- communication is a two way street!

We are part of a collaborative Audience Development Program- so that  you only recieve one email on the topics you're interested in.  You are one person with a variety of interest! We understand that when complemented with teh streets Distributon  from www.Streetsofnewyork411.com  it's effective - It's leaner , greener email delivery and it  works!

But we still have  a lot  to  do ...

We need your input  in making the  list  more effective

First the why:- We alll often speak about community building and supporting  businesses. However getting  the information to the potential consumer- you is just one way to ensure we keep local businesses alive. segmenting the list helps us identify  what  you are interested in.

That is save for your secret aliases and superhero Identities!

Let me explain  - last year we painstakingly removed any double occurrences of emails! We deleted unsubscribes and  request  for removal!  so now we have almost zero unsubscribes  and  reports of spam on a 11000 plus list!

We added double opt in

and now we're segmenting our list.

the goal send you only the types of info  you want!

 

We are a Collaborative Audience Development platform  in that we manage the list  for several  companies! So that you do not get more than  one of the same  email!

Bkstyle! News- Decadent Industries Launches

Finally  some news from a brooklyn designer! thanks guys SHOP NOW - www.DecadentIndustries.com NEW YORK, NY May 10, 2012 - Decadent Industries launches new online boutique and introduces it's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection, "Kingston Avenue" Decadent Industries offers playful, vibrant and eclectic fashions and accessories for curvy women sizes 10-20. The company aims to carve its own lane in the burgeoning market of plus size fashion, by bridging the gap between mainstream and plus size offerings. “It’s not enough that stores create a separate section of uninspiring curvy fashions. Plus sized women want the same fashion choices available to their straight sized counterparts” remarks Decadent Industries founder, Nikki Buchanan. Decadent Industries debuted it’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection “Kingston Avenue” from its in-house brand, DECD, on Thursday April 12th at the Synchronicity Fine Arts Gallery located in New York, NY. Inspired by Buchanan’s experiences in her hometown of Brooklyn, NY and her Jamaican heritage,  “Kingston Avenue” embodies the changing cultural climate of fashion by using classic silhouettes and bold, eye-catching ethnic prints. “I’m constantly inspired by the attitude, culture and geographical elements of Jamaica and Brooklyn. I find that the pieces I’m creating are not only visually appealing to citizens of these locales but are being embraced on a global scale.” “Kingston Avenue” features a unique assortment of screen printed leggings, crop tops and bandeaus as well as high-waisted woven shorts and pants. In June a follow-up capsule collection, “All-White Affair”, will be released as the second part of “Kingston Avenue” and will feature monochromatic variations of the collections current pieces as well as new offerings.

We're using Technology to help "Mom and Pops" Businesses and local community organization get their word out! At Streets of New York 411 audience development through distribution is our focus and this time our media strategist adds a musical about burlesques to the IWNY lineup! Join us as we use technology to fill 2000 seats in a Brooklyn Theater and keep this show going!

An Honest review of an @Etsy artist- Quality Cost Profit for #occupy #fashion @InternetweekNY- Making IT-

Platform
Etsy
Designer:- an Independent  Brooklyn Designer's Etsy Store, I  have invited her to join the occupy Brooklyn program and be at our may 19th evnt @ ArtsCultureFest
I like the design concept ut It needs work! to improve the final product concept, cut cost and add value! An Item like this can sell and be an added value to a customers wardrobe!
Design &  Styling options not fully explored- From experience this particular  style 9two layer gathered skirt) can be worn as a dress and skirt, but also the two layers gives added styling  optings

Merchandising- adding an optional scarf woul add "value and styling  option" and allow for "upsale" 

·         Construction – Unfortunately  This is poorly executed!  Check seams and drape of garment!

o   Cut – Not  consisten,  sure done on proper grain

o   Sewing Poor:-

Sales collateral…

·         Images- Average- details not clear

·         Designers should Press items Before shooting images

Description

·         Length two lengths offered but not stated

·         Size 6-12 - items should have width info

·         Fabrication made of  Cotton Llinen  and Satin (type not stated)  From (not sure where fabric is local or imported - a LEGAL requirement on delivery)

·         Care instructions- ?

Color swatches stated but not shown

 Pricing
Her price for the short version $49.00
Her price for the Long version $38.00 - I'm stll trying to figure that one!

	Short version	Long Version
Design	$2-	$2
Overheads	$ 5	$5
Satin	1 & 1/2yrd at $5.00 = $7.50	3+1/2yds @$5=   $17.50
Cotton	1yd @ $4.00               =$4.00	1 + 3/4 @$4=          $6.00
Labor	1 & ½ Hrs @ $15.00=$22.50	1&1/2 hrs @15     $22.50
Production cost	$41.00	$53.00

Profit direct to consumer (forgoing wholesale)multiply production by 2, (note this leaves no Wholesale option but again the Etsy Platform is direct to consumer.
Suggested retail- Short $82.00 Her price for the short version $49.00
Suggested - Long $106.00 Her price for the Long version $38.00

Note I've not added marketing and shipping (which she offered free).
Now even if she got the fabric on sale at $1.00  a yard, what happens when she goes to purchase to  fill an order and the sale is done! She has not paid herself if she were to need to hire a staff …  production in limited numbers can severely cut her cost! Buying fabric in larger amounts controls that cost!
Most  independent  designers do not  do either!
Now would you pay $82 or $106 for the quality shown…
